We've said it once, and we're gonna say it again: battery life is the only stat that matters any more. Sadly, it's also one of the hardest to nail down in a decent, objective manner. None the less, we corralled together a Russian oligarch's wishlist of handsets, and put them to the test. Read More >>

It's only really just launched, but there's already an update for the BlackBerry Z10, which apparently enhances battery life, improves the camera, and quashes a few bugs. Good to see BlackBerry's committing to rapid updates. Something tells me it'll need it just to survive. [TechRadar] Read More >>

Along with the HTC One, a zillion new smartphones are going to be announced next week at Mobile World Congress, each promising camera advancements that may or may not live up to the hype. Before we get there, though, we wanted to take stock of how good the cameras are in the smartphones you can buy now. Here's how the flagships measure up. Read More >>

BlackBerry's new all-touch Z10 may have only been announced a little over a week ago, but some intrepid nerds have already torn the phone to shreds. And inside? It looks a lot like a Samsung. Read More >>
BlackBerry's Super Bowl ad from last night was... uh... interesting as you can see above. The company claimed that in 30 seconds, it was easier to show us what BB10 couldn't do — which is perhaps some of the laziest marketing ever. Read More >>
RimBerry's happy statement that the new BB10 phones are launching with 70,000 bespoke apps was a bit of a white lie, with one of the company's own men admitting that up to 40 per cent of these are frantic Android port jobs. Read More >>

"I'd actually say that if around 30,000 Android apps have made it to BB10 before release that's a GOOD thing!

Last night the world held its collective breath as RIM BlackBerry took its sweet arse time trotting out the BlackBerry Z10 and Q10 and amidst all the shenanigans, the company formerly known as RIM managed to show off a few notable new BB10 features, too. In case you missed all the live coverage last night, you can find everything and anything related to BlackBerry 10 below. Read More >>

"Then according to you a lot of people are wrong developping over 775.000 apps for iPhone platform ? And BB just need 50 apps ?

So, BlackBerry's finally pushed a new flagship out, and like any good flagship phone it's packing LTE. In fact, it's available on 4G right now, thanks to EE. The most interesting thing, however, is it'll also potentially support the other UK networks' 4G -- Vodafone calls it "4G-ready" -- but, there's one small issue: Only one of our UK 4G auction bands is actually supported.

For the old BlackBerry, a handset's camera was an ancillary feature. But the new hip BlackBerry is supposed to be tuned into how regular people — not just suits — use their phones. The BlackBerry Z10's camera has a chance to prove it's better than the rest. And if our initial low-light camera test is any indication, the camera is a complete failure. Read More >>
The Q10's physical keyboard may be the most notable feature in the new lineup, but the Z10 is BlackBerry's best shot at taking a share of the more prominent (at least for now), touchscreen market. So can the Z10 measure up to some of the its biggest contenders? Read More >>
