January 30 RIM will show two smartphones on the BlackBerry 10

The company RIM announced today that January 30, 2013 will hold an event dedicated to its new mobile platform BlackBerry 10, writes TechCrunch. The event will be held simultaneously in several locations around the world, and the first two smartphones on the BlackBerry 10 will be presented on it, along with information about when they will be available. One phone, as previously reported, will be with a touch screen, and the other with a hardware keyboard.



RIM has already shown the BlackBerry 10 platform itself at its developer conferences, press events, and other various conferences. In addition, the company was quite frank in terms of other steps to bring the BB10 to the market, including the recent announcement that devices on the BB10 are currently undergoing laboratory tests with 50 operators. In addition, the company recently announced that BB10 had achieved FIPS 140-2 US certification before deployment, which would allow new BlackBerry devices to be used in government without additional testing.



Those who have seen the BlackBerry 10 operating system say that it already looks like a platform that is almost ready for release. However, when it will be released is still unknown. Previously, analysts predicted that they would have to wait for March, but on January 30 we will know everything for sure.

The timing is very important here, since RIM had previously been criticized for showing and promising the company too much, but bringing products to the market with long delays. At the moment, it is already well known what to expect from the BB10 in terms of software, so all attention will be focused on the release date and price of the two devices.
