While not everyone is convinced RIM has what it takes to stay relevant in the mobile game, the Canadian company keeps pushing its agenda forward. To that end they’ve secured Vodafone UK as one of its customers and it will start selling BlackBerry 10 devices from the day one.
It’s unclear which BlackBerry phones the Big Red carrier will offer, but it’s likely they’ll opt for both an all-touchscreen model and the one that also sports a QWERTY keyboard. That’s just me speculating and we’ll rather have to wait for January 30th to see what Vodafone and other operators have in tow.
And while we’re sure RIM will do its distribution right, we’re still not convinced that will be enough to put BlackBerry back to the map. This is not to say we’re not cheering for RIM, we’re just afraid that it could be too late for them to return to the party. Only the time will tell…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
