The CEO of BlackBerry maker Research in Motion says he isn’t satisfied with the company’s performance, but he’s excited about its prospects with the upcoming BlackBerry 10 system.

He says the company has spent the past several months reorganizing operations to help reverse its fortunes. It’s also working hard to get devices running BlackBerry 10 out early next year, months behind schedule.
