There are a little over three weeks left until Canadian mobile phone maker Research In Motion makes its new BlackBerry 10 operating system official, along with the first smartphones to run under it, and some more info on the matter is now available.

According to a post on Business Insider, the first BlackBerry 10 smartphones will have a great build quality, while featuring a rubber back and replaceable batteries, along with a high-resolution screen, and great performance capabilities.

The OS was built for speed as well, it seems, with fast browsing capabilities, fast boot time and the possibility to keep your personal and work lives separate on the same device.

Even so, the news site suggests that RIM will have a lot to work to ensure that its new platform and devices are received well, due to the increasing competition from Android and iOS.

Blackberry is way overdue! Five years ago Blackberry had took over the market for cell phones and now Apple iphones and Samsung Galaxy has taken over the market. I carried my my Blackberry for the past 4 years until Blackberry phones go to so slow and last year in June I switched to the Samsung Galaxy 2. You got to stay on top of the technology if you going to stay competitive!

I'm still using my BlackBerry Bold, I had an Android based and an iPhone, but in the end there was uniqueness about BlackBerry which drew be back and now I am even more excited about BlackBerry 10.

Can't wait for BB10. Going to buy two of them once they get released. Its powerful QNX OS is one of a kind and Google feels threatened IMO. I can see RIM taking back market share from iOS, but it will be difficult to strip away people from Android, though still possible. BlackBerry 10 should also easily outperform and outsell Windows Phone, they IMO don't have what it takes to compete, BB10 is just so much better. BB10's OS is fluid, runs like water, smooth and responsive. Can't Wait…
