Blackberry Comeback

These phones will be released with Blackberry 10 OS pre-installed, and boast very high spec hardware too. For instance the Z10 is being crammed with a dual-core 1.5GHz CPU, 2GB of RAM, 8-megapixel main camera, additional 2 megapixel forward-facing camera, 16GB of onboard storage, as well as a 4.2 inch display.
The Z10 is currently retailing for £479 in the UK, which ends up being just more than R6 700.00, keeping in mind that phones are more expensive here, this should give you a good estimate as to the value of the phone.
With the competition being more intense than ever, Blackberry truly has their work cut out for them, with Android and iOS devices dominating 106% of profits in the handheld market last quarter.
This and the releases to come are the first wind in Blackberry's sails for a long time, a once doomed company makes its retort, I am eager to see their results.
