Blackberry 10

Sorry I was gonna talk about the future of devices today but i've just seen the new bb10 trailer. The blackberry os10.

First of all just to get it out of the way. The phone looks exactly like the iPhone apart from the home button. It's got the same tapered ages we've known and loved about the iPhone 4's build quality.

 The way that a phone call comes in and you have to swipe down to accept or swipe up to decline looks quite nice but my question is... Will it run that smoothly as it did in the trailer?

I like the white on black status bar. Now to me it looks like an e-ink screen. The status bar looks so crisp and detailed that it could actually be e-ink. It would be a shame if it was e-ink as you'd be annoyed watching a film on the phone and that status bar would either black out giving you lost screen relate or you'd get the time bar there. That's just speculation.

Now moving over to the keyboard. In the trailer the way the corrective text comes into play here, is that if you're typing a word such as (playstation) you'd start typing out play and with the next letter being s, you'd be able to tap and swipe up on the letter s and it would be inserted to whatever you are typing on. If you're typing a commonly used sentence or a sentence that you commonly write, it would automatically give you the next word so you can swipe up and it would be inserted.

I'm not really a blackberry fan as I really don't like the interface that blackberry have and the scroll keys are annoying at times. Blackberry have had a hard run this past year but if they can bring bb10 to market and make a success, start earning money again, i'd be happy for them.

We've yet to see the rest of bb10. All we've seen now is the email application, phone calls work, typing and streaming wireless content to a TV
