BlackBerry's latest smartphone, the Bold 9780, has already started selling in India. According to a tweet from a person at Mahesh Telecom, the phone is priced at Rs. 26,900.

The Bold 9780 is a slightly updated version of the 9700 that was released last year. The hardware has been improved and the new phone has double the amount of RAM (512MB) as the 9700. The camera resolution has been bumped too. It now has a 5 megapixel camera with auto-focus, flash and image stabilization compared to the 3 megapixel camera on the Bold 9700. Rest everything remains the same on both the phones.

The new smartphone will be running the new BlackBerry OS 6.0, which features an improved interface, faster WebKit based browser and improved music and photos applications.
