It’s unclear if the company will be showcasing a BlackBerry 10 OS device as well

Although the recent rumors suggest that Research In Motion plans to license its Blackberry 10 operating system to other handset manufacturer, such as Samsung or HTC, it appears that company plans to announce it next month at MWC 2012.

 

The folks over at Pocketlint were told by a RIM spokesman that BlackBerry 10 operating system will be revealed next month at the 2012 Mobile World Congress, in Barcelona.

 

2012 will be the year of BlackBerry 10 so we’ll be showcasing the capabilities of our future operating system as well demonstrating the power of BlackBerry 7, with a particular focus on NFC and BBM connected apps.”

 

However, given the fact that RIM said recently that the first BlackBerry 10 OS devices will be launched on the market later this year, it will be interesting to see if the company will be able to showcase a handset capable of running the upcoming platform.
