A Telling Sign of BlackBerry (BBRY) Z10 Demand?

March 22, 2013 2:57 PM
Or, maybe BlackBerry (BBRY) users just don't use Twitter.

According to a message posted from the official BlackBerry account, about 143 people are either planning to buy or already purchased a new BB10-equipped Z10 handset in the U.S.

(That's actually better than earlier estimates.)

Keep in mind, Twitter has millions upon millions of users, though its not clear how many are using the system at any one time.

Analyst said that the U.S. would be a tough market for BlackBerry to crack back into given the widespread adaptation to Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) iOS and Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) Android. Given the recent rise over the last few months, investors are hoping for a change of heart.

Shares are down 6.7 percent Friday, as mentioned earlier.
