Hands on with the first BlackBerry 10 handset: The Z10 in photos
Summary: BlackBerry 10 has officially launched, so ZDNet went hands-on with one of the first handsets off the production line to see what it has to offer.

Other key specs include an 8-megapixel camera with auto-focus, capable of capturing 1080p HD footage and a front-facing 2-megapixel camera with digital zoom that can capture stills and 720p video footage.
If you're a 4G customer, the phone will also happily support 4G LTE in the 800MHz, 1800MHz and 2.1GHz bands. In the UK, the 800MHz and 1800MHz frequencies are used for 4G, as is 2.6GHz — although the latter is not supported by the Z10. In contrast, some networks in the US use the 700MHz and 2.1GHz bands.

OS Not the Problem w/ Blackberries!
Their Security and the OS has always up'd the anty on the competition and the competition still hasn't beaten them on Security level yet. It's a real RTOS....... meaning instant Boot Up! .....not fast or just super fast... but it's lights on, as soon as you push the button. That's why military, enterprise and industrial customers still.... PREFER Blackberry devices (and will always prefer).
It all goes back to Swift Boats in Vietnam. When they had to fire up the generator just shoot guns that used electronic targeting. The enemy always knew where you were.... there was no surprise. Modern combat systems almost all run on some form of RTOS. Whether that be a modified RTOS Linux OS w/ SE (Secure Linux) Kernel or now even a modified version of Android w/ both RTOS capability and SE Kernel! .....NSA finished the SE Kernel for Android early last year! ......now if Blackberry would just get really smart and release Blackberry 10 to Open Source Community, they'd assure themselves a future matched up to this new more powerful hardware!
