RIM says mobile carriers are loving the BlackBerry 10 operating system, after holding recent demonstations for its key partners.
The company, which needs to knock it out of the park with BB10 to stand any chance of remaining a top industry player, reckons its network partners were hugely impressed during recent walkthroughs.
MD of Canadian operations Andrew McLeod, said executives were "visibly enthusiastic" (oo-er, missus!) during their first look at BB10, due to launch with the first handsets next January.
"The response that we got back from the executive team at some of the Canadian carriers was tremendous," he told reporters.
"They were visibly positive and visibly enthusiastic." he added, leading us to question what exactly these network executives were shown.
Staying positive
The latest comments from the RIM camp reflect its earnest desire to turn the tide of negativity currently washing over the company, which has witnessed sales and stock prices tumble dramatically.
"We're in the process of finalizing the software," added McLeod of the demonstrations.
"It was at a point where we had a confidence level that we could really demonstrate the validity of the products and software. Obviously, you don't want to show something that is not going to wow folks. People were excited with what they saw."
