The latest BlackBerry smartphones are due to be
unveiled today.
BlackBerry 10 (BB10), initially two handsets with a
brand new software system, is set to be launched
by parent company Research in Motion (RIM) at six
events around the globe.
The much-delayed system is being closely watched
by technology experts who want to see whether it
can propel BlackBerry back into the big league
alongside the likes of Apple and Samsung after a
couple of troubled years.
On The BlackBerry Experience website, the
company wrote: "We have taken the very essence
of BlackBerry and built a completely new
experience."
One analyst who has seen the new phones said the
operating system (OS) is different to Apple's iOS
and Google's Android.
Some experts believe that the new system, with the
Z10 touch-screen phone and the X10 which features
BlackBerry's trademark Qwerty keyboard, could
help it win back both business customers and
consumers who drifted away to other handsets
when it launched the previous unpopular BlackBerry
7 system.
Others questioned whether the launch, delayed
from last year, means Canadian firm RIM has left it
too late to catch up.
The launch events will take place in London, New
York, Toronto, Paris, Johannesburg and Dubai.
