Can the Z3 save BlackBerry?

Johannesburg - BlackBerry use in South Africa is falling rapidly as the market embraces Android smartphones from Samsung, Sony, Huawei, Alcatel, LG and HTC, as well as the networks' own variations.

Now, BlackBerry is trying to win back the youth market with the Z3, which may just give the brand another chance in developing markets. But can the Z3 save BlackBerry?

Arthur Goldstuck interviews BlackBerry Africa MD Yuvi Moodley on the prospects of the new handset and the BlackBerry business in general, and looks at the Z3 in the context of other BlackBerry devices.
