BlackBerry is currently offering two BB10 operating system smartphones Z10 and Q10 in India. BlackBerry Recently Launched its Q10 in India for 44,990 which makes it their most expensive offering in India, but it seems that BlackBerry would want this to cost much lower than Q10 and we expect the price of this smartphone to be around Rs. 25,000.
