Some of you may already know this but today, RIM officially unveiled BlackBerry 10. They also rebranded themselves as BlackBerry.

Here are some links:

And some videos:

I used a Blackberry for work about oh, 7 years ago and these are far superior.

I am a excited about this and will buy one!

Their method of predictive text looks really good.

Looks fantastic, I fully support the idea that RIM are rebranding (Since everyone knows them as Blackberry here, I say RIM and people go "what?") and these phones look the part. Hopefully they'll shift a decent number of units!

Also in the embedded video where he says "The new Blackberry ZEE ten," I cringed.

All the Crackberry yuppies in my land are going zerg rush over this phone.

It does indeed. It supports up to 3 languages and it can learn to better predict words you commonly use.

It really does. The vocal minority that swore RIM would die are conveniently quiet right now.

People have been waiting a long time for BB10. And if they're already a fan of BlackBerry, then chances are they're going to want a BB10 device.

I'm shocked. I didn't expect a good release and now I want one. Great job RIM/BlackBerry.

[Virtunate]

As a former RIM employee I'm very impressed with the launch and hope RIM/BlackBerry can really continue to innovate with the new software.

Too bad about battery life, that's what makes my work issued bold 9930 so nice. The new z10 device also looks much nicer than the boring iPhone 5.

[Growled]

A really super nice release. I can't wait to see one in a store to play with it. If it's as good as it seems I am thinking strongly of getting one.

[Draconian Guppy]

If audio quality performance isn't up to par with the iphone 4s/5, do no want. The z10 is refreshing versus the regular androids and iphones ( lumia 920 are pretty good design wise).

These gestures seem way too complicated for the average user.

I bet in 5 minutes they can get it. They say it's very easy to learn.

[FloatingFatMan]

Looks a lot like iOS in places...
