China Telecom BlackBerry

A spokeswoman for RIM confirmed the partnership.

China Mobile, the world’s largest carrier by accounts, previously offered the BlackBerry in China for large business users, but it only this month said it would start offering the device to consumers and small businesses as well.

RIM this month also said it plans to make a version of the BlackBerry that uses the TD-SCDMA 3G standard promoted by China Mobile and the Chinese government.

China Telecom did not say it would offer BlackBerry handsets itself, but Digital China, a local IT services vendor and product distributor, this month said it would start distributing BlackBerry handsets. Users can also buy the devices at electronics bazaars around China, where they are sold after being brought back informally from overseas.

More smartphones popular abroad have launched in China this year as the country’s three mobile carriers have rolled out their 3G services. China Unicom in recent weeks launched the country’s first official iPhone sales, and China Telecom is also in talks with Palm to offer handsets including its Pre smartphone.
