We know RIM will hold a press event on January 30th to announce its BlackBerry 10 line of devices. However, we didn’t know when the first smartphones running the new version of platform will be released… until now. According to the screenshot we’ve got, the next-gen BlackBerrys may start hitting store shelves at the very end of February. That, at least, could be the date when Canada’s Best Buy will start offering RIM’s new phones with Bell contracts and we tend to believe the carrier will be among the first ones to join RIM’s small revolution. Moreover, we expect other major mobile operators from North America to do the same at that time with pre-orders likely to begin in early February. We’ll keep our eye on this and let you know as soon as we hear something new…
