BlackBerry Deals in India
BlackBerry smartphones have long been synonymous to professional phones. When these pitch black beauties with wide button like keys and a soft responsive trackball first appeared in the market, they stood out. Today there are many BlackBerry clones in the market but the original still stands a class apart – a symbol of excellence. A phone that’s designed for those who like to carry a perfect combination of elegance, high tech, and high security. A delicious device that’s not just eye candy but a true smartphone that can rival a netbook in performance and ease of use. With BlackBerry US sales on the tough road, Research in Motion (RIM) is eyeing international market for its growth. And India is a big part of company’s growth strategy. We have witnessed a surge in BlackBerry models in India recently. With a huge population in India that’s tossing their old handsets off and buying new ones BlackBerry has a great chance of making up for loss of ground in United States. All its models from BlackBerry Bold, BlackBerry Curve, BlackBerry Tour, and BlackBerry 8830 World Mobile are hot with consumers in India. In a market where jazzy home grown (desi) mobile brands are posing threat to international names, BlackBerry and iPhone are holding well as they cater to higher end segment. BlackBerry in particular is aggressively marketing its handsets by offering those at very attractive prices. Consumers who earlier could not think of buying a BlackBerry because it was price high are now grabbing the opportunity. One area that BlackBerry struggled with was apps. Its competitors, be it Apple iPhone or Google Android phones, have got thousands of apps that are a boost phone’s capabilities. BlackBerry has been slow in that race and that has hurt its sales and perceived value. The company realizes that gap and has been trying hard to strengthen its application store. But beating Apple iPhone or Google Android phones is an uphill task. The reality is that most people are happy with the core apps that come with the phone. BlackBerry does offer apps such as GPS, Maps, Email, Instant Messaging, Calendar, and some popular games. And you can download more business apps, fun apps, social networking apps, and games from BlackBerry app world. So there is really not much that you miss except for the hype around apps. Another area that became a bit of roadblock for BlackBerry’s rise was fun features. Latest mobiles, including low end, offer fun features such as camera, video recording, FM Radio, social networking apps, and games. Since BlackBerry’s original market was professionals and business users, RIM didn’t focus enough on the fun aspect of the device. But its recent models have more than compensated for fun and entertainment features. The company is under tremendous pressure from investors and analysts to improve its sales so we can expect it to go on aggressive marketing in markets like India. Which implies more BlackBerry Deals for shoppers in India. It’s a great time to buy your Black Berry beauty. More on BlackBerry Phones
