The makers of Blackberry, one of the most popular smartphones in the world, Research in Motion has now got a new reason to be happy, as the company’s share surged as RIM near the day of the launch of the all new Blackberry 9800. The touch screen 9800, will is being seeing as RIM’s answer to some of the high end smart phones in the market, such as the likes of iPhone from Apple Inc. The all new Blackberry 9800 is slated for a launch next Tuesday, in New York, where Research in Motion along with AT&T will bring the device to the consumers.

The Blackberry 9800 will be featuring a touch screen, full slide out keyboard and equally complimented with an entirely new operating system, along with an upgraded web browser. However, as per experts, the launch of the device needs to go without a hitch, if RIM wants to an encouraging sales figure, as the company has been known to be suffering from a diminishing value of its stocks, since the inception of iPhone and Google Android powered handsets. Then again, the timing of the launch of Blackberry 9800 couldn’t have come at a better time, especially, when the much hyped iPhone 4G is suffering from consumer wraith, due to its antenna problem.
