Earlier this morning, claims that BlackBerry 10 was delayed due to the product not being ready have been shut down as RIM counterclaims otherwise.  Here’s what they told AllThingsD today:

“RIM made a strategic decision to launch BlackBerry 10 devices with a new, LTE-based dual core chip set architecture.  As explained on our earnings call, the broad engineering impact of this decision and certain other factors significantly influenced the anticipated timing for the BlackBerry 10 devices. The anonymous claim suggesting otherwise is inaccurate and uninformed. As RIM has previously explained, and as Mike Lazaridis reiterated on the earnings call, we will not launch BlackBerry 10 devices until we know they are ready and we believe this new chip set architecture is required to deliver the world class user experience that our customers will expect. Any suggestion to the contrary is simply false.”

So one side says RIM is delaying due to BlackBerry 10 OS not being ready, while RIM themselves say it is indeed due to the chip set not being ready until then.  Who do you believe?
