BlackBerry launches new Porsche Design, which costs almost £ 6000 - Tudocelular.com

It is not today that the BlackBerry bet in a market of high luxury and high value, with a strong partnership between the manufacturer of Canada adn design studio named after the famous German car manufacturer, Porsche. The newest BlackBerry Porsche Design is a Z10 inside with luxury design and price that borders the $ 2400 – or £ 5500 without taking into account taxes in Brazil.

Whoa, this device is really expensive and not be your next smartphone – unless you’re the king of the box and want a way to add more value to the turtleneck. With name P’9982, the smartphone is just one version of the Z10, but with a twist – huge – luxury and refinement, which will be sold exclusively for aritogs luxury Harrods store which is in the UK. The goal of maintaining the exclusivity is that the previous version of the device, called the P’9981 and had the Bold 9900′s hardware based, is that this was the best-selling tech item from any store – he even appeared in Brazil, exclusively by course and at a price that jumped the £ 6000.

difference P’9982 for Z10, beyond the outside, is up to 64 GB of internal memory and 16 GB not only as version-of-mob is currently sold. Moreover, we have the same 4.2-inch display with resolution of 1280 x 768 pixels, dual-core processor 1.5 GHz and 2 GB of RAM.

Even with such exclusivity and price, the device can still receive updates from BlackBerry OS, with the Q10, Q5, Z30 and Z10. If you are the king of the box, or any executive who wants to combine his Porsche with something that takes the name of the machine in the garage, just go to London and buy one – or wait for the launch in other markets, what will happen, but still we do not know which.

Pfizer recommends exchange of BlackBerry devices - SPC Pharma

Pfizer, the largest pharmaceutical company in the world, plans to dispose of the BlackBerry brand phones for fear that the company may go bankrupt or stop their services. In an internal memorandum, Pfizer instructed its employees that use brand appliances to buy an Apple phone or any model that runs the Android operating system, Google, advances the portal Estadão, citing Bloomberg.

When giving guidance, pharmaceutical cited the drop in market share from BlackBerry, company based in Waterloo, Canada, and noted that the company has even offered up for sale. “Due to the drop in sales, the company is in a volatile situation,” said Pfizer from its New York headquarters, the employees in a memo obtained by Bloomberg News.

“We recommend that users of BlackBerry phones use their devices and plan to migrate to a new model when the contract expires normal”.

After years of losing customers to Apple’s iPhone and devices that run on Android, the BlackBerry is finding it difficult to avoid the loss of users.

According to the British consultancy Juniper, the company had sold 3.7 million smartphones in the third quarter, achieving revenue of less than 1.6 billion dollars. In the same period, in 2010, sold 12 million BlackBerry handsets, with a turnover of 4.6 billion dollars.

The new BlackBerry 10 operating system, thought to initiate a resumption of the company in the market, received a lukewarm response from consumers, and the company had to write down nearly a billion dollars in unsold stocks in the last quarter.

Pfizer had 92 000 employees in its last annual statement of accounts to the authorities, making it the eighth largest employer among pharmaceutical companies based in the U.S. and Western Europe, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The effect of the recommendation of the company to its employees, therefore, must be felt by the brand of smartphones.

Contingency plans were developed for the case of the BlackBerry closes or fails to provide services, says Pfizer in a memo. “We never went to the media or talk about our service providers,” said Joan Campion, a spokeswoman for Pfizer.

Failure

An offer made in September to acquire BlackBerry for 4.7 billion dollars was withdrawn this month, causing a shakeup in the company. Instead of purchasing the company and close your capital, Fairfax, BlackBerry’s largest shareholder, and a group of investors landed billion in bonds to help restore the company’s cash.

With the change, the former President of Sybase John Chen, considered responsible for retrieving the enterprise software and services, has been chosen to lead the company in place of Thorsten Heins.

In a company blog post on November 13, Chen tried to reassure customers that the BlackBerry is not going away. “The BlackBerry has the financial strength for the long term,” he said. “I am confident that we will rebuild the BlackBerry for the benefit of all stakeholders”.
