Watch These 9 Blackberry Suppliers

The Blackberry (BBRY) launch marks the start of a new refresh for the smartphone maker. Blackberry 10 runs on QNX and is built from the ground up. Few investors are able to predict how much market share the company will gain, but reviews are positive. Sales are limited to a few places, including U.K. and Canada, limiting profit growth for the current quarter. As the device launch rolls out worldwide, suppliers could be rewarded if sales grow.
