If BlackBerry can ramp up internal storage for P'9982 to 64GB, why not same for other BB10 phones?
- They could i guess but with a SD card slot you can add money for cheap. BB would charge more for the memory amounts like other manufactures. google chargers $50 more for 16 GBs and I think apple charges $100 for each 16gb. BUT both the nexus and iphone do not have SD slots so people will pay it. I did for both my nexus 5's that I bought and it was worth the $50 upgrade on each. I wouldnt pay for the upgrade from BB device though since I have plenty of SD cards that i purchased for far less than $50 even
Bottom line I dont think it makes BB more sales by making a move like this so there is no need to do itSuperfly_FR and TGR1 like this.11-21-13 02:07 PMLike 2 - The only problem with what you said is that, that are a lot apps these days that require over 500MB. So 16GB internal storage is no longer effective for many gamers out there. I was thinking that least BlackBerry ramps up the internal storage to 32GB with the same option for the expandable Micro SD card, up to 64GB, without changing the retail price of the phones.
BlackBerry can't afford to be offering same things as the competitors and some how expect to miraculously catch up with the competition, don't you agree?

I am sure BB can do it and keep the price the same as memory isnt that much really but its not going to magically increase sales by 50% either.Superfly_FR likes this.11-22-13 10:57 AMLike 1

Software or Services was where they needed to be different.... too bad they weren't able to do it for consumers.11-22-13 01:08 PMLike 0 - It's just easier to have just one storage size so it's easier to keep track of inventory. Think of the iphone 5S three colors and three different storage sizes, thats nine different variants of the same phone to build, ship and keep track of. As for going with a 16 over a 32 or 64 GB storage that is likely due to cost.

Only problem is once I formatted it on the phone, Windows can't recognize it.

Remember this is to be an ultra-low-budget phone, that has to compete with $70 dual-core, 512MB RAM, 4.2" screen Android Jelly Bean phones, so expect it to have a low-end camera on the back, probably no front camera, a small, lower-quality screen at 1280x720 resolution, and a small amount of storage. And no HDMI output. They need to get the price down as low as possible for those markets.
Jakarta isn't intended for mature markets, and I doubt you'd want one, but in emerging markets, the expectations are lower because the price-points have to be lower for most people to be able to afford them.12-31-13 11:07 PMLike 0 - Jakarta is more likely to sport 8 GB of storage.

BlackBerry wouldn't sell a phone that will not take full advantage of BlackBerry 10's capabilities.

I would be a little surprised not to see FFC but they have to cut costs somewhere so FFC might be one of those, BBM video might not work but you still have BBM voice. I dont know how healthy the cell network is over there to even use BBM videoFrankIAm likes this.12-31-13 11:36 PMLike 1
- I believe the Z30 was meant to have more storage. What I think is that they committed to buying a certain number of flash drives for the Z10/Q10 and when the devices didn't sell they had to use the same flash storage in the Z30. I wouldn't be surprised if the Jakarta model also has 16GB.

I would think that Foxconn's "economies of scale" will have a significant impact on the cost of production of the phone.01-01-14 08:35 AMLike 0 - I believe the Z30 was meant to have more storage.

- Correct me if I am wrong, the local Indonesia network recently expended fair bit. The international is based on satellite link. Bandwidth and delay might got limitation if video is widely used. Not sure what is the current state of local telconetwork capacity and scalability of the platform. Please share your knowledge of the local infrastructure. Thx.

It seems that the Indonesian telco is being proactive about the sustenance of its capacity and scalability.
