We're reporting live from the BlackBerry 10 launch in London, where we expect the BlackBerry Z10 and BlackBerry X10 to be announced

It's BlackBerry 10 launch day and there's much to talk about.

Will the company reveal extra special features for this brand new operating system?

Will we see the BlackBerry X10 and BlackBerry Z10 on the stage?

We'll be covering all the action live from the London launch.

BlackBerry 10 is probably the most long-awaited launch from Canadian manufacturer RIM.

The BlackBerry Z10 is due to go on sale online from today and in store from January 31. Features are said to include a Qualcomm dual-core processor, 4G LTE connectivity and a 4.2-inch full touchscreen.

The BlackBerry Z10 will reportedly be Vodafone's first 4G handset and will be free on contracts costing £47 per month.

Alternatively, you can pay £229 upfront for the phone which will get you 100MB of data, 100 minutes and unlimited text and unlimited texts for £25 a month.

The BlackBerry X10 will feature a Qwerty keyboard, keeping to its business-focused roots.

Not much else has been announced around this device, but we expect it to feature a pretty high spec as it's one of the launch devices.

The BlackBerry 10 UI is a complete overhaul of RIM's previous operating systems, it's focused on multitasking with BlackBerry Peek and Flow gesture controls and a central messaging and notifications hub.
