According to one analyst, the BlackBerry 10 launch that was originally scheduled to happen as early as January 2013--which is already late as it is--could now be pushed all the way up to March, as RIM suffers yet another delay. Apparently, channel partners cutting back on BlackBerry device inventory is one of what can only be a myriad of reasons as to why this delay is happening. For what it's worth, a lot of people are still waiting on RIM to finally push out BB10 and compatible devices. Although at this rate, it looks like the BlackBerry faithful will have to keep waiting even more.
