battery life is improved significantly after the latest os update. definitely equal or much better than a lot of other phones out there.

most reviews are outdated because they were tested with earlier software versions. so much things has been fixed since then (performance, battery life, and camera image quality)

I love how they have entered touch screen but still remained very true to blackberry with what appears to be perfect email and messaging integration. Would LOVE to over android when it comes to multiple email accounts and business related stuff. With android its all one account or nothing..

Looks like RIM did some good stuff here.

I can't want to see the full hands on!

The last BlackBerry phone I had, before I got the G1, got hit by a riding lawnmower and flew about 100 feet. It still worked perfectly after, the only thing wrong was the gash in the screen where it got hit. The plastic on the screen was so thick, the actual display wasn't damaged at all.

I mean, touchscreen phones can't really have that level of durability, but that phone will always have a place in my heart.

I'm grateful the presenter knew the way around things with BB10. I'm excited with it, being an Android devotee for quite some time. Breath of fresh air, I suppose? :)

[centurytuna]

ok bro got your point there, it also consoling that even nokia abandoned N9, one great company like blackberry appreciate the UI and somewhat adopted it /improved and progressed in it..i would feel at home using this blackberry..

Thanks for uploading Michael. Looking forward to the hands on review.

I personally am impressed with what Blackberry has done with BB10... It doesn't pull on having outstanding perks from the three other major OS's, but then again it doesn't need to... People will bash a product when someone else has it (guilty, I hated the iPad at first... Still not entirely fond of it though), it's just part of our nature I guess... In what ever case, BB10 looks great, and I think that it'll draw some more attention in the near future

I have the 920 as well and the OS is buggy, but that's NOT the fault of WP8. My Lumia 720 and 900 were awesome on WP7.X. I had sent back the 920 for repair and been using the HTC 8X for about a week and what a world of a difference. Lumia 920 is a great phone, though the OS for it is buggy. Needs an update from NOKIA ASAP

Altough i'm an android guy, I really hope Blackberry to recover with BB10, I think it's quite promising and the ones who win with having a variety of operating systems and companies are us, the consumers.

[MABeezy]

I think functionality wise this will be a solid OS, let's just hope the app and media ecosystems are just as solid as well and RIM will have a winner.

That looks awesome blackberry you've impressed me with blackberry 10 good job rim keep it up

[JosephAKASkye]

And just like that, RIM can have hope again. Blackberry 10 looks really good!

[gmark]

WOW!!!! That looks GREAT!!! I've been with Android since the original Droid came out, and this is the only thing I've yet to see that makes me almost want to switch. It's gesture based, the screen isn't too big, it's GREAT for single hand usage, it has REAL multi tasking, and it's QUICK!!! Can't wait to see it in the Verizon store to try it myself. Android finally has a legit competitor for my next phone

[WolfieSilveira]

whoa that is actually pretty nice, I wouldn't mind getting a blackberry Z10

[ayvf]

Se parece mucho a Android, habrán checado su código fuente? y tiene mucho el estilo del webOS y me recuerda bastante a la antigua interfaz de Palm Pre

[MrForeverAlonez]

Pretty awesome ui, very multi task able and love the work/eccentric look system. Hopefully enough ram to prevent lags though

[xRomeo]

Can't wait for the discussion on blackberry 10 on the pocketnow podcast.

[AlexTyler]

Is there going to be a review of the the bb q10?

[ramonleon]

thank u michael for showing the new blackberry it look great

[xRomeo]

I wish the best to blackberry. Hope this keep them in the game. The o s looks pretty cool.
