Mobile World Congress, one of the biggest wireless industry events of the year, kicks off next week in Barcelona, Spain.  MWC is “the” show when it comes to mobile phones and all of the big players will be there, including Research in Motion.  RIM co-CEO Jim Balsillie is listed as one of the keynote speakers and he will undoubtedly talk about the BlackBerry PlayBook which is expected to ship within the next month to six weeks or so.  The question, however, is will RIM make any official announcements as to new BlackBerry phones  soon to be released?

The BlackBerry Torch has been carrying the mantle as flagship of the BlackBerry line-up since it came out, but, it really offered no improvements in horsepower over the Bold 9700 which came out a year earlier.  The fastest BlackBerry on the market barely has half the processor that it’s competitors, some released before the Torch, has.  We know that we aren’t going to get a dual-core, QNX running, BlackBerry Playbook squeezed down to the size of a BlackBerry Storm, but, I hope we do get something with a little more legs that doesn’t seem ridiculously outdated when compared every other smartphone available in North America.
