BlackBerry searching high and low in India, Indonesia
NEW DELHI/JAKARTA — Research in Motion must chart a tough course in its two key emerging markets of India and Indonesia: quickly launch cheaper handsets to woo lower-end subscribers while restoring its tattered brand among the countries’ status-conscious.
The company, which is rebranding itself BlackBerry after its best-known smartphone, has won millions of followers in these two Asian countries, mostly by selling cheaper handsets and offering service packages as low as US$2 (S$2.40) a month. So it’s unlikely that the Z10 model introduced last week, which operators in India expect to sell for around US$750, will appeal to the users it must reach if it is to build market share.
