Whatsapp for Blackberry 10 to release in March

WhatsApp for Blackberry 10 expected to be available from March

Blackberry recently announced their newest innovation 'Blackberry 10' based smartphones.The recent launch of their Blackberry Z10 Smartphone left many wondering for two reasons one was because of its steep price and the other was because of the unavailability of Whatsapp.That's not all a few days ago even instagram confirmed that they would not be offering a native app for Smartphones.Neeraj Arora from the WhatsApp team however put the speculations to rest confirming the Blackberry 10 based smartphones will be getting the WhatsApp application by March 2013

WhatsApp has further confirmed that they will be launching a native application for the smartphones.It will be interesting to see how the application gels with Blackberry's very own  messenger.

Until now the Blackberry messenger needed a data plan to work on but in the Blackberry 10 based smartphones it has been confirmed that the messenger would also work via Wifi as well which is a big releif

The Blackberry 10 needs to succeed for the developers to get back on track to compete with the big guns such as Apple and Samsung.The phone was recently launched and the prices are as per below

Blackberry Z10 Price:

• India - 43,490 Rupees
• Canada - $149 with a two year contract or an unlocked version would be available for $549.
• USA - $999 Contract-Free expected to be available soon.

Im not very sure about the Blackberry Z10 price in countries such as UK and Sri Lanka and the prices mentioned above are just estimates and not final.For exact pricing information please check with your local dealer.

With the Blackberry Z10 price being so steep it would have been nice if the WhatsApp for Blackberry 10 was ready before the release of the smartphone.
