BlackBerry Z10 unboxing video

BlackBerry 10 has been on the cards for some time and the first device to hit the shops will be the all touch BlackBerry Z10. We were lucky enough to get an early review model and first impressions are fantastic. Both the hardware and the new OS from RIM are first class and I am pretty sure that millions of other users will soon agree with me.

BlackBerry 10 was officially announced across the world earlier today and the devices will be in store here in the UK tomorrow. With around 9 million UK BlackBerry subscribers already BlackBerry 10 is sure to grow the numbers, maybe not overnight but in time I am confident it will give the iPhone and Android handsets a run for there money.

You can catch a quick unboxing video of the BlackBerry Z10 below and stay tuned over the next few days for some more in depth videos.
