The new Q10 features the BlackBerry Hub and BBM. As with the older QWERTY-packing BlackBerry handsets you’ll be able to use the physical keyboard to keep in touch but on the Q10 there’s a touch-screen too.
Plus if you go to Selfridges with your wife or girlfriend this weekend you’re going to earn loads of brownie points 😉

LONDON, 26th April, 2013 – The new BlackBerry® Q10 smartphone will be available exclusively at the Carphone Warehouse concession in Selfridges from 26th April – 28th April.

3pm Friday 26th – Sold out.
More due “soon”
Expecting more today, but she sounded doubtful…
I can see this phone doing very well, especially in the business world, I couple of people at my work are already sniffing around when their upgrade is. They have choice of Iphone or BB, but most already have Iphone on personal contract so the BB is the one they want, especially with the keyboard. I see some of the people who used to have keyboard BBs and now have full screen phones, their quick email responses sometimes look like they are out clubbing at 3am.
Blackberry surely have stepped up their game but I still think they do lack that extra bit to compete. In the business world they are still top dog but they are losing out to the iPhone and powerful android phones. They require their OS to not only cater for the Business world but also for the casual person.
