Chapter 2838 Zhao Changan's RIM6230pro

Qi Xidong looked at Zhao Changan in surprise and astonishment. He could no longer maintain the expressionless look on his face. It was obvious that what Zhao Changan said was beyond his expectations.

Zhao Changan also noticed the change in Qi Xidong's expression and asked in shock: "Brother Qi, you don't really think I want to do this, do you?"

Qi Xidong's old face turned red and he looked a little embarrassed when asked this question.

"What direction are you talking about?"

Doug, as a technical guy, didn't have Qi Xidong's delicate mind. He said impatiently, "RIM6230 has completed the dual-module inlay as you requested. Isn't it enough to just manufacture it and put it on the market as soon as possible? And BlackBerry6710, as the director of the mobile phone manufacturing plant, this phone is definitely a very high-quality phone. As an iterative phone of RIM6230, it is very suitable.

The biggest problem now is that even if we determine the upstream suppliers at the fastest speed and build new production lines in the factory, it will take until the second half of next year for mass production to be realized. So I think the new model of RIM6230 has been finalized, and the next step is to focus on determining the compatible form factor of BlackBerry6710 and strive to realize mass production in October next year. "

Mike and Qiao Hang nodded repeatedly after hearing Doug's words. As technicians, they knew better the excellence and power of the built-in functions of BlackBerry 6710.

In addition to being compatible with the GSM network, the network frequency can also be compatible with the more advanced second-generation GPRS network, LCD grayscale screen 160×160 pixels, talk time 165 minutes, standby time 75 hours, WAP Internet access, QWERTY keyboard, clock calendar calculator, built-in vibration, optional ringtones, graphic menu, built-in antenna, group SMS, hands-free calling, support Push Mail EFR STK service, Java extension, USB transmission, personal assistant, multimedia entertainment, WAP browser, RAM2MB, ROM16MB, -

这么多的功能被压缩进这121×77×18mm尺寸，138cm3体积里面。

  No matter how you look at it, it is an excellent mobile phone!

Hearing Doug's words, as well as the affirmative expressions on Mike and Qiao Hang's faces, Qi Xidong said without waiting for Zhao Changan to speak, "Why did Mike and I always disagree on the BlackBerry 6710 and why was I unwilling to make formal preparations for mass production of the BlackBerry 6710? It's because I think that since we already have the RIM 6230, the emergence of the BlackBerry 6710 is superfluous!"

"As far as I know, you have been emphasizing in the R&D center that we cannot just cling to a big tree for three years without letting go, saying that RIM6230 is already in its third year and there is an urgent need for a new model iteration."

Doug immediately refuted Qi Xidong: "Although the BlackBerry 6710 has some overlap in functions with the RIM 6230, this overlap is to prove the success of the previous generation of mobile phones. BlackBerry 6710 cannot be rejected for this reason."

"But when I say the iteration of new models, I mean that I hope there will be a new model iteration similar to the Nokia 3210 phenomenon, not the current BlackBerry 6710."

Qi Xidong looked at Doug and said, "If you can guarantee that BlackBerry 6710 can sell 1.6 million units, then just pretend I didn't say anything."

Doug's face changed after hearing this, and he suppressed his anger and said, "I can't guarantee that, and even if we run at full capacity next year, RIM's mobile phone production will only be 40 units. If you can guarantee that you can launch a model in three years, or even five years, and achieve global sales of 1.6 million units, no, just one percent of 1.6 million, or 160 million units, and don't need an iteration that costs more than yuan, but more than yuan, then I will have nothing but admiration for you."

Doug grew up in Canada, and when talking about money, he is used to counting in Canadian dollars.

The more than 4800 yuan he mentioned is roughly equivalent to RMB.

If this price was placed in China, it would definitely be a high-end mid-range phone. However, the per capita income here is relatively high, and compared with the average purchasing power in daily life, it is roughly equivalent to a domestic thousand-yuan phone.

The condition proposed by Doug was quite reasonable and not difficult or extreme.

Mike nodded his head at Doug's words and said to Zhao Changan and Qi Xidong, "Why is the world so highly accepting of our BlackBerry phones? It is because they value its high efficiency, security and timeliness. That is why the BlackBerry 6710 has inherited the features. If we abandon the features of RIM 6230, will people lose their respect for the core features of BlackBerry?"

Doug and Mike's words also made sense, which was also the reason why Qi Xidong had been in a dilemma for some time. Zhao Changan did not expect that Mike and Doug had such a special liking for the BlackBerry6710, which had not yet been finalized. Even so, he could not arbitrarily put this newly developed model into the cold palace regardless of Mike and Doug's opinions.

"In that case, we will launch the improved version of RIM6230+, BlackBerry6710, and the upgraded and enhanced version of RIM6230professional as the finalized models for next year."

If Zhao Changan had a choice, he would suspend or even permanently freeze the BlackBerry6710 project and instead create two RIM6230 versions.

RIM6230+ and RIM6230professional.

It can even be said that RIM6230professional and RIM6230+ are actually two completely different models.

RIM6230+ inherits and continues the main function design of RIM6230, plus dual email channels, and some minor technical upgrades.

The RIM6230professional has a color screen, camera, North American version of the GG client, and mobile games.

Zhao Changan would ask for all of them to be embedded.

In addition to replacing recalled mobile phones, the purchase of a new phone will definitely no longer be at the original price calculated based on the original price.

The reason for using the RIM6230 name is to send RIM6230professional to those fanatical RIM6230 enthusiasts.

As for the strong pursuit of RIM6230 by this group of enthusiasts now, rather than deceiving themselves by saying that they like this model whose entertainment value and appearance are far inferior to the best-selling models in the world now, it is better to say that they are just mindless star-chasers.

In fact, if they really want to use RIM6230, compared with Nokia and Motorola, these cool appearances, color screens, camera functions, and self-compiled ringtones - RIM6230 is only a short-lived face, and it won't take long for them to get tired of and abandon it.

Zhao Changan calculated that as long as they could produce a popular RIM6230professional and achieve a shipment volume of more than 6230 million units within the next three years, even if they took out units to replace the recalled RIM, it would still be very worthwhile.

Through this seemingly foolish behavior, Zhao Changan hopes to make RIM6230professional a hot product all over the world and make it a phenomenal classic phone like Nokia 3210 two years ago.

For those RIM6230 users who are accustomed to the traditional ones, as well as those in the political and business circles who need secure communication and do not care about or need those fancy functions, they can continue to choose the improved version of RIM6230+.

After the sumptuous dinner, everyone drank coffee together. Zhao Changan took great effort to explain his true intentions to everyone.

Mike, Doug and Qiao Hang were all confused when they heard this.

A new model of mobile phone was named RIM6230professional in order to give it away almost for free to the replacement users.

  What's the difference between this and naming a peacock a pheasant and then selling the peacock at the price of a pheasant?
