BlackBerry Making a Comeback
BlackBerry is in the market in its new avatar and with new products in tow.

The company reported encouraging sales volume for its new launched Z10 handset. The phones seem to be doing well in the UK and Canada, which are the core markets for BlackBerry. However, in order to be truly successful, the company would need to conquer the U.S. market as well. However, for that we will have to wait till mid-March. The U.S. market will prove to be the true test for BB10 devices.
While the company may rejoice in the performance of Z10, it should also keep in view the circumstances leading up to their launch. The launch of itsBB10 devices was rescheduled multiple times, pointing to internal inefficiencies. If BlackBerry wants to survive longer in a cut throat sector, it needs to sort out its execution issues. Under the leadership of its new CEO, the company is expected to mend its ways and is also expected to make a comeback in the highly competitive mobile market.
BlackBerry has come a long way from its heydays. While its time of being the undisputed leader in enterprise market is over, the company is now looking to capture consumer market. The company will have to be really nimble to survive in the ever-changing landscape of smartphone market. However, investors should still be cautious of making any long-term commitment to BlackBerry shares.
