Canadian
firm Blackberry entered the market in 1999 with a bang, providing features like
wireless e-mails which were of high relevance to business-class. But
subsequently iPhone entered the market and blackberry suffered a huge blow. iPhone
included much more impressive features and showed that a smartphone can do much
more than just make / receive calls and receive / compose mails. Then with the
launch of Android smartphones, blackberry faced tremendous competition, losing
most of its share in the market.

With
not so successful story of blackberry passport that can be bought at half its
launch price today; it is a challenge for blackberry to prove that its upcoming
products could be sustainable in generating revenue streams. Despite it,
Blackberry has managed to release an unconventional device each year and there
is still potential in their business. One such smartphone that blackberry is
releasing in 2014 is blackberry classic a.k.a blackberry Q20. Expected release
date is in November or later this year.
6-7
years back blackberry had a good brand value. People used to keep blackberry phone
as a status symbol but after that Samsung and iPhone have made great progress.
Although blackberry has tried to regain its value but due to high competition and
high rates of blackberry phones it hasn't been possible. Hope that this new
flagship of blackberry will help to increase their market shares.

use android OS to attract users. Even many apps for Blackberry are available in
Google play store. So Blackberry has to think about it.

quality. It has also addressed concerns of its users of passport that the
phablet was difficult to operate with one hand. The phone is thinner. It is
time to test the waters and see how Blackberry fares.
