1. [b]It more secure.
It has a solid reputation in the business world for a high level of security and reliability. That's why it's highly patronised by Fortune 500 companies and government agencies.

2.The new blackberry allows you function in two modes: WORK and PLAY.Your employer can exert some control over the Work side of your device while your Personal partition is beyond their control.

3.It stands out of the crowd. It's a genuine alternative to other OS: Android, iOS...... integration of gestures, speed, frame mind blowing

4.It's attracting developers[/b]Granted! Android and IOS are way ahead in the app world, but RIM's aim is to launch with 70,000 apps and that would be unprecedented for a new platform.At the weekend RIM was able to attract 15,000 app submissions by offering $100 for every ported app which is accepted and offered for sale in the BB 10 app store. Other incentives include the chance to win BB 10 development handsets and trips to developer conferences. RIM also set aside $10 million to offer developers with apps that exceed 100 downloads and earn at least $1,000 a guaranteed top up to $10,000.

5. [b]A loyal fan base
BB has over 79 million subscribers. Some have switched over to iOS and Android but the BB10 will surely lure many back to the fold.

6.The Hub: a universal inbox It's a one stop shop for organising your life at your as you wish. From multiple email accounts, call history, BBM, Text messages, social networks....

7.Multitasking: One outstanding feature of the BB10 is it's focus on multitasking.

8.Trademark physical keyboard[/b]There’s no doubt that touchscreens are here to stay, but some people will always prefer a physical keyboard on their smartphone and RIM make the best in the business. It still retains touchscreen keyboard in BB 10 that is well-spaced, accurate, offers decent predictive text, and even simultaneous multi-language support. It’s already one of our favorite touch keyboards.

9. [b]BBM[/b]The BBM is a feature for the app and now takes centre stage in the BB 10. The real-time chat client is going to expand on instant messaging to include voice calls over Wi-Fi. RIM has also worked on BBM Connected which is about integrating other apps like Facebook. There are rumors of a video chatting and screen sharing functionality which will definitely make it a killer app.

10.[b]Embracing the new
BB 10 will be embracing new trends.It will support NFC (Near field communication) and mobile payments.

Lastly, 1600 companies and counting, have already signed up for the Blackberry 10 training program.

I phones are still for the high end users and will take time to trickle down unless the Apple guys produce cheaper iphones. BB already has introduced a video calling and voice chat capability which is one major marketing strategy they will be using to sell the new BB 10
