BlackBerry today announces a strategic partnership agreement for five years with Foxconn, global manufacturer of electronic products and components that also caters to Apple. Initially the partnership will focus on launching a smartphone to Indonesia and other fast growing markets in early 2014. Do not know if Brazil is among them.
“Through the partnership, the BlackBerry address fast growing markets leveraging the efficiency and reach of Foxconn, which allow us to compete more effectively,” says John Chen, executive chairman and CEO of BlackBerry, which soured in the last quarter loss $ 1 billion and resigned 4500.
