RIM plans to lower the price of BlackBerry 7  devices.

It happens when any mobile maker launches a new model every time and RIM is not the exception. In January 30th, 2013 when the new Blackberry 10 smartphones will be unveiled all the before models prices will get lower. According to Digitimes RIM plans to lower the price of BlackBerry 7  devices  to expand market share.

About Blackberry 10:

Smartphone maker Research in Motion (RIM) plans to introduce BlackBerry 10 to expand market share. According to Thorsten Heins, president and CEO of RIM, there have been some 150 telecom carriers testing BlackBerry 10. In addition, there are more than 120 enterprises testing the new BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10, said Heins. The supply chain is also optimistic about orders for the new product and Taiwan-based suppliers such as Wistron, Silitech, and Ichia are likely to benefit.

Handset supply chain sources stated that RIM has been making changes according to trends in the smartphone market by establishing the new BlackBerry 10 platform to accommodate touch features. In addition, RIM has been adjusting service fees and no longer bundles products with plans, hence it is likely to attract more non-enterprise users.

Despite the fact that RIM has postponed the launch date for BlackBerry 10 twice and has been seeing net losses for three consecutive quarters, revenues and shipments in 2012 have been relatively stable, compared to firms such as Nokia. RIM continues to report cash inflow and a stable financial status.

Handset makers noted that RIM has a strong customer base in emerging markets such as Southeast Asia, Africa and Latin America to make up for the falling market share in Europe and the US.

The specs aren't really all that different in comparison to the Dev Alpha units that are already in the hands of over 7,000 developers.

A developer comments(edyb):

Specs are not indicative of performance!

I am a developer and have a Dev Alpha and run multiple apps and games, multi-tasking, and the thing FLIES!!! QNX is the reason! It is highly efficient and built from the ground up!

Glad to be helping out the Blackberry Team! Go RIM Go!

I would say it flies about as fast as most phones out there, but due to things like Peek, Flow, bezel Gestures like Playbook, Keyboard prediction, BlackBerry Hub and other BB10 user-interface design, it is more efficient and easy to navigate around and get stuff done!

I have no trouble using it with 1 hand and even though it is all touch, the virtual keyboard is great.... And my current phone is Torch 9810, and last one was Curve 8900, so I can safely say people may not mind the move so much to all touch, but there will still be a keyboard option coming.

And the app selection is just amazing... Compared to OS 7 there is no comparison, it is just huge and growing each day. You will have no problem getting lost with the overwhelming selection, you will not get bored. And dev alpha isn't even the final OS... We are still missing a few things, RIM is keeping a few surprises until the big event in January!

It is a big leap in my experience from Os7 to 10, deserves the jump in number!

The "BlackBerry L-Series" we metioned before is a compilation of devices (London, Lisbon and Laguna) .

BlackBerry 10 L Series all-touch smartphone leaks on hands on video.

WorldWide Tech & Science. Francisco De Jesùs.

BlackBerry 10 L Series all-touch smartphone  leaks on hands on video.

A comparison with the somewhat bulkier Dev Alpha B device and  the iPhone 5, a quick run through of the BB10 OS itself and a look at the removable back and  a replaceable battery.

Translated  from Vietnanis to English: 

Fortunately for the evening I had the opportunity to holding the handset has not been the launch of the BlackBerry , the L-Series. Machine design is quite nice due to no longer be placed in a plastic frame as the Dev Alpha A / B again. 

In addition, the L-Series was almost complete, both hardware and software. Perfect good quality and full functionality of the BB10 OS we've ever known, not locked or limited to a certain function, including making phone calls or texting.configuration information almost no official due to the present time RIM has not yet been referred to us. 

What we can see on the L-Series is lightweight, smaller size Dev Alpha B a little, just hand.

Screen quality is quite good, very smooth and nice font, 1280x768 resolution with Dev Alpha B.

The front of the glass cover almost the entire front and stretched out to take two edges of the screen makes us feel bigger. terms of ports and port location, it is just like the the current Dev Alpha, including micro HDMI and micro USB on the left side, a 3.5mm audio port on the top edge, the power button on the top edge and 2 volume control keys on the right side. 

The keyboard is a bit difficult to press as it is slightly sunk compared to the side of the machine. Regarding the quality of finishing, I can say the L-Series held its already almost perfect, not longer a pure form , could this be the final test version of RIM before they introduce BlackBerry 10 to 30/01 next year.

Although made ​​of plastic, very solid body, no creaking joints and connectors on the camera body is made ​​very carefully. The back cover of the machine can be removed so you can change it easily (batteries LS1, like Dev Alpha B). The back cover of the machine is made ​​of plastic, similar to the body, it is quite flexible and the NFC chip affixed. 

Adding a point to make the L-Series is more complete than the Dev Alpha is that it can normal calling and texting. This is a big difference compared to the previous Dev Alpha we have ever known.

 I have tried to remove the SIM Viettel and called a SIM Mobi success, no trouble at all, the machine can also send and receive SMS messages, connect to BIS service, up Internet 3G delicious, in general it is not like a complete smartphone.

 Even the software in the machine fully functional, not limited as before although the
BB version 10 that the L-Series is running is still a beta version. However, the beta should react slightly slower and not touch sensitive, sometimes hanging a place to restart the machine, the new normal is, hope that this error will not appear in the version of BB 10 officially.

RIM launched the BB Dev Alpha C for BB10 Qwerty devices.

WorldWide Tech & Science. Francisco De Jesùs.

RIM launched the BB Dev Alpha C for BB10 Qwerty devices.

From the BlackBerry Blog:

We like to think that we broke the mold of a developer relations program when we started our BlackBerry® 10 Dev Alpha testing device program last May at BlackBerry 10 Jam in Orlando. We’ve given out over 7,500 BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha testing devices to developers around the world at BlackBerry 10 Jam World Tours, BlackBerry 10 Enterprise Jams, and here at BlackBerry Jam Asia too.

As you know, there are BlackBerry 10 smartphones coming in Q1 2013 – an all-touch model similar to the BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha, and a BlackBerry 10 smartphone with our industry-defining BlackBerry QWERTY keyboard.

Today we announced the next phase of the BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha program – the BlackBerry Dev Alpha C. It is a testing device for developers so that you can adjust, debug, and test your BlackBerry 10 applications to get ready for the launch of the BlackBerry 10 QWERTY device next year.

We’re only producing a limited number of these testing devices, and they will be reserved on a priority list for developers who have demonstrated that they are building apps for BlackBerry 10.

Distribution will be limited to developers who submit two or more applications; these developers will be given priority seeding for the BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha C. These developers will be determined on the following point system:

• 50 points for ported Android™ applications
• 250 points for all other applications (Native, BlackBerry® WebWorks™, Adobe® AIR®)
• 1500 points for Built For BlackBerry certified application
• BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha A/B recipients start with 200 points
• BlackBerry Elite Members start with 200 points

The BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha C offer will run from December 1, 2012 through February 5, 2013. The details on the program can be found here, and keep following @BlackBerryDev for more info.

RIM to launch BB10 smartphones in Jan 30 with business, gaming and social apps.

RIM has already said it plans business focused apps from the likes of Cisco WebEx, Box, SAP and Blackboard, as well as music and movie apps like TuneIn, Nobex and Popcornflix and gaming apps from developers like Gameloft, Halfbrick and Paw Print Games.

In an interview with Reuters on Wednesday, RIM Chief Executive Thorsten Heins has said social networks such as LinkedIn, Foursquare, Twitter and Facebook will all have apps for BB10 at launch. But he declined to name any of the other big name apps that RIM will have on board come launch day.

"Allow me to talk to you about this on January 30, otherwise I'm losing a lot of thunder," he said.

BlackBerry 10 devices are set for launch on January 30, and targeting applications to customers in various regions.

BlackBerry 10 now being tested by 50+ carriers worldwide.Pentagon will keep carrying BB devices.

BlackBerry 10 now being tested by 50+ carriers worldwide. Pentagon will keep carrying BB devices.

RIM CEO Thorsten Heins announced in a statement on Wednesday that handsets running the new OS were now being tested by more than 50 carriers worldwide.

BlackBerry 10 passes critical milestone - enters carrier lab testing.

Thorsten Heins, President and CEO, Research In Motion, said:

I’m very pleased to confirm that we have passed a critical milestone in the development of our brand new mobile computing platform, BlackBerry 10. In the last week, BlackBerry 10 achieved Lab Entry with more than 50 carriers – a key step in our preparedness for the launch of BlackBerry 10 in the first quarter of 2013. We made this commitment during our recent results conference call and we have delivered. This process will continue in the coming months as more carriers around the world formally evaluate the devices and our brand new software.

I have spent the last several weeks on the road visiting with carrier partners around the world to show them the BlackBerry 10 platform and to share with them our plans for launch. Their response has been tremendous. They are excited about the prospect of launching BlackBerry 10 in their markets. Our respective teams are now engaged on the technical and commercial preparation of the launch of BlackBerry 10 and the lab entry is an important milestone in that context.

The hard work will not stop here as we build towards launch. Our developer teams are continuing to generate momentum to bring a wealth of applications to BlackBerry 10, our enterprise teams have started to present BlackBerry 10 devices and services to our business customers, and our engineers are fully mobilized to ensure that BlackBerry 10 launches flawlessly in the first quarter of 2013.

In other news involving the mobile company, the Pentagon made clear this week that it would carry on supporting “large numbers” of BlackBerry handsets despite going ahead with plans to allow the US military to use other devices such as the iPhone.

“The Defense Information Systems Agency is managing an enterprise email capability that continues to support large numbers of RIM devices,” a spokesman told Reuters this week. A number of government agencies and businesses have said in the last year they would be issuing staff with iOS or Android devices, ending long-standing contracts with BlackBerry. While the Pentagon also appears to be relaxing its association with RIM, things are so serious at the Canadian company that the defense agency’s announcement that it’s not switching entirely to rival devices will actually be perceived as good news by many.

The BlackBerry was once the phone of choice for many agencies and firms thanks largely to its strong security features. However, security on rival handsets such as Apple’s iPhone and a number of Android-powered devices has improved over time, offering an alternative to the BlackBerry.
