Research in Motion Ltd. Chief Executive Officer Thorsten Hines hopes his multi-million government customers in North America to accept the BlackBerry device company's survival.
About 40 million global government customers to get a new BlackBerry last year, and Hynes said he believes at least next year the new BB10 model, many squandered. , Headquartered in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada's RIM said this week that its product sales will begin in February on multiple continents.
Hynes said: "I would be surprised if we do not see a wave BlackBerry 10," in an interview with reporters yesterday in Bloomberg's Washington office.
BlackBerry 10 RIM's comeback fight, after years of market share losses, the key to run on Apple's iPhone and Google's Andr oid operating system device. The company's share price has fallen more than 90%, the peak in 2008, emphasizing the attention of investors, the Blackberry can restore customers and repel challengers such as Microsoft's Windows Phone 8.
One analyst said that the arrival of new equipment may have died.
"We believe, BB10 may be DOA," James Faucette, an analyst at Pacific Crest Securities in Portland, Oregon, said in a report last week. "We expect the new operating system will encounter the best lukewarm response, and ultimately may fail."
BYOD policy
Some, RIM earliest and most loyal customers, U.S. government agencies, more than a decade, has been using a BlackBerry. The face of a growing number of federal agencies have accepted their own devices as a way to save money policy, Hynes said, he was determined to maintain their business.
"I wanted to capture the BYOD - let me say that a significant part of the BYOD segment - in the government and military," Hynes said, wearing a white shirt with embroidered BlackBerry logo pocket, wine red tie and matching blackberry cufflinks.
RIM may need more than 400,000 new mobile phone in the government market, if you want to have an impact, said Sameet Kanade, analyst at Northern Securities in Toronto.
