A positive review by Andrew Orlowski, on the excellent UK IT portal: The Register
Review: BlackBerry Q10 ? The Register

Some highlights:

"It does everything that a modern smartphone should do, but really excels as an integrated organiser and communications device"

"The progress from the first flakey BB10 just three months ago to BB10.1 in the Q10 is very impressive"

"In practice, the Q10 lasted well over a day of heavy usage. The phone only got warm during the initial setup phase, when it was pulling in email and indexing the contents for instant text retrieval, from multiple accounts."

The verdict:

"In a nutshell, the Q10 delivers everything RIM should have offered three years ago. I was surprised how much I got along with it. For all its quirks, the Q10 deserves high marks for ease of use and performance. The design and pricing are clearly high end, and it is intended to compete with the latest and greatest full touch devices on �35-�40 contracts. Yet people looking for a more practical device with a clear utility aren't well-catered for today. Not everybody wants or needs glitzy, high-spec techno porn. Nokia has recognised that need and I imagine with future models, BlackBerry can pull off the same trick. As it is, the Q10 offers a lot of convenience."
