UPDATE: According to @mekyuyu, this offer is limited at 30 packages per day.
BlackBerry devices are going for cheap at PC Fair which is happening at KL Convention centre from today until 4th December 2011. If you’ve been eyeing on a BlackBerry, this is probably the best time to get it. They are throwing 50% for the 2nd unit and this isn’t for the old models.
This is applicable on the recently launched BlackBerry Bold 9790, BlackBerry Curve 9360 and BlackBerry Curve 9380. Meanwhile, the rest of the BlackBerry line up will get you exclusive BB T-Shirts and laptop bag. The BlackBerry Bold 9790 is sold outright at RM1,488 while the Curve 9360 and 9380 are priced at RM1,166.
The 50% promo is valid if you purchase any original BlackBerry accessories. Each customer is limited to 2 pairs (4 smart phones). The free items offered is available while stocks last. Head over to Booth #C02 to grab yours.
UPDATE: Lowyat Store offers the BlackBerry Bold 9790 at RM1,399 and Curve 9380 at RM999 outright.
Today, the BlackBerry Bold 9790 and Curve 9380 will be officially launched in Malaysia. The expected pricing is RM1,488 for the Bold 9790 and RM1,166 for the Curve 9380.
In most occasions, smart phones don’t normally go on sale on launch day but the folks at Lowyat.net is giving Malaysians an alternative way of getting it faster. Of course, no rioting is necessary as Lowyat.net is having limited units for sell at their store today. If you can wait, U Mobile is bundling the Bold 9790 with availability scheduled on 5th December onwards.
Keep your eyes locked on to Lowyat.Net Store today to be among the first to get it in Malaysia.

And the hits just keep on coming for BlackBerry fans in Malaysia. Hot after an unbelievable launch in Indonesia, the Bold 9790 and the Curve 9380 will hit Malaysian stores next.
We don’t have a definitive date but judging by a media launch that’s scheduled to happen late next week, you can expect the two latest Blackberry devices to hit stores soon after that, possibly as early as next weekend.
We have the pricing, we know at least one telco will offer to go with the BlackBerry 9790 (you can expect Celcom to come on board as well) and we know roughly when the devices will hit the market. All that BlackBerry fans need to do now is decide on which one they’re going to get.
Those who are looking forward to the riot inducing BlackBerry 9790 and the Curve 9380 will be happy to note that IMCC has revealed the most likely confirmed pricing of the two devices.
When available in Malaysia, the BlackBerry Bold 9790 is likely to retail for RM1,488 while the full touchscreen Curve 9380 is expected to sell for RM1,166.
The BlackBerry Bold 9790 features a 1GHz single-core processor with 768MB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage (versus the Bold 9900 1.2Ghz processor with 768MB RAM and 8GB on board storage). You also get a micro SD card slot that support cards up to 32GB.
Other than that, the Bold 9790 features a smaller 2.45-inch capacitive touch screen compared to the 2.8-inch capacitive touch screen on the Bold 9900. The Bold 9790 has a lower resolution display as well, pushing 480×360 pixels with 246dpi versus the 640×480 screen on the Bold 9900 that pushes out 286dpi. Another notable difference is the camera. Both devices feature a 5MP camera but the Bold 9790 shoots videos in VGA resolution (640×480) while the Bold 9900 shoots 720p videos.
The BlackBerry Curve 9380 is the first touchscreen device in the Curve family. It features a 3.2-inch 480×360 display, a single-core 800Mhz processor and a 5MP camera that shoots 720p videos, and that’s pretty much it.
U Mobile has already revealed that it will be offering the Bold 9790 with a bundled plan. What’s left to be announced now are just the plans themselves. We’ll keep a lookout for that for you.

RIM today announced two new phones in its BlackBerry line-up — the Bold 9790 and the Curve 9380. Both devices run RIM’s latest BlackBerry 7 operating system.
BlackBerry Bold 9790
The BlackBerry Bold 9790 slots just below the Bold 9900 flagship, it features a 1GHz single-core processor with 768MB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage (versus the Bold 9900 1.2Ghz processor with 768RAM and 8GB on board storage). You also get a micro SD card slot that support cards up to 32GB.
Other than that, the Bold 9790 features a smaller 2.45-inch capacitive touch screen compared to the 2.8-inch capacitive screen on the Bold 9900. The Bold 9790 has a lower resolution display as well, pushing 480×360 pixels with 246dpi versus the 640×480 screen on the Bold 9900 that pushes out 286dpi. Another notable difference is the camera. Both devices feature a 5MP camera but the Bold 9790 shoots videos in VGA resolution (640×480) while the Bold 9900 shoots 720p videos.
BlackBerry Curve 9380
The BlackBerry Curve 9380 is the first touchscreen device in the Curve family. It features a 3.2-inch 480×360 display, a single-core 800Mhz processor and a 5MP camera that shoots 720p videos, and that’s pretty much it.
No details on pricing has been announced, RIM says the Bold 9790 and the Curve 9380 will enter markets around the world in the coming weeks. You can expect local operators to offer plans for the devices when they arrive in Malaysia. We have a strong feeling that the Curve 9380 is coming to U Mobile when it hits Malaysia but this is yet to be confirmed.

If the Porsche Design BlackBerry isn’t your thing, we can expect more sensible Blackberry devices coming our way. Another device which we got tipped is the BlackBerry Curve 9380 which was snapped by @pyrozyro. At first glance, it does look similar to the Torch 9860 but it is actually smaller with a 3.2″ screen. Other details revealed include a 800MHz processor, 5MP camera and it runs on the latest BlackBerry 7 OS. Availability is still unknown at the moment.
The Curve 9380 was rumoured quite a while and it was recently confirmed accidentally on BlackBerry’s development blog. The development post also revealed the BlackBerry Bold 9790 which is likely to have Bold 9900‘s touch screen and features in the former Bold 9780 design.
