Who really cares how RIM is doing in India anyway because here in the US, oh wait I'm in the US and I love my BlackBerry.
OK thought I'd pretend to start something there, anyway its good that RIM is expanding into other countries across the globe and focusing more on emerging markets. Most people that follow the BlackBerry development are so focused on the up and coming BB10 that it's easy to forget to appreciate that BB7 is very good at what it does and is much more viable of a solution in countries without carrier subsidized pricing. RIM can be very successful here and will carry them through to the BB10 release.
It's a very smart thing for them to do. You don't keep trying to sell ice to people in the arctic, but if you go to the desert soon the money will pour in. If you aren't making sales in a targeted market, target another until you have a product that will fare better.
Personally, I love my 9930 and it serves me very well. I really think that BB10 will be a viable comeback for RIM and BlackBerry in countries like the US, until then sell the current product where it will sell best. Get in the door every place that you can. It will pave the way to the future.

Very happy to see research in motion exploding in emerging markets in different parts of the world!
Appreciate what blackberry OS 7 has to offer, it's really good! My 9900 is what I need, use and adore as a great communications device. I am glad I hate it. I would be a hobbit if I didn't get it!

All i say is they are picking up and this is a good thing as i love blackberry. Also the pricing policy (at least european markets is way higher than in the us....this is a problem for RIM, when you change markets environments you have to adopt your marketing mix and position locally if you hope to get segments of the market and they fail to do that while many of their competitors do....I am sorry for my post but your input, apart from been out of the can, can be to the edge of crossing the offensive line.Who really cares how RIM is doing in India anyway because here in the US, oh wait I'm in the US and I love my BlackBerry.
