Research in Motion is relying solely on its BlackBerry 10 strategy to make a comeback in the smartphone market. Now with just days left for unveiling of the new BlackBerry 10 smartphones, Research in Motion has launched a dedicated page for all news and updates about the upcoming OS. The page can be accessed here.
This page is a one stop shop to keep interested customers and media persons updated with new developments happening on the BlackBerry 10 front. The page shows a glimpse of what BlackBerry 10 OS will look like. There is also a 14 minute demo video of the new OS that was showcased during the BlackBerry Jam sessions. The video shows how the new features like BlackBerry Flow and BlackBerry Hub will function. There is also an option to register for updates available on this page.

Apart from this, RIM has also teased the audience with a brand new photo of its forthcoming L-Series smartphone. Over the past few months, there have been plenty of images and videos being posted of the L-Series smartphone but this is first teaser picture that the Canadian smartphone maker has posted for its forthcoming smartphone. The photo shows a black textured smartphone, which has managed to surprise many.

RIM has already announced that it will be showcasing its flagship smartphones along with the new operating system in several countries on January 30, 2013. There have also been news reports suggesting that a QWERTY smartphone running on the BlackBerry 10 OS will start retailing from June 2013.

RIM begins BlackBerry 10 tests with business, government clients

Research In Motion Ltd said that it had begun a "beta testing" program that allows 120 companies and government departments to try out its new BlackBerry 10 smartphones before their global launch on January 30.
The Canadian company, which is trying to reverse a sharp decline in market share for the BlackBerry, said the program would enable so-called enterprise customers in business and government to size up the BB10.
Features of the BB10 include the ability to separate personal and business information so that the user can store both without compromising security.

RIM has struggled in recent years to hold on to its base of enterprise customers, which typically pay a higher subscription fee than consumers, as their employees push to use devices such as Apple Inc's iPhone for business as well as personal communications.
"This is a crucial step for us in getting our large enterprise customers ready to support BlackBerry 10 at the point of launch date, as opposed to post-launch date," Bryan Lee, senior director for enterprise accounts, said in a phone interview.
RIM is providing the software and handsets at no charge, and the companies do not have to buy anything once the trial is finished.
The company plans to release its quarterly results on Thursday, and analysts expect it to report its third straight loss as it struggles to sell its older devices.
RIM made its name selling mobile email devices to bankers, lawyers and other professionals before expanding to sell phones to consumers.
The company said the BB10 testers were from financial, insurance, healthcare, manufacturing, media, and distribution industries and include 64 Fortune 500 companies, as well as government departments.
Lee would not identify any of the entities, beyond Integris Health and the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, which have both said they are testing the new devices.
The customers have installed test versions of RIM's new server software, which manages iPhones and devices using Google Inc's Android software as well as BlackBerrys, and will each receive two preproduction BlackBerry 10 handsets later this week.
RIM shares were down 2.1 per cent at C$13.59 in morning Toronto Stock Exchange trading.
The stock has rallied from September's multiyear lows around C$6.50 on a wave of optimism over the new devices, but the share price is still far below mid-2008 highs of around C$150.
