Can BlackBerry Z10 speak Thai?

BlackBerry confirmed on Friday it will not sell its new smartphones in Japan because the operating system cannot yet adapt to the Japanese language.

The company refused to comment on sales in other countries which do not use the English alphabet, lumping Thailand and other such countries as a "non-critical market" for the Canadian phone trying to reinvent itself.

The "BB" was the dominant smartphone in Thailand even three years ago. Apple and Android dominate today's market.

    By excluding Asian countries they are excluding +- 50% of the world market. China will become the biggest smartphone buyers this year (overtaking the US). BB thus wants to be a big fish in a small pond which according to me is the wrong attitude.

    They speak German so they can pretend to be German in Thailand.
