    Today we issued a software update for BlackBerry 10 smartphones that�s focused on your feedback. It�s already available from some carriers and we�re working closely with all our carrier partners to get it to you as soon as possible.

    It�s almost been a month since we officially unveiled the new BlackBerry 10 smartphones and many of you already have a BlackBerry Z10 in hand. You�ve been using it for weeks, and we�ve been listening to your feedback, and have been working on an update just for you. Here are just a few of the improvements you can expect after updating your software.

    3rd Party App Performance
    We�ve improved performance for 3rd party applications, so developers can build apps that run fast and smooth for you. With this update, you might want to keep an eye out for some fresh new app launches in March, like WhatsApp.

    Phone, Calendar, and Contacts
    Among the top improvements and features are fixes for Gmail calendars on BlackBerry 10. You�ll also find improvements in the BlackBerry Hub for logging calls log and how conversations are handled. We�ve also made general improvements to importing contacts from online sources.

    Camera
    We�ve optimized the camera for better photos in low-light situations. You�ll love the difference this makes for photos where you don�t use a flash � like the Time Shift Camera feature.

    Browser and Media
    With more and more of you using the gorgeous screen on the BlackBerry Z10 to consume online videos and media, we�ve made a number of improvements to the software in the way the browser handles video playback to provide a fantastic experience.

    Battery Life
    The software team has included a number of battery life optimizations with over 60 battery saving improvements since launch to keep you moving. These combined improvements are designed so that you see improvements in battery life and heavy users especially should see a longer average usage per charge cycle.

    How to update your software on BlackBerry 10
    Software is available over the air (OTA). Typically, you�ll get a notification about new updates, but you can manually check to see if it has been made available by your service provider and install it in a few simple steps.
    Settings> Software Updates> Check for Updates> � then follow the on screen steps to install.

    The download is approximately 150MB in size, so I recommend updating when connected to Wi-Fi.

    There you have it � the first OTA update to your BlackBerry 10 smartphone. We�ll be rolling out the update with all of our carrier partners around the globe over the coming weeks. Be sure to check it out when it�s available and let us know what you think in the comments below. Your feedback is always welcomed and we will continue to listen as we update and improve BlackBerry 10.

    The changes BlackBerry has made internally are amazing! They launched by far the best 1.0 software release in existence, they managed to get a ton of key apps, they updates super quick and fixed some of the biggest issues people were facing (namely, Google calendar sync), and the icing on the cake? A change log!

    That is amazing! The Windows Phone team should learn a thing or two from these guys! Good job, Blackberry!

    BBRY Waterloo HQ.... I hope you are reading this.

    If this is the future of the NEW BlackBerry, one where they listen to users, and implement changes swiftly, and connect with their users.......

    I know I speak for many when I say that "WE ARE MIGHTILY IMPRESSED"

    Yeah I know bell hasn't released it but I thought that OTA meant it bypassed carriers

    No carrier subsidized phone will ever be able to bypass carriers. Not BB10, not Windows Phone, not Android. The only exception is iOS (in fact, carriers are tripping over each other to carry it).

    OTA just means Over The Air, meaning you don't need to connect your phone to a computer to update.
