BlackBerry Z3 coming to India, expected price Rs 11k

[imkaush]

Blackberry to launch a 5" screen mid-range phone in a couple of weeks.

Other than the usual specs, the battery looks quite promising.

But will this increase Blackberry users in India? ( IMO, Probably not )

Specs and Price both are quite good

^ Agreed, it would surely appeal to business users looking for a blackberry device on a budget.

But the unavailability of new apps and games will limit its appeal to non-business users.

Only problem is BB is too late now

Read somewhere that it can run Android apps

All android APKs can be sideloaded to BB10 OS.

Majority of them will work but not all

IMHO, This is the best phone under 13k bracket. @Doremon Take it.

I m getting it on 3rd. Already prebooked it on 25th.
And every android apps works smoothly on bb10 platform. I have used z10 and z30. Currently using q10.
BB has repeated pricing mistake again. 12k is sweet spot for this phone. Nevertheless had demo at store. screen quality is exceptional.

I think Amazon app store is going to be included as a part of the next OS upgrade.
Being able to sideload apps via Amazon and Playstore surely makes this a good option.

 

[cisco_tech]

Yes in 10.3 Amazon preinstalled. didnt see the icon in demo phone.

 

[Doremon]

Is BB still good office phone. I used basic BB curve & only using few application-FB & Map.

 

[cisco_tech]

Legacy os can't be compared to 10. Get demo at store and see it. Definitely best communication tool.
