BlackBerry was known for the BEST keyboard on any smartphone, ever and the keys to latest BlackBerry sales are in its keyboard note latest analyst reports. It can also be a golden opportunity for BlackBerry.
Anaylyst Kevin Smithen of Macquarie Capital noted that the BlackBerry Q10 could be a better seller than the BlackBerry z10.
He reported that the BlackBerry Q10 will be liked by BlackBerry's 13.4 million enterprise customers who have been waiting for a device with a keyboard.
Smithen calculated that BlackBerry will ship 4.3 million BlackBerries in May that will decline to 2.7 million August which may improve because Verizon Wireless is optimistic on the Q10 due to " pent-up enterprise demand for the QWERTY keyboard product”.
Previously analysts were concerned that the BlackBerry Z10 sales were slowing.
Meanwhile, the BlackBerry Q10 has been gilded with 24ct gold by Goldgenie and selling for around $2500 in the U.K. It was called the fastest-selling customized smartphone by the company.
