January 30 officially launched: BlackBerry 10 began enterprise user testing

December 18 news, according to foreign media reports, RIM said on Monday that it has begun to implement a beta test plan, allowing 120 companies and government departments to try out their new BlackBerry 10 smartphones. This kind of mobile phone will be sold worldwide on January 30th.

RIM said that this plan will allow companies and government customers to experience whether the BlackBerry 10 smartphone can meet their needs. The BlackBerry 10 features include the ability to isolate personal and corporate information. In this way, users can store both types of information without affecting security.

Bryan Lee, senior manager for corporate clients at RIM, said that this feature is very important for us to get support from large enterprise users when the BlackBerry 10 is launched, rather than after it is launched.

RIM provides free software and mobile phones to participating companies and government agencies. After the test is over, the company can not purchase any products.

RIM plans to release its quarterly earnings report on Thursday. Analysts predict that because RIM is difficult to sell its old products, RIM will report losses for the third consecutive quarter.

According to RIM, companies participating in the test of the BlackBerry 10 smart phone come from industries such as finance, insurance, health care, manufacturing, media and distribution, including 64 Fortune 500 companies. There are also government departments participating in this test. Each test user can get two pre-production BlackBerry 10 phones later this week.
