Advisor.ca | RIM unveils new smartphones, changes name to BlackBerry
Research In Motion has launched its new line of smartphones, and has changed its corporate name to BlackBerry, the moniker of its globally recognized smartphones.
The newly unveiled BlackBerry Z10 smartphone — a touchscreen model — will be available in Canada next Tuesday.
The BlackBerry Q10, which will have a physical keyboard, will follow at a later date — a move that was signalled last year by the company.
The company made the announcement Wednesday during a splashy event in Manhattan to usher in the new BlackBerry 10 devices, which were originally due for release last year.
