RIM marketing boss sees silver lining in BlackBerry delay


TORONTO: A delay in the launch of the new generation of BlackBerrys until next year will give retailers more time to focus on the revamped smartphones once they hit store shelves, Research In Motion Ltd's new marketing chief said on Monday.

In the latest upbeat salvo in a week-long media blitz from the embattled company, Frank Boulben said the launch delay from late 2012 to early 2013 - after the crucial Christmas shopping season - would not be a death blow to RIM.
