In the earnings call today (still ongoing), John Chen let it be known that the first and new Foxconn produced device is under the codename “Jakarta” with a March to April release timeframe.

Running BB10, John Chen didn’t go much into detail other than it being a 3G only device, John Chen is working the known hostile crowd that’s usually present in earning calls. If anything, the stock moved from -6% to +3% before and during the call.

Update: John Chen had a Foxconn produced BlackBerry 10 device on him as he sat through and answered questions on the earnings calls! No, he didn’t show it, he just mentioned he had one.
