BlackBerry Z3 selling like famous brand in Indonesia!

BlackBerry publishes its latest handset, the BlackBerry Z3, Indonesia. The phone formerly known as Code Jakarta, under $ 200 is already a triumph in the country, with three Indonesian carriers’ reports they have sold their units pre-order.

BlackBerry established that the phone is built only for Indonesia and even comes with a unique set of car BBM which include space characters “Punakawan”. Indonesian customers will also be able to join local BBM and get updates from their favorite brands, communities, and more channels.

I like the idea of ​​merging the big screen with physical keyboard, but is it the best way to achieve this? I’m not so sure. Again, I must try Windermere before reaching any conclusions.

To make an easier transition for this form factor, BlackBerry ensures that the keyboard can also detect touch input and, we assume, gestures.

Specs wise, this model appears with a HD q 5 inches (540 x 960 pixels) screen, 1.2Ghz CPU dual-core processing, 1.5GB of RAM, 5 megapixel rear camera and 1.1 megapixel face, 8 GB of in-house storage and 2500 mAh. It runs BlackBerry OS 10, while also counting a number of pre-installed applications like BBM with a particular set of BBM car with local characters “Punakawan”.

With the Z3, BlackBerry hopes to recover market share, he disappeared in the country. At one point, it dominates 40% of the smartphone market in Indonesia, and today this percentage decreased to only 4% after the launch of BlackBerry Z10, which appeared to be too expensive for local customers. Subscribers increased to most Android phones by Samsung.

Foxconn built the Z3 is affordable and offers a good set of specifications. Hopefully this will help get its BlackBerry handset business to his feet.

We’ll see if this model will allow the company under pressure returns to profitability.
