All right ladies and gentleman, please stop speculating that Research In Motion has any plans to switch over to Android or Windows Phone. The company will stick to its very own BlackBerry OS no matter what, said Alec Saunders, vice president, developer relations, Research in Motion.
Rubbishing all the speculations, Saunders told EFYTimes.com, “I don't have a clue where has this come from. We are not adopting Android or Windows Phone OS. We will stick to BlackBerry OS and there should be no speculation about it, particularly at the time when we are working for the next version of our operating system.” 
RIM recently organised a developers' meet for Indian developers in New Delhi where they gave a glimpse of what their next-generation operating system is all about.
Speculations about RIM adopting Android and Windows Phone began because of the company losing its ground in global market. Steve Ballmer, chief executive officer, Microsoft, had reportedly approached RIM offering a partnership with Windows Phone Operating system. Google’s Matias Duarte also showed his interest in BlackBerry's hardware during an interview recently. He said, “I love hardware keyboards. Many of the products that I have worked on had hardware keyboards.” For him there is a place for hardware keyboards. Duarte continued expressing his passion for hardware keyboards and went ahead to say that he would love to see RIM adopt Android. He said, “I would really welcome if RIM wanted to work with Android. They make great physical keyboards.”
But RIM has denied the claims and settled the speculations terming them as 'rumours'.
