BlackBerry will ship one BB7 based device this year: report

BlackBerry CEO Thorsten Heins has confirmed to the company’s investors that BlackBerry will launch at least one new device on the BB7 platform. BB7 is the older BlackBerry platform which was launched by the company in August 2011.

Thorsten Heins’ statement comes just after leaks of BB7 device named BlackBerry 9720. The photos of the device which is believed to be named BB 9720 were leaked on a Thai website, Thaibbclub.

According to the leaks the smartphone seems to support 3G, has a camera and flash LED, and a Curve keypad with shortcuts. The report adds the device seems to have an internal memory of only 105.8 MB.

According to BizTech2 editor Ivor Soans, who wrote on _ Firstpost ,_the company is all set to launch the Q5 in India on 16 July and the price for the device is likely to be around Rs 25,000. The price of the budget-range Q5 might be disappointing to some BlackBerry users who were hoping to switch from BB 7 platform to the new BB 10 OS as it is still in the 25k and above range.

The company has launched the Q10 and the Z10 devices in India both of which run on the BlackBerry 10 platform. The Q10 is priced at Rs 44,990 while the Z10 was launched at 43,490 but is retailing for a lower price of Rs 42,490 on sites like Flipkart, while it is available for Rs 39,599 on Amazon India.
