A look at the biggest BlackBerry store in pictures
Yesterday saw the opening of the biggest BlackBerry store in Asia. It opened in Jakarta, Indonesia and with came a handful of promotional offers to mark the event, including 50% off BlackBerry accessories and Rp 1,000,000 discount voucher towards a second handset to the first 200 customers.
This isn't the first store to open in Indonesia and I don't think it will be the last. We already know that BlackBerry is hugely popular in Indonesia, with our very own CrackBerry Kevin witnessing this with his very own eyes but it would be nice to see BlackBerry stores pop up in other parts of the world. The UK maybe, where BlackBerry is #1. More pictures on the BlackBerry store in Jakarta can be found below.

Beats the pants off of the BlackBerry stores in the airport here in Atlanta.....

We need one in Winnipeg ASAP and right across from the Apple store in the Polo Park mall! Along with a giant live Playbook display in front of the store so everyone can play with it as they walk by!
Kevin make it happen!!

A BlackBerry store would have a PlayBook display with PlayBook that are actually set up properly. And it wouldn't have some pimple face kid trying to steer every customer to an Android phone.

I'd love to work in a shop like this. I'd take a pay cut to do something I enjoy in a heartbeat!

We need that store in the city.

I live here in Dallas, TX and BB has headquarters here or a building, but I have never seen a BB store and did not really know they existed until seeing them on CB, and that is the problem with BB, I know all us addicts are loyal to the brand we like and love but if we can't market something then no one wins not the consumer looking for something new or the maker who can't push stuff off the shelves
Why can't we get one of these in every major market and at least somewhere I can go when I have troubles instead of calling all over God's creation to speak to someone who may or may not be local and yes I would loooooove to work in a BB store even if it is just part-time

They aren't owned or run by RIM though. Someone's put up their own money for these, and seems to be paying off.

RIM is smart to support them. They should franchise them :)

I've never even seen a strictly Blackberry store!
Maxey05 Feb 26, 2012 at 11:51 pm
That store is like a seed planted. Now we just have to wait for it to grow worldwide! That would definitely boost sales to be able to go into an only Blackberry Store!

Blackberry need to put a store next to every Starbucks in the US
kleinhev Feb 27, 2012 at 10:04 am
BlackBerry is similarly popular in Thailand where you get prepaid plans only for BB Messenger. The world is not only about the US...

I was there! Accompanying a friend buying a 64 Gb Playbook and 9790. Bought myself two cases for my Playbook and 9900 for 50% off price :) Love the store. The accesories seems cheaper compared to other stores, even before the discount.
The store is side by side to an Apple Store ;)
Joe257 Feb 27, 2012 at 12:22 pm
Good that RIM can have their store besides an Apple store, but you can bet that Apple will do ANYTHING to win the sales battle.

BlackBerry stores should to Connecticut in the US I would be there everyday buying something.
