I think these both look good and the multitasking and speed is excellent. But to me the new BB10 looks a bit cluttered and will be a little bit of a new learning curve for existing users. I am unsure if they will like it, time will tell.

I'm not sure about cluttered, but I'll know first hand next week tuesday as i'm going into store to purchase one.
The demand is huge online for USA users; its actually surprising.
I just noticed a huge error on the Q10 qwerty BB10 device above; sourced from RIM errr BlackBerry (which I think is very stupid for a product company to change their name to a brand that is in challenging times).
Notice how the minimized app of music is there on the right, and The Hub notifications in the middle? That HUB should be on the far left ... not messages.

It seems many people are in the know about it as two young men in Phones4U store today were asking about it.

Even though Gsmarena keeps cleaning those votes or hits it is, nonetheless, good to see BlackBerry being up there. The recent hits place BlackBerry second and third after the Sony Xperia Z. Sure, the hits don't necessarily mean more sales but hopefully a sizeable number of those who clicked on them do go out and buy them. I know I am getting a BB10 phone as soon as it arrives.
@Hardened
Don't delay on the review!!! Looking forward to reading it.

Personally I feel Z10 isn't bad at all. Sure it uses "only" dual core CPU but I don't think BB OS needs more than that. Finally a BB that is not behind the times

Quad Core in a phone is not needed if the OS is right. It's pure pointless overkill imo. WP8 does fine on dual core

Dups, I'm trying man ... official carrier release date in Canada is February 5th, yet on Kijiji and Craigslist a handful has shown up. I think this is the VERY first time I've had the cash to purchase a new smartphone and NOBODY has them long enough for me to meet with them! lol (I'm not paying more than the officially released $650CAN retail price for it, I'm no fool). February 5th - if in stock I'll post a new thread preliminary review with a follow-up as I learn more about it.

I agree completely! The dual-core on BB10 is even more adequate in that BlackBerry are the ones that are in charge of the OS where there are unlikely (at this stage in any case) to be fragmentation. It's not like Android where there are multiple manufacturers with low- to high-end phones with different processors.
@Hardened
I think we're getting the phone towards the end of February, so you are likely to get it first.
Just read the Phonearena review and it is really a poor review. I don't mind reviewers criticising but the way they did smacked of bias, it felt as though they had made up their minds based on the countless previews after launch.
Having written that, however, I still believe BlackBerry still has maybe three software update to make this a stunning OS.
