BlackBerry won't sell its new phones in Japan for now


NEW YORK: BlackBerry said on Thursday it has no immediate plans to offer its BlackBerry 10 line in Japan; the company's move suggests that it sees little chance of Japan emerging as a major market for its new devices at this time.

The company, which changed its name from Research In Motion following the launch of the line last week, is attempting to win back consumers with its new touch-screen device dubbed the Z10 and a model called the Q10, with a more traditional keyboard.
