At last, a new operating system. And a new name too. STEP forward, CrackBerry Kevin. Many months ago Kevin Michaluk vowed not to cut his hair until BlackBerry 10, the smartphone’s long-delayed new operating system, was launched. In New York on January 30th Mr Michaluk, who runs CrackBerry.com, a website devoted to the device, submitted himself to the scissors. He had had time to grow a handsome ponytail. Research In Motion (RIM), the Canadian company that makes the BlackBerry, also adopted a new style, renaming itself: BlackBerry. Why bother? Perhaps because only pedants ever called it R...

As a part of its quest for a 2013 turnaround, BlackBerry just announced that it will be airing its first-ever Super Bowl ad. Considering that Samsung — which actually ran a Blackberry bashing spot during the NFC championship game last week — already announced a Super Bowl ad, we can't help but notice Apple hasn't said anything about running one yet. The ad will be for BlackBerry 10, the new mobile operating system from RIM that'll power new smartphones and tablets. RIM will announce BlackBerry 10 and at least one new smartphone at a big press event on Jan. 30, just a few days befor... Read similar

RIM's Stock Is On Fire Today (RIMM)

www.businessinsider.com Jay Yarow 178 days ago

What's the opposite of a Black Friday sale? That's what's happening to RIM's stock today as it jumps as much as 13% this morning. Part of the jump has to do with a long time RIM skeptic changing his mind. Bloomberg BusinessWeek reports: "Kris Thompson, analyst with National Bank Financial, said the BlackBerry 10 line of smartphones will sell better than expected. The new phones, scheduled to go on sale in February, should post shipments of about 35.5 million units next fiscal year, up from a previous estimate of 31.6 million."

RIM is essentially betting its entire company on the success of its new mobile operating system, BlackBerry 10. It'll officially unveil BB10 at a big press event on January 30 on it's own hardware, but RIM may also be open to letting other hardware manufacturers use it too. In a recent interview with the German publication Die Welt that was passed around a lot this weekend, RIM CEO Thorsten Heins said he'd be open to licensing BB10 to other manufacturers. Here's what Heins said when asked about licensing BB10. Keep in mind this is a translated text using Google, so it's a little rough: Before ... Read similar

RIM Just Cleared A Big Hurdle For Its Next-Generation BlackBerry Phone (RIMM)

software developers kit

After months of delays, RIM is on the cusp of releasing its new smartphone operating system, BlackBerry 10. Today, the company announced it has finished the software developers kit (SDK) for BB10. It's an important milestone. The SDK is what developers use to make apps for phones. If BB10 has any hope of being successful enough to turn RIM around, it'll need the support of third-party developers to make great apps for the new operating system. No matter how good a phone is, it's tough to convince consumers to buy if the app ecosystem isn't there. RIM will formally unveil the ... Read similar

RIM Exploded Today, Up Nearly 14% (RIMM)

www.businessinsider.com Steve Kovach 178 days ago

RIM had a very, very good day today, closing up 13.65% at $11.66 per share. Why the big rally? Several analysts over the last week have said BlackBerry 10, the upcoming mobile operating system RIM is betting the company on, has the potential to sell well enough to keep the company afloat. BlackBerry 10 has already been delayed a few times –– it was supposed to launch before the 2012 holidays –– but it is now being tested by carriers for a Q1 2013 launch.

RIM Tanks Again (RIMM)

www.businessinsider.com Steve Kovach 147 days ago

RIM's most recent stock collapse continues. Markets closed early today because of Christmas eve. RIM was down 2.84%, closing at $10.60 a share. Why is it taking again? Although the company reported better-than-expected earnings last week, it introduced a new tiered pricing structure for its messaging services. CEO Thorsten Heins said the new structure could cause the company to lose some revenue when it starts selling phones running the new mobile operating system called BlackBerry 10. As a result, the stock tanked on Friday and today. Don't Missed: The first leaked photo of RIM's new Bl... Read similar

In addition to new smartphones, BlackBerry (formerly known as Research In Motion) also released new software to help businesses manage fleets of smartphones. But the new software could be too little, too late, writes IT consultant Michael Davis, president of External IT and a columnist for InformationWeek First, the good news. BlackBerry Enterprise Server 10 has two new features that enterprises should love. One feature makes BlackBerry devices super secure. BES 10 now has military-grade encryption.

Here's Another Look At RIM's Next BlackBerry With A Keyboard (RIMM)

www.businessinsider.com Kevin Smith 126 days ago

Crackberry has even more photos of the next BlackBerry phone that will come with a physical keyboard. The two photos shown here were spotted on Instagram and posted to CrackBerry's forums. The devices look a lot like the current BlackBerry Bold phone, but with a bigger touchscreen and the new BlackBerry 10 operating system that will officially launch on January 30. It will reportedly be called the BlackBerry X10, but it's still unclear whether or not RIM will release the phone at the same time as the touchscreen-only BlackBerry Z10.

RIM's 'Affordable' New BlackBerry Will Actually Cost You $250 (RIMM, DT)

www.businessinsider.com Steve Kovach 137 days ago

RIM and T-Mobile announced a new BlackBerry phone, the Curve 9315, today. Keep in mind that this isn't the next BlackBerry phone that's leaked several times over the last few weeks. That phone will run RIM's new operating system called BlackBerry 10 and we won't have full details on it until January 30. The Curve 9315 is a small update to the BlackBerry Curve that's been around for a long time now, but T-Mobile is marketing it as an affordable budget phone. But it's not really affordable. The new Curve costs $49.99 with a two-year contract, plus $10 per month for 20 months. That's a grand tota... Read similar

RIM Is Getting Demolished (RIMM)

Research In Motion has been down as much as 17.9% this morning. The stock recovered slightly, and now it's down 13% after last night's earnings report. This is the biggest one-day drop since June 29. Which, it just so happens, was the day after it reported earnings and announced 5,000 jobs would be cut. Last night's earnings report safely beat expectations on the top and bottom line. But on the earnings call, CEO Thorsten Heins put a scare in the market by saying the company's services revenue could be at risk. RIM generated $982 million in service fees, which is "high-margin revenue" revenue,... Read similar

LIVE: RIM BEATS! (RIMM)

www.businessinsider.com Jay Yarow 151 days ago

RIM's earnings are out and they look solid at first glance. The stock is halted so there's no way to get a read on the market's reaction. It starts trading again at 4:40 eastern. It did $2.73 billion in sales a 47% year over year drop, but it beats expectations of $2.66 billion. It had an adjusted EPS loss of $0.22, which is better than the $0.36 loss that was expected. RIM's gross margin was 30.4%, which beats expectations of 28.1%. It shipped 6.9 million BlackBerrys and 255,000 Playbook tablets. In the release, RIM says its CIO is going to retire. It warns that it plans to bump marketing for... Read similar

Here's What Everyone Is Getting Wrong About RIM Right Now (RIMM)

www.businessinsider.com Jay Yarow 150 days ago

RIM is getting obliterated this morning even though it beat analyst expectations last night. While there are many legitimate reasons to sell RIM's stock — like say, it's toast and has no chance of beating Apple, Google, or Microsoft with BlackBerry 10 — the reason that it's currently getting sold doesn't seem all that legit. After beating earnings last night, RIM's stock was up 6%. But on the earnings call CEO Thorsten Heins warned that RIM could lose some service fees revenue with the introduction of BlackBerry 10. This sent the stock into a tailspin. This morning it was off as mu... Read similar

Walt Mossberg's thoughts on the newly-announced BlackBerry 10 platform are up. Here are some highlights on how he broke it down: The operating system is a huge departure from previous BlackBerry software: "The new OS, which is the most important part of the product, isn't an evolution of the old BlackBerry platform. It is a clean break. Its user interface is so different that it will seem foreign to longtime BlackBerry users. And the first phone to use it, the Z10, looks much more like its rivals than like traditional BlackBerrys." It will offer 70,000 apps on launch, but it's missing some ... Read similar
