Republic of India’s G-Fone G588 is pretty much a BlackBerry clone with dual SIM

There’s a new messaging device available in the ever-maturation Indian marketplace. It’s called G-Fone G588 and even though it feels legit, I can’t help but to equivalence it with the BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) Curve 8900. However, instead of a trackball that’s found in RIM’s twist, the G588 boast a D-digs (which I personally prefer).

Rest of the spectacles include dual SIM capableness (works with both GSM and CDMA networks), 1.3-megapixel photographic camera, 2.2-in QVGA screen, FM wireless, full QWERTY keyboard, and a microSD memory card one-armed bandit. Software wise, it comes with Opera Mini, music player, email diligence, mixer networking client (powered by Nimbuzz), and an Amerindian language calendar that “serves as a guiding force for the practice of various Hindu rituals and festivals.”

Availability wise, the G-Fone G-588 is sold via Bright Telecom for only 4,799 INR, which is about $105.

In a nutshell, it’s an affordable messaging device for business folks and individuals alike, and I’ve no doubts the flattop will manage to move dozens of them…
