Chinese Telecom Company Launches 'RedBerry'

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the friends-in-your-corner dept.

Ubergrendle writes "The Globe&Mail is reporting that Chinese telecom company China Unicom Ltd. is launching a new wireless device unapologetically named 'Redberry'. This comes in the wake of an almost 2 year regulatory delay blocking the introduction of RIM's Blackberries to mainland China. Certainly this delay was convenient to China Unicom, if not deliberately staged to allow for domestic competition."

    From one of the articles I read, the Redberry name is just a nickname for the "Uni Pushmail" software running on the phones.

    The first wave of Daxian CU-928 Pocket PC phones
    bundled with Uni PushMail software has started pouring into the market. Not
    to be outdone by the internationally renowned Blackberry, the Redberry, as
    Uni PushMail is nicknamed, flourishes in the Chinese telecom value-added
    service sector.
