RIM sets a launch date for BlackBerry 10

Research in Motion has, at very long last, announced it will launch BlackBerry 10 on January 30, an entire year later than the company originally planned. RIM believes the new line of smartphones, with their sweet keyboards and multitasking capabilities, will be the innovation that saves the company after a disastrous year (though some analysts remain skeptical). However, don’t make plans to line up at stores just yet. At the January debut, RIM will show off two of the new phones, give information on pricing and announce the actual release date, which will likely be in the following month or two. That’s right: RIM has just announced the date when they will announce the date when consumers can actually buy a phone. We guess they’re really, really excited. [Bloomberg]
