RIM’s BlackBerry 10 launch is just a few weeks away, and we’ve seen a few leaks here and there, tidbits really, of what is to come. In spite of the fact that all the major carriers in the U.S. as well as in Canada have confirmed their support for BB10, RIM has kept its mouth shut as far as the release dates are concerned. Of course, spilling the beans is the last thing that a company would do while preparing for a bigwig. But according to a leaked image passed around various new outlets, RIM’s first BB10 device could arrive in Canada as early as February 28th. (more…)

Now if you can’t wait until then, you might be interested to learn that the folks at RapidBerry have managed to get their hands on what looks like promotional materials used to push the Blackberry 10 platform to consumers and retailers alike.

Heads up bloggers, we know that there are times when you have a cool idea you want to share on your blog but don’t have a computer with you, and sometimes it’s because of these situations that leads to us losing what could have been a great story. Thanks to smartphones and tablets, blogging on the go is possible and if you were planning on picking up a Blackberry 10 device, you might be interested to learn that a preview of the WordPress app for Blackberry 10 has been released on video (thanks to Simon at Crackberry), giving us a glimpse at what we might be able to expect. For the most part the app will do the most basic blogging functions, such as creating a new post, add tags, photos and the likes, and it even makes use of the Blackberry 10 cascades UI to top it off. Awhile back RIM mentioned that they planned to have 70,000 apps for Blackberry 10 at launch, and it looks like WordPress will be one of the big names – at least as far as bloggers are concerned. In any case check out the video above to see WordPress in action on Blackberry 10.

The new BlackBerry 10 looks very good. It may be too late to save RIM, but it’s certainly not too little. It’s loaded with great stuff. In fact, its keyboard is so terrific that I wish every manufacturer had it. Here’s why: More »

[CES 2013] We’ve been talking about RIM’s upcoming BlackBerry 10 event going on in New York City later this month as the results of the event will either make or break the company seeing how iOS and Android have become more popular than ever these days. We know we should expect the BlackBerry Z10 as well as the BlackBerry X10, but it looks like RIM won’t be stopping at releasing just two BlackBerry 10 devices.

During an interview with Fierce Wireless, CMO Frank Boulben said we should expect at least six BlackBerry 10 phones to be released in 2013, two of which will be announced at this month’s BlackBerry 10 event. The six phones will be aimed to hit at a range of price points as RIM currently has no exclusive carrier agreements for any of them at this time. Funny Boulben should say that as we caught a leak of a BlackBerry Z10 with a Verizon branding just this morning. Maybe the Verizon-branded Z10 was a dummy phone that was produced in case Verizon gave RIM a call to secure a deal for it. Or, maybe Boulben isn’t telling the whole truth with that last statement. We guess we’ll find out on January 30.
