I am a BIG fan of Blackberry since 2008. And when I say BIG FAN, that includes lambasting apple and android new releases (LOL). Kidding aside, I think Blackberry has been targeting consumers of corporate world, of non-touch screen fan and qwerty peepz. Last night, Research In Motion Ltd. CEO Thorsten Heins stepped onto a stage in Manhattan on Wednesday and unveiled the company’s long-delayed lineup of BlackBerry 10 devices, triggering a broadly positive reception as the company launches a new phase of its comeback attempt.
Was also suprised with the appearance of Alicia Keys on the launch.

Adam Leach, principal analyst at Ovum, said BlackBerry 10 offered an impressive, differentiated user experience that would stand out from Android and iPhone and appeal to existing BlackBerry owners. However, the challenge would be to attract new users and those who have already switched to a competitor.

BlackBerry Hub
Stay close to what’s important – keep everything that matters to you in one place. Simply peek into the BlackBerry® Hub from any app with just a swipe and flow effortlessly in and out of your messages and conversations.
BlackBerry Keyboard
The new touchscreen BlackBerry® Keyboard provides an effortless typing experience. It learns your writing style and suggests words to help you type faster, more accurately and with the least amount of effort. And if you tend to mistype certain letters, the keyboard will remember and subtly adjust to make sure you hit the right key.
BBM Video with Screen Share
Switch your BBM™ chat to a BBM™ Video1 conversation and talk face-to-face with those that matter to you most. Use the new Screen Share feature to show photos, your browser, or review a business document together. You can even share the view from your camera. It’s an amazing new BBM experience for BlackBerry® 10 smartphones.
Camera with Time Shift mode
Pinpoint and adjust elements of your picture to get the photo you want. Time Shift mode captures milliseconds before and after your photo – so you can scroll back on the dial to open one friend’s eyes and then forward to catch your other friend smiling, before combining it all to create the perfect picture.
