RIM sells 100 millionth BlackBerry, hints at two more devices in the near future

Say what you will about BlackBerrys — although with the Bold 9800 slider and OS 6, things might be looking up — Research in Motion is still doing strong in the pocketbooks. The company just released its first fiscal quarter 2011 results with revenue growth of 24 percent year-over-year, and here’s the rounded-number kicker: its 11.2 million shipments of smartphones this quarter has raised total shipments to over 100 million BlackBerrys. Quite a feat, but enough chit chat about the past — what does the future hold? In a conference call pertaining to the fiscal results, RIM alluded to two new devices shipping soon, with one for the summer and one closer to fall. We’d bet a pretty penny one of them is the aforementioned slider, but as for the second? Guess we’ll just wait and see.
