This is what RIM India Managing Director Sunil Dutt had to say about the price cuts
“RIM as a brand has moved from just an enterprise device to as a more consumer device. Be it our services or the product, we have seen a strong uptake by the youth and therefore, to get the devices into more users, we are cutting the prices and this move will help us tap a wider base of the large market that India is,”
It’s not surprising that the Bold series does not feature in the price cut as the 9900 is doing pretty well for the company. Any one picking up one of those handsets ?
