But obviously he’d rather lots of people bought the Z10 before he tells us any more about it. The quotes come from an interview with Cnet, in which Heins said the [...]]]> http://www.gizmodo.co.uk/2013/03/blackberry-boss-reveals-plan-to-take-bb10-to-another-level/feed/ 7 http://www.gizmodo.co.uk/2013/03/blackberrys-ceo-says-the-iphone-is-outdated/ http://www.gizmodo.co.uk/2013/03/blackberrys-ceo-says-the-iphone-is-outdated/#comments Mon, 18 Mar 2013 14:30:59 +0000 Eric Limer http://www.gizmodo.co.uk/?p=151246 With the launch of the last-chance Z10 around the corner for the rest of the world, BlackBerry is giving itself a pep talk to keep those hopes high despite not exactly doing great on our shores.

The Z10 is its shot to stop its considerable bleeding and shut everyone up. But launching a brand new OS with brand new hardware isn’t easy. And it’s even harder to match expectations when both have been delayed again and again.   What Is It?

In fact, it’s available on 4G right now, thanks to EE.
