Issue of smartphones on the BlackBerry 10 transferred to next year

Bad news for fans of the Canadian production of RIM (if any still remain). Smartphones on the latest BlackBerry OS 10 will not at the end of this year, as expected, but only in the following. If you're lucky - in the first quarter. RIM has officially informed about this the other day in the announcement of financial results of the quarter.

What happens to the RIM, except as a complete collapse is not called. Since mid-2008 exchange rate of its stock lost 95% of the cost. That is, in fact, the company has depreciated almost completely. In the last quarter, RIM has lost a net loss of over half a billion dollars ($ 518 million). After the news of the shares immediately fell another 14%. In the near future planned layoffs for 5,000 people.

The only glimmer of hope that remains for RIM - is the latest smartphones in the BlackBerry system 10, based on the architecture of QNX. In RIM announced that they appear only in the first quarter of 2013. First, they were expected later this year, which was also too late, according to many experts. Watch out for iPhone 5, and many new products on the Jelly Bean, and RIM will be even harder to win back the backlog.

But there is a small spoon of honey: in the last quarter of the number of BlackBerry users increased slightly. It grew in all regions except North America, and now stands at 78 million, but whether it is to somehow help the perishing Titanic telephone industry - that is the question.
