Fans and loyalists of RIM’s Blackberry devices are no doubt hoping that the company will be unveiling new handsets come Blackberry World 2012.

Unfortunately it looks like fans will be in for a disappointment as a RIM company representative has confirmed to CNET, “We are not unveiling any BlackBerry 10 hardware.” Given the recent reports of RIM’s current situation, one would think that the company would be eager to roll out new hardware to whet the appetites of fans and to attract new customers, but it does not appear to be the case. It looks like the company could be holding out for the launch of their Blackberry 10 series of phones which has been rumored for an August launch. In the mean time we guess the closest thing we can expect in terms of new hardware would be the Blackberry 10 developer handset.
