Foxconn phone will cost under $200 says John Chen

If you are wondering just how affordable the first built by Foxconn device for BlackBerry will cost, under $200! John Chen is making his rounds in Vegas dishing out as many details as possible. Consumers wanted something more affordable opposed to the current high-end BlackBerry 10 devices excluding the BlackBerry Q5, they will be getting one.

He pretty much confirmed our recent story that the first Foxconn device nicknamed BlackBerry Jakarta Phone reportedly will not feature a physical keyboard, that is the device we could expect to see at an affordable price tag under $200. The device will be a low-end BlackBerry 10 device for emerging markets.

“For emerging markets, BlackBerry will let Foxconn take a bigger role. But we will do the next set of cool phones.”
-John Chen

We should be expecting a high-end keyboard device, built this year as well.
