Canadian smartphone maker Research In Motion (RIM), which makes the BlackBerry, says it’s back. The company is _______to reclaim a market it once dominated by _______two new devices. The last few years have been a painful time for the company as customers deserted its platform in _______of newer and more _______devices. This may be the company’s last chance to _______a vital player in an increasingly crowded marketplace.

Two brand new devices are perhaps a fresh _______for a company that has seen its global market share _______from 20 percent three years ago to just over 3 percent today.

For BlackBerry CEO Thorsten Heins, it’s another chance to remake a faded _______. “We have _______been on a journey of transformation, not only a journey to transform our business and our brand, ________one that I truly ________transforms mobile communications into true mobile computing,” he said.

The company promises the same ________level of network security the BlackBerry is known for, ________a fast new browser and a more intuitive operating system. The Z10 ________much like the touch-screen phones popularized by its competitors (竞争者), but the Z 10 maintains the “qwerty” keyboard that has become BlackBerry’s trademark.

Besides the technical and cosmetic (外观上的) updates, Heins says the company will no longer be called RIM or Research In Motion.

“Our customers use a BlackBerry, our ________work for BlackBerry and our shareholders are owners of BlackBerry. From today on, we are BlackBerry ________in the world,” he said.

Shareholders will be watching if customers ________the new devices. The company’s stock has dropped as much as 90 percent in the last four years as it lost ________to competitors. But company shares have doubled in the last four months as anticipation (预期) ________for the new models.

Analysts say the new devices could make or ________a company, which many people praise for starting the technological revolution in smart-phones.
