Full QWERTY BlackBerry Q10 passes FCC certification ahead of launch

The BlackBerry Q10 is the second device to launch with the BlackBerry 10 operating system, and it has just passed one hurdle on its way to market - the FCC. The Federal Commission has certified the device.

Expectations are for the BlackBerry Q10 to launch on April 30th in Canada, and probably a couple of weeks later in the United States. Nothing is official just, though.

The Q10 is also the first BlackBerry 10 device to feature a full physical QWERTY keyboard. That allows for only a 3.1-inch 720 x 720 pixel display there, looking smallish in today’s smartphone arena. Still, the benefits of a physical QWERTY keyboard should make up for that to some extent.
