If there was one word to sum up general opinion on the BlackBerry 10 launch, it would be 'meh'. There's a feeling that it's too little, too late. But we've been here before -- back in 2009, with Palm, and it seems that BlackBerry's going the same way. Read More >>

RimBerry's happy statement that the new BB10 phones are launching with 70,000 bespoke apps was a bit of a white lie, with one of the company's own men admitting that up to 40 per cent of these are frantic Android port jobs. Read More >>

"I'd actually say that if around 30,000 Android apps have made it to BB10 before release that's a GOOD thing!

Last night the world held its collective breath as RIM BlackBerry took its sweet arse time trotting out the BlackBerry Z10 and Q10 and amidst all the shenanigans, the company formerly known as RIM managed to show off a few notable new BB10 features, too. In case you missed all the live coverage last night, you can find everything and anything related to BlackBerry 10 below. Read More >>

"Then according to you a lot of people are wrong developping over 775.000 apps for iPhone platform ? And BB just need 50 apps ?

Last night BlackBerry demoed what it's calling BlackBerry Balance, a clever way of separating one's personal and work lives in one device. You don't see it as much these days but carrying two phones — one for business, one for pleasure — was commonplace not too long ago. I remember having a BlackBerry 6200 alongside my Sidekick 2; and I'm sure a lot of you remember those days as well. Read More >>

The BlackBerry Z10 might be the prom queen of the BB10 launch, but the Q10 and its physical keyboard is what a lot of people are actually waiting for. "Will I still be able to have a BlackBerry like my BlackBerry after this?" Sure, just better. Read More >>
At first blush there's a lot to like about BB10, BlackBerry (née RIM)'s last great hope at redemption. But the first thing you might love is the revamped BBM. It's crazy slick, and your iPhone is jealous. Read More >>
BlackBerry's QWERTY handset for BlackBerry 10 is here. BlackBerry 10 does away with a lot of baggage that has been holding BlackBerry back, but the QWERTY keyboard is here to stay, and this slim, lightweight Q10 phone is its future. Read More >>
If you're interested in such trifling things as a fallen tech giant rising with power and grace from the ashes in a phoenix-like maelstrom of ashes and redemption, good news! RIM's unveiling its BlackBerry 10 operating system, and livestreaming the feed to all the internets everywhere right now. Read More >>
Well, here goes. RIM is announcing its new BlackBerry 10 OS and hardware today. This could be the launch that gets RIM back in the game for smartphones. Or it could be the last time BlackBerry is relevant. It's a big moment. Read More >>

We're used to politicians talking a heck of a lot, but not actually saying anything of substance at all, and definitely not answering the damn question. But RIM's EU MD, Stephen Bates, has just put them all to shame. Here's how to stick to a pre-written PR script no matter what the hell happens. Or in other words, how not to do an interview. Just listen to this cringe-fest. Read More >>

Look people, I know the BlackBerry Z10 looks great, but I just can't believe that some of you are doing these stupid things to get one for free. Ok, five of you. Read More >>
RIM's day of reckoning is almost here. Tomorrow, the once-mighty Canadian company will officially unveil its new BlackBerry 10 operating system, along with new hardware. It's a chance at rebirth, reinvention, and getting out from under its walking corpse reputation. But for that to happen, RIM needs to prove it's back on the right track. Read More >>

Rumour has it RIM might "pull an Apple" at tomorrow's big BB10 reveal, with sources suggesting it might put the new BlackBerry Z10 on sale right after the launch event. The news comes via a supposed internal communication from Vodafone UK, which suggests the Z10 will be available for order at 5.00pm tomorrow. Mind you, internal emails are easy to fake, and pre-order campaigns are very different from actual delivery dates... [The Verge] Read More >>
