However will both devices sell the way Blackberry intends? Well according to Stockhouse.com, they are claiming that according to the rumors, it seems the Blackberry’s yet-to-be-released Q10 has managed to land itself 2 million pre-orders from none other than the Chinese government!
The Chinese Bureau of Economic and Cultural Development has signed an intent to purchase 2 million Blackberry Q10 handsets according to filials with FYD Enterprises in Macau.
FYD (Fugyudum) Enterprises owns and operates a chain of for-profit educational faculties in nearby Guangdong and Yudumtu provinces as part of the mainland government’s recent economic liberalization initiatives in specified zones within these 2 provinces.
A source close to the company says the Q10′s will be distributed to the Faculties of Mobile Hacking and Cyber Warfare.
