Mar. 04 BlackBerry, BlackBerry Z10, General, News, Phones no comments

Just over a month after the BlackBerry Z10 launched, it has already started to receive price cuts, hinting that the device might not be doing as well as previously thought.

Fommy has a wide variety of quality BlackBerry accessories, including BlackBerry Z10 accessories.

Despite what BlackBerry has revealed regarding strong sales, the BlackBerry Z10 seems to be getting price cuts from various carriers across Europe which is thought to be a move to increase low sales. UK retailer, Carphone Warehouse has reduced their monthly fee from 36 euros per month to 29 euros per month with a 29 euro up-front cost which is a cut of about 160 euros. Vodafone has lowered their pricing of the BlackBerry Z10 to about 33 euros per month, which is a cut of about 72 euro in total. The BlackBerry Z10 will go on sale in the US later this month and the high pricetag has been scrutinized by critics.

While I was penning down my thoughts on this subject, I did really feel very sorry and helpless as I am one of the millions of BlackBerry users and also a Research in Motion fan at heart; though I will be fooling myself if I say that all is well at RIM, it’s anything but well. Today RIM came out with it’s quarterly results and they were nothing but unexciting.RIM reported revenues of $4.2 billion which is 19 percent down from the previous quarter. The GAAP net loss is $125 million while BlackBerry device shipments were down 21 percent to 11.1 million units. 500,000 PlayBook units were sold this quarter. Read more

BlackBerry PlayBook

Rejoice thou BlackBerry PlayBook owners ! RIM has given you all a reason to smile, RIM confirmed that PlayBook will get an update to BlackBerry 10, which currently runs OS 2.0. Rob Orr, Vice President of Product Management at Research in Motion recently said “We’ve said publicly a number of times that our first BB10 handset will be available towards the end of 2012, and that’s still firmly the case. At some point after the launch we’ll bring BB10 to our PlayBook, yes”.

The OS10 is expected to change the way BlackBerry devices are used, and bring about the much needed leap and refresh, we hope it does live upto the hype. But, certainly nice of RIM to think of the thousands of PlayBook owners and kept them as a priority even in their future plans.
