BB10 1 million devices have been sold

Very good news for BlackBerry . On Thursday, the company has surprised everyone by announcing that during the last quarter of the year had net earnings of nearly $ 100 million. If we compare this quarter we are ending with the same last year, the outlook this time is much more favorable, since in those days then called RIM was not doing too well. In 2013 BlackBerry introduced not only a name change, but also a new attitude, a new platform and of course a new line of devices.

During the last three months, the total sales of the company in the mobile sector were 6 million units, and 1 million of these phones belong to BB10, which are mostly the Z10.

Despite having taken benefits, remember that the situation remains serious BlackBerry. The company went on to lose hundreds of millions of dollars in 2012, which will have to try to slowly recover in 2013 and in 2014 that if he wants to fully afloat.

BlackBerry has received an order for 1 million units

As said by the company BlackBerry, the firm has received the order of 1 million units of its new mobile phones, which makes it the largest order in the history of the company. Not yet disclosed who made such a request, but I'm sure I'm not the only person eager to know. Everything indicates that the order came from one of his associates, but no one seems to be aware of who he is.

Given the large number of devices, it is possible that whoever did this request is none other than the Government of Canada. The truth is that today it is likely that even the U.S. government can require as many phones, so we can not think of any reason anyone would want to buy.

The first earnings report after the launch of BlackBerry platform BB10 will be released near the end of this month, so then you can see how well he has gone to the Canadian company in this area.

What would you do with 1 million units of the new Z10 and Q10 BlackBerry?

Neglects BlackBerry sales in Japan

Sometimes you need to make certain sacrifices to later reap greater benefits. The smartphone market is a very competitive and companies that do not want to be left behind must take steps to stay ahead. While BlackBerry is not among the top vendors in the world, his ideas are more than clear, which is why they have recently adopted a new business strategy: according to the Nikkei news agency, the corporation is unable to justify the system conversion BlackBerry OS 10 to Japanese language simply because there is a number of users large enough to be worth doing. What does this mean? BlackBerry smartphones that 10 is not sold in Japan from now on, so the Country of the Rising Sun and can dismiss the Z10 and Q10.

If we look at it from the point of view of business, this is a strategy that makes sense. A BlackBerry is doing very well with sales in the UK and Canada, but Japan has always been a market in which these devices were not very popular, reaching market shares of 5% at its peak a few years ago.

Given this, I think it is also likely that the company stop selling BlackBerry smartphones 10 in other countries if you think necessary.

See the new BlackBerry Z10

 

Yesterday I commented on the launch of the new BlackBerry platform (no longer called RIM), known as BlackBerry 10. In the same article made ​​mention of a new smartphone that will be put up for sale these days (although it is available in the UK), the BlackBerry Z10. This is the first full touch smartphone launched by BlackBerry.

The BlackBerry Z10 comes, as expected, in the category of high-end phones. The phone is equipped with a brilliant 4.2-inch LCD screen with HD resolution and a pixel density of 356 per inch. As you can see, the BlackBerry has chosen not to follow the steps in the competition, who are currently launching smartphones with screens of 5 inches and larger still.

As might be expected, the Z10 will run the new OS obviously BB10. Its specifications include a dual-core processor at 1.5GHz (apparently is a Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8960), has 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal memory, a microSD card slot and 1800mAh battery. If you wonder why the main chamber, it is 8 megapixels, while the front has a 2.0 megapixel sensor.

Regarding the price of the BlackBerry Z10, is about $ 700, or about 520 €.

Do you think that this type of BlackBerry phone will be able to cope with the iPhone and Android smartphones or fall back to them?
