Qtel Doubles The Celebrations On the eve of BlackBerry Service’s Second Anniversary in Qatar

As a continuation of the promotions launched to celebrate the two years mark of Blackberry service in Qatar, Qtel with the Blackberry Gemini offer a few weeks ago, brings to the market a new and innovative package for the Blackberry Bold 9000. The new offer is designed to fuel BlackBerry enthusiasm nationwide and integrates with Qtel’s commitment to double the range of supported high-end Smartphone devices.
Customers who apply for Qtel’s Blackberry Internet Service and sign-up through the Shahry service will be able to purchase a Blackberry Bold 9000 for just QR 1,999, a major saving on the standard retail price of QR 2,375. 
In total, BlackBerry enthusiasts who take advantage of this celebratory offer will save QR 376 on their purchase of one of the most advanced BlackBerry models. They will also benefit from a BlackBerry Internet Service, with a connection fee of QR 150 and a monthly fee of QR 125.
BlackBerry users who want to pair the enhanced functions of the BlackBerry Bold with economical calling will find that Qtel’s Shahry Value Packs – at QR 130, 200, 300 and 575 – fuel their calling budgets for both local and international calls. The Packs offer a range of call minutes, SMS, MMS, and mobile Internet access for a fixed fee. As part of a promotion running through to January 15th, Qtel is enabling Shahry Value Pack customers to make international calls, as well as local, as part of their bundled minutes allowance.
Since Qtel has launched BlackBerry in Qatar in January 2008, the service has become one of the fastest-growing and most successful in the region, with the BlackBerry community growing by an astonishing 1,000 percent year-on-year.
As the leading provider of BlackBerry and mobile services, Qtel has worked hard to deliver the latest models to the market, supported by a range of innovative packages that enable people to match their BlackBerry service to their daily lives.
In addition to the popular BlackBerry QWERTY keyboard setup, allowing for effortless typing which is fully-supported for Arabic language use, the new BlackBerry Bold 9000 has a number of features new to the BlackBerry market in Qatar. Best among these features are camera and video recording (2.0 MP camera with flash and 3x digital zoom), and an extended battery life with a standby time of 13.5 days (324 hours) and talk time of 4.5 hours.
Vivid colors and a dazzling screen make the BlackBerry Bold service an enjoyable watch, and its powerful capacity makes it easier to use email, messaging, surf the internet and share media on popular sites like Facebook and MySpace.
The new BlackBerry Bold 9000 is an incredibly approachable smartphone, with built-in GPS, rich multimedia capabilities and access to music, games and other mobile apps for entertainment on the go. In addition to providing customers with the industry’s leading mobile email and messaging solution, the BlackBerry Bold is designed to take BlackBerry use to a whole new level of communication and entertainment.
Qtel is planning to present more offers in the upcoming period in line with its new refreshed look and feel “Fuel Your Senses”, a concept that shows how Qtel influences people’s lives every day.
The new offer is available to customers in Qtel Shops nationwide.
