by Ravi Mandalia August 8, 2011
Research in Motion won�t be launching ONX based Smartphones until late 2012, an analyst has claimed.
Jefferies and Co analyst Peter Misek said in a note to clients that the company is not expected to launch the superphones anytime soon even as RIM dished out new BlackBerry 7 OS devices.
�We continue to believe the story hinges on QNX, which we believe will be delayed to [the second half of 2012] vs. guidance of early CY12. Channel checks indicate that in spite of RIM's best efforts, QNX handsets are still likely to arrive in [the second half of 2012],� he said.
Many analysts believe that the Canadian Smartphone maker would need a lot more than new BlackBerry OS 7 devices to counter the advances made by Apple and Android at the expense of its market share.
The claim comes even before the company has announced a time-line for launching QNX based devices. RIM has been criticised by analysts for doing little to protect its market share from falling prey to Apple and Android and the disastrous launch of its PlayBook tablet PC device.
Previously a top RIM executive hinted that QNX based BlackBerry Smartphones will take 18 months to be launched, Tech Radar reports.
The delay could mean that consumers across the globe might just not wait for the QNX based smartphone and this could mean trouble for RIM.

If I said M&J were doing so and so, and they were trying to take a leaf out of SJ's book, does that mean SJ does the same or not? How does that imply that I said it is okay for SJ to do it? I said "so what if SJ says these?" because you threw that straw man out there and said I forgot about SJ, and I fell for it.
Anyway, if it makes you happy, you win the argument. I hope that makes you feel a little better inside.08-15-11 06:28 AMLike 0 - I think RIM has learned with the PB, and that is evident with the latest round of device launches. They've learned not to release buggy software just to hit a deadline. I expect the QNX phones to be launched when ready, and nothing sooner.08-15-11 06:29 AMLike 0

- So they've learned with the Playbook what they should have learned with the Storm? Gotta love RIM!anon3396357 likes this.08-15-11 09:32 AMLike 1

The overall assessment, then, is that QNX is reasonably sound but also relatively immature and its coming development might introduce new issues.Buzz_Dengue likes this.08-15-11 09:49 AMLike 1 - Thanks, also nice straw man in your comment. As you can clearly see in my past comments, I was not saying that particular comment was the one in which you implied it is okay for SJ to do it, it was your other comment that said "So what if SJ says that" (too early to quote). Again, nice try. GG

The average
selling price for RIM phones, according
to its results, dipped below $ 300 in the
past quarter; it�s still getting squeezed.
But clearly, it�s pricing to expand users,
and that is definitely succeeding.

- So does this mean you agree with me?
Please try and answer without sarcasm or some witty veiled attempt at pretending to simply give up on the argument instead of admitting you are wrong:Anyway, if it makes you happy, you win the argument. I hope that makes you feel a little better inside.08-16-11 08:28 AMLike 0
