In a staunch defence of his company, Research In Motion chief executive Thorsten Heins says that all is well with production of the new BlackBerry and the health of the company at large.


Despite the cutting of 5000 jobs and delaying the launch of the new BlackBerry 10 until 2013, Heins is convinced that RIM are in good shape to turn around the failing fortunes of the BlackBerry brand.


"There's nothing wrong with the company as it exists right now," Heins said on CBC's Metro Morning, a local radio program in Toronto.

"I'm not talking about the company as I, kind of, took it over six months ago. I'm talking about the company (in the) state it's in right now."

"This company is not ignoring the world out there, nor is it in a death spiral," Heins told the CBC.

"Yes, it is very, very challenged at the moment — specifically in the U.S. market. The way I would describe it: we're in the middle of a transition," he said.

"All that is in the making, it's in the works. This company is in the middle of it and I'm positive we will emerge successfully from that transition."
