(Telecompaper) BlackBerry has announced a deal for a joint venture in Indonesia to produce BlackBerry phones. The newly formed joint venture BB Merah Putih will receive a licence to BlackBerry software and services for the production of handsets for the Indonesian market. While BlackBerry's strategy has shifted to software, Indonesia remains one of the few markets where its iconic handsets are still very popular. BB Merah Putih will have full access to the BlackBerry experience, which includes the trusted BlackBerry for Android secure software, for production of new devices in Indonesia. It is being led by local distributor Tiphone Mobile, an affiliate of operator Telekomunikasi Indonesia (Telkom).
