BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha hands on review

For now, RIM is keeping its sparkling BB10 platform under wraps and even admitted to keeping some secrets from us. But as far as we can tell, the king of QWERTY is investing a lot of time and money into what has been described by RIM CEO Thorsten Heins as "a very important millstone for us".

With an overhauled keyboard that lets you "throw" predicted words into your messages, a clever camera feature that enables you to select from various frames to get the perfect smile of your subjects and a finger-friendly UI, it certainly sounds like an OS worth waiting for. Let's just hope we're not waiting too long.

It may not have the official seal of approval, but the Dev Alpha has certainly got us salivating for real deal BlackBerry 10 phones. With a dedicated developer device, one thing is clear – RIM has extremely high hopes for its next attempt at smartphone domination. We for one cannot wait to see what it has in store.
