BlackBerry will not launch low-end smartphones in 2013

BlackBerry just announced that plans to launch low-end smartphones that run BlackBerry 10 in 2013. This was confirmed by Stephen Bates, a director of BlackBerry Europe. Should be released any BB10 phone like this, it will not until 2014, since when the company has other plans.

BlackBerry has launched / launch the new BB Z10 and Q10 to show the world the potential of its new platform, which could not adequately perform a phone with low specifications. The idea of the company is the first release his platform in the mid-range market and then just go down to the low end, but do not plan to make such a thing this year. On the other hand, some models BlackBerry Curve and other low-end sales have been good in some places in recent months, so if someone wants to buy a new low-end smartphone BB will have to resort to the existing market, which run with BlackBerry OS 7 and 7.1.

If you expected the launch of BlackBerry 10 mobile low price, then you have to wait until at least next year to get one.

Do you think the strategy is right BlackBerry or perhaps should focus entirely on its new operating system?
