Here Comes the BlackBerry 10

This morning Research in Motion will unveil new phones and its first new smartphone operating system in a year and a half, the BlackBerry 10 — an update that RIM hopes will save it from gadget doom. Even if BlackBerry 10-compatible phones prove as incredible as the tech world expects, RIM will have to give consumers a lot more than a nice cellphone if it wants to gain cultural relevance again. The company is behind on both apps and carriers. Even if the two new phones coming out today have the total package, most people won't think BlackBerry when opting for their next smartphone. Then again, maybe BlackBerry will announce something super fresh today. We'll update this post with all the news and specs as soon as the press conference gets underway.
