Start the countdown: 79 days!

So the phones aren't even releasing in January...man, I don't want to wait so long. I really hope they launch the phones within two weeks of the event. I will be really disappointed if they launch the phones in March.

Did Jefferies & Company analyst Peter Misek confirm this.
There should be an investigation on Peter Misek for bring the RIMM stock down, by missleading investors on the March release date of BB10.

I just hope that we can buy the phones shortly after this event.

It is 79 days until the event, the wording of the press release is careful not to suggest that it is the launch of the devices (although they will be unveiled) - could be same day, next day or if they are as cack-handed as Microsoft weeks later.

I'm not complaining, since the dip gave me the chance to sell at a peak and buy in a trough.

I would love to see what Mr. Misek's reaction is to this, of course

Yeah, it's the launch of the platform, not the phones. The phones will be unveiled. Hopefully they will be available very soon after.

Key line from the presser:

This day will mark the official launch of its new platform - BlackBerry 10, as well as the unveiling of the first two BlackBerry 10 smartphones.

[NFLPLAYBOOK]

I'd say we were within 90 days of one of them being released. This is great. I know what I'm getting.

A launch is not a release. Hopefully the phones will be available shortly after this date but there is no guarantee. Given RIM's long history of missed targets and disappointing delays it could very well be March before the phones hit store shelves.

Best Birthday Present EVER!

[Seijuro]

this is awesome!

the moment i get my hands on a BB 10 device... i'll be so damn excited and happy that i'll pee all over this table, and then i'll make the neighbors clean it up because im too damn busy caressing my BB 10 device ; >

ohboyohboyohboyohboyohboy......

CAN.NOT.WAIT.

One L series and one N series, please....thank you.....

This is what it was quoted in Forbes Oct. 9/12.
Research In Motion is not likely to launch the much-anticipated BlackBerry 10 operating system software until March 2013, Jefferies analyst Peter Misek asserts in a research note. To date, the company has only said it expects to debut the first BB 10 devices in the calendar first quarter.
“We had hoped for a January launch but now see a March launch as more likely,” he writes.

[berklon]

So the Launch Event is Jan. 30th and they'll announce the actual release date then.

So it's looking like BB10 will actually be available in March. Still 3+ months away.

That's a lot of potential customers they'll lose in that time frame.

Who's telling you March? Or is that just your default assumption?

[robtanz]

Wow. Good news.

[sleepngbear]

Gave the stock a nice little early boost, too. Up 0.30 already.

[mikeo007]

Would be a nice surprise if they did announce that the phone would be out the following week or something like that.

[jonduran86]

Cannot wait for this event! Hopefully the phones are released shortly after.

[katesbb]

The only thing new I've learned is I won't be able to get a BB10 device before January 30th, 2013.

My upgrade is about due. I love my BB. But I'm being asked to wait two months to find our how long I have to wait. That's a little frustrating
