RIM announced that its subscribers are up 5 percent to 80 million in the quarter ended September 1, from the 78 million it reported earlier this year. The focus for the company is on Blackberry 10, featuring Internet browsing and multitasking between applications.

“There is new energy and a new fighting spirit in this company,” said RIM CEO Thorsten Heins. “BlackBerry 10 is our most important launch ever.”

While RIM is at a nine-year low with their stock, Heins said the company is getting positive feedback on its new BlackBerry 10 devices from the telecoms carriers that have had a peek at the new smartphones. “We are making believers out of our partners. We are making believers out of those who had previously written BlackBerry off,” Heins said.
