RIM CEO Thorsten Heins, in spite of some gloomy numbers, thinks the Waterloo-based BlackBerry smartphone maker is on the right track.
Heins told CBC Radio that, since taking over, the company has been implementing changes that are helping Research in Motion transition to its recently delayed BlackBerry 10 operating system, adding that “there’s nothing wrong with the company as it exists right now.”
“This company is not ignoring the world out there, nor is it in a death spiral… yes, it is very, very challenged at the moment — specifically in the U.S. market. The way I would describe it: we’re in the middle of a transition… All that is in the making, it’s in the works. This company is in the middle of it and I’m positive we will emerge successfully from that transition.”
It’s a transition from which, Heins insists, RIM “will emerge successfully.”
Tru will be launching its newly-redesigned and upcoming VoIP application alongside the brand new OS.
Though things may look grim for RIM right now, it could very well be the transition that Heins said it is. What do you think?
