The Q10 is a full QWERTY keyboard phone with 3.1-inch 720p touchscreen, a 1.5GHz dual-core TI OMAP 4470 processor, 2GB of RAM, NFC, microSD slot and 8-megapixel camera.

The Blackberry share(BBRY) are up 9 cents, or 0.6%, at $14.91 following a report from Macquarie Capital’s Kevin Smithen. Smithen is “incrementally more positive,” he writes, based on the prospect the Q10 smartphone, which went on sale a week ago Friday, could be a bigger seller than the Z10 released at the end of January. The Q10 is BlackBerry’s version of its handset running the BB10 operating system that comes with a physical keyboard, as opposed to the all-touch-screen Z10.

We also have the opinion that Blackberry users mostly are business user, in which a physical keyboard is the one they after for productivity.
