Sub-$200 BlackBerry phone coming in April from Foxconn |
February 25, 2014
The first BlackBerry phone produced by China’s Foxconn will debut in April in Indonesia, the CEO of the phone maker said Tuesday.The handset, which has the code name “Jakarta,” is the result of a BlackBerry deal with Foxconn that seeks to shift design and production of low-end phones outside of the company.“It’s going to be a very, very attractive phone for the market,” said John Chen, during a news conference at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. “Somewhere in April, it will come out in Indonesia. It will be under $200 in retail price.”“When I first got into the phone business, they told me it takes 9 to 12 months to get a phone up and going. In less than three months the phone is up and qualified and we are now working on distribution,” he said.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
