BlackBerry Q10 goes up for sale in UK

Retailers in the UK have begun taking pre-orders for the BlackBerry Q10 smartphone, the second BB10 device to be made available by BlackBerry.
The device will not be cheap. An unlocked model will sell for £579.95, but O2, Orange, Vodafone and EE will each have versions if you prefer to get on a two-year contract.

For example, TNW says O2 has unlimited calls and texts with 1GB of data for £32 per month while other carriers are more expensive. EE has the only LTE network in the UK, and their similar plan starts at £41 per month.

The device will be available by the end of the month.

Q10 devices are notable due to their full QWERTY keyboards and small 3.1-inch touchscreen. Under the hood is a dual-core TI OMAP 4470 1.5GHz, 2GB RAM and 16GB of internal storage (microSD slot can expand another 32GB).

Looks like a nice phone.

Somethin' I was thinking about though; everyone always complains that these phones are outdated since they don't have a quad-core processor and 8GBs of RAM and dedicated graphics, blah, blah, blah. I've yet to try a new BB so I don't know how the system runs, but being a closed-source one made specifically for the device that its on, it probably doesn't need all of that additional power? I think most high end Android phones are overpowered with features I rarely take to the limit before I get a new one. Not that I don't appreciate it but I don't see how its as necessary as everyone makes it out to be.

Just a thought (message to the h8ers).
