The leading models of BlackBerry 7 smartphones were introduced in India starting from the iconic BlackBerry Bold 9900 back in August 2011. Later till December, all other phones BlackBerry Torch 9810, BlackBerry Torch 9860, BlackBerry Curve 9360, BlackBerry Curve 9380 & BlackBerry Bold 9790 were launched successfully. The Curve series, as usual, is the enrty point Blackaberry & the pricing of Rs. 19,900 for Curve 9360/9380 has been a turn-off factor for many. Though it sports NFC & Radio with the latest OS 7.1, the new Crackberrys preferred staying behind with Curve 8520 which is still a huge successor.
According to Mr. Sunil Dutt, MD, RIM India, the price drop for all devices will eventually occur later this year. The starting range of Blackaberry 7 smartphones will be available for less than Rs. 15,000 cutting those recently vast hyped prices due to crash of Indian currency rate.
This news from officials also hints the upcoming devices later this year sporting company’s upcoming BlackBerry 10 OS which is mostly based on BlackBerry PlayBook’s Tablet OS. BlackBerry 10 is set to demo at Mobile World Conference later next month and will display the future of company’s roadmap.
