There have been rumors floating around that RIM was going to start building BlackBerry devices in Brazil. Looks like those rumors were true.
A senior editor from BerryReview.com was attending a RIM development seminar in Brazil where the rumor was confirmed.
They plan on working with Flextronics to manufacture the BlackBerry Curve 8520 in Brazil. It looks like RIM is planning on making an even bigger play into Latin America with Brazil combined with their current plant in Mexico

oh great, Flextronics… I worked for them before they shipped everything overseas in CO, and they do about anything to ship a board out… even if they know its messed up and will most likely come back.
