CEO Thorsten Heins: ‘we will reinstall faith in RIM,’ suggests January launch for BlackBerry 10

In a wide-ranging interview with CIO, RIM CEO Thorsten Heins opted to use the word “January” to discuss BlackBerry 10’s launch instead of the traditional “Q1 2013” that we’ve heard to-date. It’s possible that it was a slip of the tongue, but if not that’s a more optimistic window for BlackBerry fans. As we’ve heard before, the plan appears to be to launch the full touchscreen device first with a physical keyboard device coming “very shortly after” as a kind of “one-two punch.”
