BlackBerry will not sell $50 smartphones

"BlackBerry CEO Thorsten Heins has said this weekend that while the company is creating less expensive devices to compete in the emerging markets, it will not challenge Asian rivals that are pricing phones as low as $50"

Hmm? So your're not going to sell cellphones in the $50 to at most $60 dollar range? Then stop lying. Your're not going to be making 'less expensive devices.' That price point that you said that you 'won't sell at' is what 'less expensive' is..anything over $70 is just expensive, not 'less expensive.'

$300 to $600 is what I'd call a ripoff for a phone, way too expensive. $200 dollar range is a bit better, but not by much. $100 range is the most that I'd shell out for a cellphone, which is still a bit expensive, and $50 and under is alright pricing I'd say.

Why would they sell a phone for 50 ? To go bankrupt ?
