The troubled company had previously been working on handsets codenamed ‘Colt’, ‘Milan’ and ‘London’, but the Canadian firm is now focusing all its energies on one device, according to BGR.com.
It is currently being shown to networks, and BlackBerry
has already confirmed to journalists that demonstration of BlackBerry 10
will take place at the Mobile World Congress trade show in Barcelona next
month.
BlackBerry is also set to demonstrate the updated version of the BlackBerry
Playbook software at the Consumer electronics Show in Las Vegas next week,
but it has yet to publicly announce a launch date for integrated email into
the tablet device. It recently slashed prices in a bid to boost sales of the
7” device.
The London is likely to ship late in the summer. RIM has been working with
Porsche Design on a handset that is currently on sale at Harrods in London,
and some leaked images suggest that the new handset could take its design
cues from the £1,275 P'9981.
It has been a
difficult year for RIM, with its share price declining sharply. With
pressure growing on the company's joint CEOs, Mike Lazaridis and Jim
Balsillie, the firm has reportedly been examining the appointment of a new
chairman.
