BlackBerry today announced an offer for its low cost BlackBerry 10 phone, the Q5 QWERTY phone will be available for Rs. 19,990 under the New Year offer.
 
The phone was launched in July last year at Rs 24,990 and was available at different rates on different  portal and retail outlets.
 
The company said the offer was "in line with BlackBerry's commitment towards the Indian market and will help the brand to reach out to more potential customers". But there have been reports that the company was struggling to sell stocks of its new smartphones.
 
Sameer Bhatia, Director Distribution for BlackBerry India, said the New Year Bonanza aims at providing a powerful mobile device, with cutting edge BlackBerry 10 OS at an affordable price point to the consumers.

It will be interesting to see, if reduced cost can save the future of BlackBerry or not.
