Thread: Hands On BlackBerry10 Alpha Device

The excitement just keeps on coming! Following today's BlackBerry World keynote session, we were invited to an exclusive hands-on session with the BlackBerry10 Alpha Device!

As many of you may already know, this device is basically a mini-PlayBook. The overall UI is a stripped down version of the PlayBook OS (Alpha Device is running 10.0.4.197). Most of the BB10 features demonstrated in today's keynote are lacking in the developer device, as this device is mainly meant for developer to test their BB10 apps.

OS: BlackBerry 10 Developer Preview V 10.0.4.197.
Display: 4.2-inch 1280x768 HD LCD (356dpi) touch screen.
Storage: 16GB Internal.
Network: Quad Band HSPA+, No LTE support enabled. microSIM.
Connectivity: Bluetooth, NFC
Cameras: Front Facing with no flash. Rear Camera with Flash.
Ports: 3.5MM Headphone Jack, microHDMI, microUSB.
Battery: Non-Removable.

RIM stated that the BB10 devices that have a physical keyboard are coming.

Seem better than all the rest bb phones so far .. Battery: Non-Removable so if the phone freezes how are you gonna do a battery pull? unless this phone will never stick or freeze or lag like all the other blackberry's do even the 9900 lags ect an need battery pull an that is d best bb on the market now

Awesome pics.It seems that BB 10 devices will be great devices!

I can't wait to see it soon and hold it with my bare hands!
Thanks to Boss Joe and the PinoyBBDev Team!
I will have a chance to experience the BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha! Excited!

Shawn, thank you so much for the pictures of this gorgeous BlackBerry 10 Alpha device!

In response to kydd54, the reason the battery is non-removable for RIM's soon-to-be-released Final & Official BlackBerry 10 devices, freezing and/or the infamous black clock circle spinning around in the middle of the current market released OS6.0/OS7.0/OS7.1 BlackBerry devices will become a non-existent issue.

This has to mean something pretty significant for potential BlackBerry owners, who wish to upgrade their current device(s) [such as myself].

The thought of a no lag and freezing BlackBerry device, is amazing news, and I'm sure to other members and guests.

Hope that answers your question(s), and if you or another else requires any further info, please don't hesitate to ask me, or any other Team members.

Thank you.

It has the ability to do a complete power-down if it freezes. No worries.

i wish i got 1 love at first sight :P who want sand me blackberry 10 to indonesia hahahaha

Can't wait to have this one. Been waiting for this. I'm to give up my Android phone for this one.
