Blackberry Colt

Research in Motion (RIM) recently introduced 5 BlackBerry handset with BlackBerry 7 operating system. Apparently the ammunition Canadian vendor is not to stop there, they were reportedly preparing to launch BlackBerry with QNX operating system. Yes, as often touted, QNX OS that is now used by the Playbook will also landed on BlackBerry phones.
BlackBerry ColtSite technology BGR managed to get a photograph that is claimed to be a real apparition BlackBerry with OS QNX. Mobile phones are being developed internally is code-named BlackBerry Colt. RIM reportedly will launch BlackBerry Colt in the first quarter of 2012.

RIM has always touted the superior battery life of its mobile devices, and this has forced the vendor to be one of the last to adopt various technologies, from full-color screens to fast 1+ GHz processors. In a time where we’re close to seeing quad-core CPUs in mobile devices, RIM is launching single core devices with a promise of dual-core processors coming to its future QNX smartphones. The information we have received suggests that the first QNX device out of Research In Motion will be powered by a single-core processor, however, rather than a speedier multi-core chipset. It’s entirely possible that it could change ahead of the device’s release, our source said, but the internal testing going on right now is with a single-core chip.

One of the reasons that the BlackBerry PlayBook launched without native email is that RIM has had to rewrite its BES code in order for it to support the new operating system, and this has proven to be extremely difficult. We have been told that RIM is working on a QNX-specific BlackBerry Enterprise Server, but that the first QNX smartphone will launch without support for current BES versions. The kicker? If companies want to use Microsoft Exchange email on the device, they will actually have to use Microsoft ActiveSync, which the phone will support out of the box.
