I came across this video on the official BlackBerry youtube channel. The video hi-lights how useful BlackBerry has become to the people living in Indonesia. Both genders including children rely on their BlackBerry everyday for various reasons. From students in the classroom, athletes in training, to just keeping up with work and staying in touch with family and friends, Indonesians have definitely adopted the BlackBerry way of life. Their favorite feature? You guessed it, the unmatchable BlackBerry Messenger.
Why BlackBerry in Indonesia? Same reason why BlackBerry fever is spreading everywhere else, connectivity and communication. Indonesians grasp the importance of communication, and BBM is unmatched in that area. Why not the iPhone, or Droid? Simple. Most already own a computer, psp, Nintendo DS. Another gaming device? nahhhh… what we need is communication, Â says erwinlay, an Indonesian BlackBerry user. Hit the More button to check out the video >>
Also, while shopping around on the Indonesian mobile market, one generalization can be assessed as to why there is a BlackBery surge in Indonesia despite the high appetite for communication. Fact is ,the iPhone in Indonesia is very expensive when compared to the cost of a BlackBerry smartphone. In Indonesia, a BlackBerry will run you about $250 whereas an iPhone will set you back $800. With a good price tag and a good solid device that can bring your conversation alive, the BlackBerry way of life exists in Indonesia today.
