That will be a big bet but RIM has made lots of preparations for this resurgence!

BlackBerry 10
RIM has told us that its new mobile OS will comes in early of 2013 and recently it announced that the BlackBerry World conference is scheduled on January 30. Will the new OS bring us new experience different from iOS and Android? The features of user interface will include a platform-wide flow interface, a new intelligent keyboard, as well as a camera app which allows the user to adjust a portrait by moving through time scale to optimize picture quality. Similar to iOS and Android, users of BB 10 can find the app list on the screen by swiping from right to left. What’s more, any application, even third party ones, will be able to appear as an 'Active Frame' on the BB10 homescreen, which helps users away from the limited widget on Android.
In addition, the element of secure is always one focus of attentions for fans of BlackBerry. In BlackBerry 10, users can switch between two modes, Personal and Work Modes. In personal, users can do anything same as other OS, such install apps, play games, send email. But the Personal mode is working in an encrypted partition. The Work Mode, completely separated from Personal Mode, is also encrypted and even can be locked down. In Work Mode, users can't find any personal apps and copy files between the two modes. That means everything in Work mode is fully secured.

Ahead of the launch of its new BlackBerry 10 smartphone, RIM announced its music and video partners, including Walt Disney Studios and Sony Pictures to Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group. According to RIM’ news, users will easily access to an extensive catalog of songs, movies and television shows. It is more exciting that most movies will be available on BlackBerry storefront the same day they are released on DVD, with next-day availability for many TV series. Another advantage of BlackBerry 10 is that users can see lower prices of mobile apps as RIM decreases the price tiers used by developers. To make sure that app prices stay consistent and competitive across the globe, the new pricing tiers incorporate currency exchange rates and value-added tax requirements.
