Three weeks.
That's how long until RIM officially launches its new BlackBerry 10 phones. One year ago, I explained why RIM had a long road to getting developers enthused enough to create apps for the new platform. The company has spent that year going down it, honing its developer message, o...

With the public unveiling of BlackBerry 10 fast approaching, we're getting yet another look at RIM's forthcoming QWERTY smartphone. Last week the first images of the device — tentatively known as the X10 — surfaced online, with the hardware...
RIM's lost a lot of favor in the wireless industry over the last few years, and has a sizable hole to dig out of with BlackBerry 10. But it's going to get a chance to do so: Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T all confirmed to Reuters that they will offer BlackBerry 10 devices.

We know that RIM plans to launch BlackBerry 10 with two devices, but the company won't stop there. In an interview with Fierce Wireless, CMO Frank Boulben said that there will be at least six BlackBerry 10 phones released in 2013, and that the company would aim to hit a range of price points.
RIM reportedly has no exclusive carrier agreements in place, and Boulden says that this frees the company up to target the high, middle, and low end of the market. With the company struggling in the high-end segment, its traditional strength at the low end may prove crucial to BlackBerry 10's fortunes. It's unclear, however, if this signals a move away from the strategy to continue offering BlackBerry 7 devices.

Last week Nokia announced that RIM would pay it a one-off fee and make subsequent payments as part of a patent licensing agreement. It's now emerged, thanks to an SEC filing spotted by AllThingsD, that the one-off payment was a lump sum of €50 million, or around $65 million. The fee has been...
