Why The Great Price Crash On BB Z10? by SPIFF(m): 5:44am On Sep 03, 2013 |
I checked the price of BB Z10 on Jumia.com yesterday. I was astonished that it had crashed to NGN65k. Few months back it was in the range of 100-110k. About 40k difference. If you compare with Galaxy S4 released around same time, it didn't drop that low. What could be responsible for the price crash? Am very curious. What came to my mind are: 1. Maybe the OS isn't good enough 2. The unfavorable data plan from network provider 3. Nigeria are tired of BB. Gurus, I need your contribution because I was still planning picking one before. |

Company going down. Likely to be sold off by next summer or winter. Handset is a closed liability unlike others. |

These phone manufacturers are thieves! N110K now to N65K The N65K doesn't signify loses.. NO! It signifies the higher level of criminality placed on the initial price.. Why should a phone selling at the rate of N100K drop to a lower price? Would the manufacturers return the N45K to the initial buyers? These phone makers (esp samsung and BB) are fond of this s¡lly act.. I don't blame them anyway, I blame those who worship phones just becasue its 'expensive' To them: The higher the money, The greater the phone.. 7 Likes |

joeydozzy: Well maybe I was wrong for blaming the "die hard ignorant 'techie' folks" who believes a combination of metallic chips and tiny strips is worth N120,000. ...and to you Mr I-blame-poverty, you believe anyone who wouldn't splash his hard earn money on a N120,000 phone is poor? I nor blame you sha, I blame the Alaba boys who wouldn't stop embarrasing this Nation with their imported sammy, BB used and re-used phones from u.s, uk, syria, kuwait, and even Togo.. Atleast majority of you die hard fans can belong.. I can bet anything on the fact that; 80% of sammy and BB users in Nigeria got their phones from a used retailer... Poor Kids, who wouldn't wanna cut their clothes according to their sizes.. smh.. 5 Likes |

According to some tech news reports, the Q10 has a very low sale rate and demand that some carriers in the US have stopped using the brand for their network cos of losses BB should better switch to android or windows since the BB OS is not that open for developers...and they should also reduce the exorbitant prizes of their phones |

acidosis™: Ignorant? Now I know you are putting blame on those techie folks for the phone you use IPhone 5 is released at $1000 starting price, 3m people have preordered. Hell, even they wait and sleep in front of Apple HQ. S3, s4 are released at $700 and 10m have preordered These are the people that go for these phones cos they believe the phone is worth the price. Some even believe that they're underpriced I can't remember them coming to Nl to ask for Acidosis opinion acidosis™: I never said that People have different views. You just pointed out the ones with #120 000 are foolish acidosis™: You do realize a used Sammy is more expensive than... let's say new Gionee, Xiaomi, ZTE, Tecno What if they bought these new OEMS, what size of clothes are they cutting? At least they bought the phone they wanted with cost limits unlike you Like I said, I blame poverty I'm out 2 Likes |

Acidosis, I like u, u are on point. Indeed the reduced price shows how much we are being robbed. Too bad they are still going to continue doing that bcoz of the likes that encourage it by buying them bcoz it shows how rich they are or want people to believe they are. Wish Xiaomi can bring their company to Nigeria and sell at the same price they sell in China. |

I've read carefully all comments buh not even one could tell d op y d prices of new fones are initially high...well let me make this clear. ...modern day devices are not sold based on d components that were uses to make it but. ..d prices are based on d new ideas. ..iinnovations and research works....guess u guys don't know d amount of money these companies spend to produce a new phone. ..the amount of research work. .and also d work hours spent until a particular product becomes a success. ..those who pay d initial money. ..help d company mk more profit as well as cover d cost of research n producprod of d first unit ...also technology is not just d bringing together of components to form a device. ..its rather the ideas...those who work for these companies are braniacs and are paid heavily. ..the problem with our people is that our people is semi primitive. ..we've not yet come to terms with the fact dt knowledge information rules d world. ..until we start rewarding knowledge immensely. ..we will still continue to think primitively..and act so...if u think the money or price tag of these phones are lugubriously high....tell me one company in the whole of ur country that can successfully produce the likes of galaxy note2, s3 s4 or the just announced note3...I'm tired of typing joor. ..nigeria never start |
