First BBX BlackBerry (London) Reportedly Renamed “Surfboard”.


Stretching all the way back in time to July 2010 is a Canadian trademark for “BlackBerry Surfboard”, obviously held by RIM. And it is that very (goofy) name that is reportedly the new name of the BBX powered BlackBerry London, RIM’s first smartphone to run the PlayBook’s QNX operating system.

Considering there’s quite a bit of time between now and the rumored mid-2012 release for the London/Surfboard, we’re hoping RIM’s marketing department (or whoever comes up with these names) finds something a little…um…better to roll with for the official launch.

The BBX powered BlackBerry Surfboard — not feeling it. You?
