BlackBerry Starts Offering Free BB10 Apps

"BlackBerry World has over 1,40,000 apps for BB10 OS. India, in particular, has been a robust growth market for us from an apps standpoint, so I am confident that we will see tremendous traction with these offers," the spokesperson said.

According to sources, 27-30% of its sales in India is of devices powered by the BB10 platform.

In India, the four BB10-powered devices are priced between Rs 22,000 and Rs 44,000.

The Canadian firm has been facing stiff competition from other smartphone makers like Apple and Samsung as sales have declined over the past few months. It is now placing big bets on apps, including taking its popular messaging service BBM to other operating systems, aimed at raking in additional revenue in the coming months.
