RIM will hold its AGM of shareholders today at the Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI) at 6:30 PM ET. It should be an interesting meeting as a lot of shareholders will be asking what the company’s plan is considering the increased competition in the smartphone market, and how the company plans to remain competitive. If one had to guess how the meeting will go, it will likely be focused on the recent announcements and won’t go into much detail about the competition, if at all. RIM generally doesn’t like to comment on any other smartphone.

Here are some of the topics you can expect RIM to highlight:

App World 2.0 and the benefits of carrier billing and 5.0 preloads.
BlackBerry Protect
BlackBerry OS 6 from a developer perspective.
BlackBerry OS 6 from a consumer perspective.
The BlackBerry Bold 9650
The BlackBerry Pearl 3G
