[BlackBerry 7 will be supported until December 2015] - Xpert Mobile

According to the site Phone Arena , of the 4.3 million phones sold by BlackBerry in the last quarter, 3.2 million were equipped with old BlackBerry OS 7. This was not well regarded by senior positions, since BB has pushed hard to promote the BlackBerry 10.

Thus, according to the source, one of the managers of BlackBerry India, Sunil Lalwani said that the oldest (and most used) mobile operating system will support the company until December 2015. After this period, in 2016, the company will focus all their efforts on devices with BlackBerry 10, which according to the executive, is increasing demand from consumers, thanks a cut in the prices of handsets like BB Z10, eg .

“In the last quarter, 60% of our revenue came from services and software – that generate higher profit margins. That’s why, this year, the services and software will be the predominant focus of BlackBerry devices and will be an attraction through them “ Lalwani said. He further states that this is the strategy to keep the company profitable throughout the year and that all involved are optimistic about the future of BlackBerry.
