BlackBerry has announced its plans for a new smartphone, BlackBerry Q5, based on BlackBerry 10.1 operating system. It would be aimed at the growing markets for smartphones such as India, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America and China. BlackBerry Q5 would be available in black, white and pink colours and would be available there in market by July 2013. BlackBerry Q5 price in India and other markets is not available at present but this device by Blackberry is for the budget consumers.

The mid-ranged smartphone segment has witnessed many grand launches in the first quarter of this year and soon another soldier from BlackBerry will join the battalion. BlackBerry handsets are well-known for their QWERTY keypad that was missing from the flagship droid of the company, BlackBerry Z10. So to provide the experience of QWERTY keypad along with the touch-enabled screen, the company is rumored to be working upon a cheaper variant of Z10 and Q10. According to the trusted sources Blackberry R10 will soon be joining its reasonably priced R-series smartphones. The leaked images of this rumored handset ensure that it will have red, black and white color variants with a QWERTY keyboard and touchscreen display. The forthcoming device is likely to have the BlackBerry's latest BB10 operating system.

Every buzz in the gadget-town in today’s world seems to be linked with three heavy Operating Systems named: Android, Mac and Windows. Somewhere in the sudden outburst of these three giants, RIM (Research In Motion) has lost its flamboyance, and it aims to get exactly that panache back with the launch of the much rumoured BlackBerry 10 powered tablet, which will be arriving this year. During the recent BlackBerry Z10 unveiling in Mumbai, head of developer relations Asia Pacific at Blackberry confirmed the news, backing it up with the statement that “the BB10 tablet is definitely coming later this year.”

The never ending wait seems to be about to over now, as BlackBerry India is launching their flagship BlackBerry 10 operating system powered smartphone, BlackBerry Z10, today at an expected price of Rs. 40,000 or above. This smartphone was officially unveiled on 30th January 2013 at an press event of BlackBerry with its another sibling, BlackBerry Q10, when the company also introduced its new operating system, BlackBerry 10, and changed its name from RIM to BlackBerry worldwide. Since that day, Indian BlackBerry lovers have been waiting for with bated breaths. Though the price, which was earlier surmised to be around INR 40,000, now appears to be dicey as the trusted sources are saying that the company might tag their flagship droid, Z10, above the guesstimated price. The company has already made it clear that the new BlackBerry 10 operated smartphones will have access to more than 70,000 applications, which include Skype, Amazon Kindle, WhatsApp, SAP and Angry Birds.

It seems that the next rival for Samsung in India after Apple is going to be BlackBerry, which is still the favourite of a huge part of population. The recently held BlackBerry 10 operating system introduction event at Las Vegas on 31st January, 2013, brought many surprise packages, which included the revelation of BlackBerry Q10 and Z10 smartphones based on the BB10 OS and the announcement of Alicia Keys as the new Global Creative Director of BlackBerry.

As per the promise, RIM, now officially BlackBerry, has finally decided to launch their highly talked about flagship smartphone, BlackBerry Z10, in India on 25th February 2013. Though the pricing is still a puzzle, the expected price will be under Rs. 40,000. Recently, BlackBerry held an event in New York City where it introduced its latest BlackBerry 10 operating system and also unveiled two smartphones, BlackBerry Q10 and Z10, running on the same platform. At the same event, the company also renamed itself as BlackBerry worldwide.

Delhi sure is overjoyed! First Delhi revved up with Red Bull X-Fighters Jams and now it is getting to see BlackBerry jam! Today, Delhi is going to visit The BlackBerry 10 Jam World Tour. One of its kinds, this event is the single effort from RIM to create hype for the coming BlackBerry 10 platform and create interest in the consumers for the same. The company will show the audience the functioning of BlackBerry 10, along with guiding them through the capabilities of the platform, the upcoming Generation Z apps and also the ways developers can utilize the new platform by BlackBerry. The timing of this tour has been quite apt, as Blackberry has already announced and is pretty doing rounds in news for its new platform, BlackBerry 10. However, the application has been delayed to as late as 2013 now. Since the delay has left the developers quite dismayed, and also casted some darkness for RIM as a company.

The company is mum on the availability of BlackBerry Curve 9320 in the Indian market which is assumed to be announced at the time of its release.
