Your retort is worthy of a reply, if not to achieve anything but to bring some light to your blatant ignorance.

That being said, I fear your ignorance is the size of a mountain so educating you is mission impossible...

ouchhhhh

I swear, after i read the guy's comments, i just lost all hope, the ignorance is on his forehead! This type is unteachable! It makes me undastnd wy teachers in nigeria flog d hell out of som students..

walcolm:


I would have not bothered to revisit this discussion but for your opening statement in bold above

The definition of RRP....recommended retail price is the price at which an item is sold to the final consumer...as far as I know, Jumia, Konga, slot et al distribute devices so they won't get the devices at the price an end user will get it.

They will get at distributor prices and are free to add their margin...in regulated markets like NA and Europe, consumer protection agencies can ensure consumers are not extorted...not the case in a jungle like nigeria

So I still repeat, the 110k set by marketers in Nigeria has nothing to do with John Chen

The classic is not a flagship hardware wise but it's a premium device.

$449 at the time the device was released and listed at 110k on Jumia comes to just 75k at 165/$.

Maybe Chen is also responsible for the devaluation of the Naira?

It is apparent you don't understand my explanation given earlier...I would have preferred that you asked for clarification...

I never implied that Chen has a DIRECT impact on the final retail price of the Classic in Nigeria. What I implied was that the singular act of setting a RRP of $449 for a mid-range device aimed primarily at business people is a fail.

When you set a high RRP for such a device what do you expect after shocks like currency devaluation and continental policies (customs e.t.c.) affect the final retail price?

Or do you mean to say that Microsoft is doing something magical to bring down the RRP of their own mid-range devices?

Take for example the Lumia brand which we can say isn't as pervasive as Blackberry in many continents. What Microsoft is doing is to fix the RRP for mid-range devices as low as possible such that it can get sold in droves. That is a strategy.

Our argument that the Classic is a premium device is completely false, please. It is a MID RANGE device. If it was premium, it would have a chassis made of toughened aluminium and the innards would sport top-of-the-line specs (13MP back camera, over 2.0 GHz processing speed and 3-4Gb RAM are now the norm for premium devices. You can check into this...)

I repeat and stand to be corrected, Blackberry is struggling to fly of the shelves. I repeated this because it appears you missed that part of my earlier argument even though this is common knowledge both in the tech world and with consumers. I wouldn't even go as far as doing a poll 'cos I know the outcome...

I'm not a Blackberry basher (wording mine); far from it, I am a super fan of the BBOS ahead of even Android OS. However, I am no blind fan, and I wouldn't shy away from saying the truth when it's meant to be said...

The pricing of the Classic is wrong, just as the pricing of the Z10 at initial launch...Trust me, you don't need a soothsayer to tell that the RRP of the Classic will go south before the end of the year...not because of massive sales but 'cos of minimal sales...

your opinion or mine on how much the phone should sell is irrelevant and has no effect on anything....and the price of any device goes south with time as a natural course of its life cycle so you're not exactly shedding any wisdoms there

BlackBerry; the company has never been known to price their devices like Tecno and its not the business of the company to worry about currency shocks in Nigeria or anywhere else for that matter

if BB is struggling to fly off the shelf, how come its over priced here in Nigeria? if no one is buying how are the kongas of this world selling at the exploitative price they're selling it? that is just one example so consider yourself corrected

Good evening, good people. My Z30 fell into water this afternoon,it was not completely immerse though, become I quickly pulled it out. I quickly cleaned it and continued using it.After about 3hours,it started showing 'sim card not detected.' on removing the back cover and sim,I discovered the sim slot was wet. I immediately placed the phone in a bowl of raw rice on getting home this evening,the sim card has refused to stick inside the sim slot. What ever it is that holds it inside the sim slot has gone haywire . Please, what a could be the problem,House?, can it be fixed? Every other thing works fine.

When the installation nears its end ; I got a pop that the installation wasn't successful that bblink needs windows blah blah or later to install (not sure I got the text as it was). Then, I tried updating from the phone....but it says the file is too large to be downloaded that I should connect wifi. no wifi....i ain't got it nomore. house, Pls; is there some other way to update my OS?! (Autoloader uses bblink)
