BlackBerry 10 Sneak Peek Video. BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha Hands On! There's been a lot of talk about the BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha device leading up to BlackBerry World 2012 and the BlackBerry 10 Jam, including some leaked photos that we posted this past weekend of what we *believed* was the Dev Alpha device.
Turns out those early photos were the real deal, which we confirmed when we received an early hands-on look at the Dev Alpha device. Reminder: The Dev Alpha is not a BlackBerry 10 Phone. RIM has made this message loud and clear, but we'll repeat it once again for good measure before we give some thoughts on the device: BlackBerry Blade: a BlackBerry 10 phone that's too hot to be true! How to Install or Upgrade to a New RIM BlackBerry Operating System (OS)
Research In Motion (RIM) is constantly developing and testing new software and applications for your BlackBerry. Keeping up to date with the newest operating system (OS) software for your smartphone ensures that you have access to all the latest and greatest features and performance tweaks. With the official release of BlackBerry OS v4.5 on the horizon—various beta, or test, versions of the software are already bouncing around the Web—we thought this would be a great time for a BlackBerry OS tutorial. What follows is our step-by-step guide on how to upgrade your BlackBerry's OS, or install a different version, as well as how to prepare beforehand to make the process run as smoothly as possible. To start a new operating system install, you'll need your BlackBerry, an Internet-connected PC, a USB cable and about an hour and half of free time—50 minutes or an hour for the upgrade process and 30 minutes or catch-up time afterwards.
