In India, the BlackBerry Style comes on Reliance Communications and Tata Indicom, Bawa added.
However, the company has not disclosed the price details of the phone. Bawa maintained that the price of BlackBerry Style would be announced at the time of launch.
This would also be BlackBerry’s first full QWERTY-enabled smartphone that runs on BlackBerry 6 operating system.
For BlackBerry, India is an important market with growing number of smartphone users in the country. “India is an important market for us and our key objective is to bring new products and services in India,” Bawa added.
