Aircel has confirmed that it will launch BlackBerry 10 in India when the smartphones are available in India, which should be a few weeks after the global launch scheduled for January 30.
We contacted various Indian telecom operators on their plans to launch BlackBerry 10 (BB10) in India and while Aircel has confirmed that it will launch BlackBerry 10, Vodafone has said it will make an announcement only after the global launch; Airtel and Tata Docomo had not reverted at the time of writing this.
Idea and Reliance GSM were the only operators who said they have no plans to launch BlackBerry 10 devices. Given Vodafone's strong ties with BlackBerry globally, it would be very unlikely that it would not launch BlackBerry 10.
Operator support is critical for any user who wants to use BlackBerry smartphones because in the absence of a BlackBerry data plan, a BlackBerry smartphone can be used only for voice calls and text messages. Unlike Android smartphones that need only a regular data package, BlackBerry smartphones require a dedicated BlackBerry data plan--BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS) for consumers and BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) for organisations.
