BlackBerry 10 Launch Event
A live blog from RIM's Toronto BB10 launch.
-
-
Some takeaways from the launch: Z10 with on-screen keyboard available in Canada Feb. 5, starting price is $149 on a "select" 3 year contract plan but no word on whether they'll be sold individually to consumers; 70,000 apps at launch but it's not clear how many are native and how many are ports; no word on Q10 availability (model with physical keyboard) but rumours say March or April...
