According to BlackBerry, Optiemus will be allowed to “design, manufacture, sell, promote, and support” BlackBerry-branded smartphones not just in India, but also in other countries such as Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Bangladesh.
In addition to supporting the Indian Government’s “Make in India” initiative by creating local manufacturing and job opportunities, our partnership with Optiemus represents an important milestone in our strategy to put ‘the smart in the phone.
In the meantime, TCL is expected to introduce the Mercury, the last BlackBerry smartphone made by the Canadian company. The announcement will go live on February 25, but the handset might not hit the shelves until late March.
