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
You can watch a live webcast of the event by logging on at their investors’ portal.
You can also join Financial Post Technology reporter Matt Hartley as he reports live from the RIM AGM.
We’ll also be writing articles if anything of interest is said at the event.

Cincinnati Bell The First U.S. Carrier To Offer The BlackBerry Pearl 3G
@njvinnie, a regular commentator here on RIMarkable just asked me this morning via Twitter if I knew what the holdup was on U.S. based carriers offering the BlackBerry Pearl 3G. It just so happens that Cincinnati Bell already does.
We are pretty sure that they started offering the Pearl 9100 just recently, so, if you really want to pick yourself up a new Pearl 3G, and, you fall under their coverage area, you might want to head over to the BlackBerry Pearl 9100 page on Cincinnati Bell’s site.
