All my BBM friends are jumping ship to other phones. By the time my contract ends in a year and I'm thinking of buying a new phone, I won't have any BBM friends.

[beproud]

Watched all the videos and I gotta say I'm very excited. Just bought the playbook 4g/lte, and I'm overall impressed.

@beproud , awesome to hear that.

I hope you get the 2.1 update soon on the 4g playbook.

Release Date set for January 30th, 2013.

Research In Motion Ltd plans to introduce its new line of BlackBerry 10 smartphones on Jan. 30, the company said on Monday, giving investors a measure of confidence the long-awaited devices are approaching the finish line.

The Waterloo, Ontario-based company, a one-time pioneer in the smartphone industry, is betting its future on the new line of products, which will be powered by its new BlackBerry 10 operating system.

RIM has struggled over the last two years as its devices lost ground to snazzier and faster smartphones such as Apple Inc’s iPhone and Samsung Electronics Co Ltd’s Galaxy line.

In a brief statement, RIM said the twice-delayed devices will be launched simultaneously in multiple countries. It will introduce two BlackBerry 10 smartphones, along with the platform that powers them at the event.

“While it is clearly an uphill battle for RIM given the recent launch of the iPhone 5 device and the aggressive marketing dollars being pushed toward Windows 8, we view it as a modest positive that a date is now officially set for the launch of the new BB10 devices,” Wells Fargo analyst Jennifer Fritzsche wrote in a note to clients.

RIM has said it plans initially to roll-out touchscreen devices. Phones with the mini QWERTY keyboards that many long-time BlackBerry users rave about will come a few weeks later, while lower-end versions of both devices will be launched later in the year.

The company did not say when the devices will be available in stores. That will be announced at the event.

Evercore Partners analyst Mark McKechnie believes the BB 10 devices will be available within two to four weeks of the launch event, but some such as Peter Misek of Jefferies expect the devices to go on sale only in March.

RIM’s Nasdaq-listed shares were up 3.2% at $8.82 in late afternoon trading on Monday. Its Toronto-listed shares rose nearly 3% to $8.81.

ALL OR NOTHING

RIM says its new devices will be faster and smoother and have a large catalog of applications that are now crucial to the success of any new line of smartphones.

Last week, the new platform and devices won U.S. government security clearance, potentially allowing both U.S. and Canadian government agencies to deploy the new smartphones as soon as they are available.

These were the first BlackBerry products to win Federal Information Processing Standard 140-2 certifications ahead of their introduction, the company said.

RIM began carrier tests on the BB10 devices last month. The Canadian company hopes they will help it win back some of the market share it lost to the iPhone and devices that run on Google Inc’s Android operating system.

RIM’s stock has fallen more than 90% from a peak of over $148 in 2008. But at Friday’s close, the shares were up about 20% over the last two months on signs that the BlackBerry 10 devices are finally likely to make it to market.

The phone looks whackkk! Don't get me wrong, it must be hard to design something for everyone to like but that touch screen phone looks like a piece of junk. Except for the 9900 look alike phone.

I'm not sold on Blackberry anymore and I've been a blackberry customer for over 7yrs now. I think its time to switch to the android phones now.

They haven't even released the designs of the devices yet. The one's you are seeing online are just dev phones for them to test apps with. Photo's will probably be either leaked or released closer to launch date JAN 30 2013.
Give RIM a chance.

We're getting closer! Loving the textured back. Just hope they put a highlight or two on the front.

Looks good. really wish I didn't sell RIM-T so early. I'm totally onboard regardless of reviews, getting a BB10 upon launch.

[E.D.C.5]

i hate it when i get high hopes and in the end, i get disappointed.

we shall soon find out if it really deserves my attention.

[c3m]

Nice design but not a fan of the Blackberry branding in the front

Yah I was hoping the last quarterly would bring it down to mid 5's so I could get in there, but no one expected them to gain subscribers. And it's doubled since then.

If the OS does well I think a lot of their current subscribers will be upgrading. Even if only 5% initially upgrade (4 million units) at $200 a pop, that's $800 million in revenue.
