hi guys Brian Bennett for cnet.com and we are here in New York at BlackBerry's brand-new BlackBerry 10 launch event and we're checking out the brand new blackberry q10 now this device may look familiar to a lot of you BlackBerry users out there it has basically a very bold style similar to the BlackBerry Bold that is legendary among BlackBerry users and it also has a QWERTY keyboard here it also has these sculpted keys and you can tell that the the fretting goes across onto the side as well and essentially this device has all of the major components as the other device I was announced today the BlackBerry z10 it has a quad-core Snapdragon s4 plus processor it's dual-core and it has an 8 megapixel rear camera on back here you can see with an LED flash and on front and has a 2 megapixel front facing camera the screen is a 3.1 inch AMOLED display which is kind of interesting on the side you've got micro USB as well as an HDMI connection if you want to output movies and that type of thing and on this side you've got a very slim volume key here and also a little selector button in the middle also nice is that you can remove the back cover to get at the removable battery which is 2100 milliamps as opposed to the 1,800 milliamps on the z10 so that gives a little bit more juice especially if you're a power user another cool thing it has NFC Bluetooth a lot of the bells and whistles that a lot of the new smartphones from you know on the Android platform or some of the iOS devices have so all in all it's a very nice looking device so definitely wanna check this out for review when it's available BlackBerry says it'll probably hit store shelves in April in the US so we'll have to stay tuned and see how that works out I'm Brian Bennett and this has been a first look at the blackberry q10
