Unboxing BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha

Hands on with the phone you'll never see

Unboxing BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha

It's traditional when a new piece of hardware is released that we take unboxing photos.

The BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha will never be released to consumers, but it's so important to RIM - and clearly the company has spent a lot of time preparing for this release - that we couldn't let the opportunity go by.

So, despite it not being a consumer device, indeed, when it boots up, it thinks it's a BlackBerry PlayBook tablet, here are the usual spycam photos.

Personally, if it was a consumer device, I'd be all over it.


Dev Alpha comes immaculately packaged in a consumer box, including manual and headphones.


There's even a slip case.


Hmmm, what's this we see. A Qualcomm logo. Interesting as the PlayBook tablet used a Texas Instrument chipset.


Aha - the device itself, complete with a plastic bumper case.


I am actually holding Dev Alpha. In my hand. Amazing.


Here's the users guide.


Looks a bit like an iPhone 4S right?


Evalution unit. Not for resale.
