Shah Alam, 26 September 2011 – DiGi Telecommunications Sdn Bhd (“DiGi”) has unveiled DiGi BlackBerry® Store, the first of its kind in Malaysia, which is dedicated to featuring BlackBerry smartphones and accessories available for the Malaysian market.

The Store is located at the DiGi flagship store, The DiGi 360 Center in SoHo, Mont Kiara. Occupying the entire mezzanine floor, covering approximately 1100 square feet, DiGi will partner with Research In Motion (RIM) to build a comprehensive and personalised one-stop BlackBerry centre to further enhance DiGi’s users’ experience of their BlackBerry® smartphones and BlackBerry® PlayBook tablet.

According to DiGi’s Head of Retail, Patrick Er, “There are over 1.5 million BlackBerry users in Malaysia and we see a strong product roadmap which will further enhance this position, and DiGi wants to strengthen our position in this market. We are looking at supporting the local BlackBerry user community by providing a spot where BlackBerry enthusiasts can converge, learn and share their BlackBerry experience with each other. Together with RIM, we will also have monthly BlackBerry related activities.

“At DiGi, we want to continue to add value to our customers and we believe BlackBerry fans will appreciate a store where they can find every BlackBerry device and PlayBook tablet for the Malaysian market under one roof,” added Er.
