Heins said very interesting things in this recent interview done on February the 24th with FAZ.net. Here are some highlights using rough translation from german to english via Google translate.
"Now you hope for a comeback of new smart phones with the operating system BlackBerry 10th Some analysts say the launch in initial countries such as Britain and Canada a few weeks ago was a little underwhelming.
Since I have completely different information, we exceed our expectations"
"We exceed our expectations, and the requirements were ambitious. Before we give out specific numbers, we want to do business but watch for a while."
"There was speculation that the new BlackBerrys were sold out in some stores only because you have kept the offer extremely tight ...
The fact is that we have been surprised by the positive response. We have now increased our production capacity."
How much for?
I will not reveal at the moment. But I can say this much: significant for us and unexpectedly high proportion of BlackBerry 10 devices will be purchased by new customers who previously had iPhones or Android smartphones"
Thorstein Heins sounded confident in the german interview of the future of blackberry and current sales of the bb z10. I would definitely want to get into the stock before hard numbers are released.
