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.
