9.1

Description

With its hardware QWERTY keyboard, the BlackBerry Q10 follows in the footsteps of many legacy smartphones made by RIM. The four rows of hardware keys are situated underneath a high-resolution, 720 by 720 pixel touchscreen measuring 3.1 inches in diagonal. The back of the BlackBerry Q10 is made out of a fancy, glass-like material that is claimed to be stronger, thinner, and lighter than the plastic used in many handsets today. The company's re-imagined BlackBerry 10 operating system runs on the device.

Best Blackberry PHONE EVER !!
Phone owned for more than a year

Had a long and multiple history of bbm handsets. And by FAR, Q10 was the best and did not change from it since its release. Perfect keyboard, perfect touch sensitive screen, extremely resilient to environmental accidents. I just love that phone.

I've used all OS's this year--this is a keeper!
Phone owned for more than a year

In the last 12 months I have used all 4 OS's. I pay cash for my phones so when I lay out $200 or more---I expect more from EVERY dollar. The Blackberry 10 phones are a great value if you need a communication device. I don't play games or need to geo-locate youth hostels in SE Asia. The phone moves information quickly. I can look at EVERYTHING important to me and clean house in 5 seconds. Texting, Facebook, Emails---one shot.
