A recent BGR report cites insider knowledge that the BlackBerry Z10 handset will will sold for under $200. The report makes no mention of pricing details for the QWERTY-equipped BlackBerry 10 smartphone which is referred to as the BlackBerry X10.
In Europe several observers have said that the X10 will not be able to take full advantage of BlackBerry 10 apps since the SDK to optimise apps for its smaller screen won’t release until after launch.
A total of six BlackBerry 10 handsets are expected to launch this year.
