BlackBerry 10 Launch for January 30th

The anticipated Blackberry 10 has finally been given a release date. The Blackberry 10 will officially launch on the 30th of January 2013 (RIM has confirmed). The Canadian base company has been going down hill at a fast rate. The company has been faced with many criticisms and skepticism around BlackBerry 10 and in recent weeks analysts had suggested that the new platform wouldn't launch until March 2013.

“In building BlackBerry 10, we set out to create a truly unique mobile computing experience that constantly adapts to your needs. Our team has been working tirelessly to bring our customers innovative features combined with a best in class browser, a rich application ecosystem, and cutting-edge multimedia capabilities. All of this will be integrated into a user experience – the BlackBerry Flow – that is unlike any smartphone on the market today. Thanks to our strong partnerships with global carriers and a growing ecosystem of developers, we believe our customers will have the best experience possible with BlackBerry 10. We are looking forward to getting BlackBerry 10 in the hands of our customers around the world” Thorsten Heins, CEO, RIM

At the end of October, RIM announced that carriers had begun testing the OS. They have also been soaking up its potential with BlackBerry 10, confirming last week that the platform had already been granted government-spec security clearance.
