It was built on QNX, with a modern swipe/gesture based UI built with Qt. </p><p>Arguably a better OS than the iOS and Android releases at that same time.</p><p>There was a feature called the Hub, which wax a unified inbox for your email messages, social posts, and text messages. Plus a modern app store, and separate personal/work profiles built into the OS.</p><p>There was a version without a physical keyboard (Z10) and with (Q10).</p><p>The problem is they didn't start working on it until 2010, and BB10 wasn't released until 2013.</p><p>For about two years before BB10 came out, BlackBerry didn't release any new phones.</p><p>Had BB10 come out earlier, it *might* have saved the company.</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Blackberry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Blackberry</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Crackberry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Crackberry</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/phones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>phones</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RetroComputing</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/smartphones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>smartphones</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/CellPhones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CellPhones</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Android" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Android</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/iOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>iOS</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/BB10" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BB10</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/blackberry10" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>blackberry10</span></a></p>
