Blackberry has unveiled the new mobile phone it hopes will revive its fortunes and take on Apple - and the Z10 looks just like an iPhone.

The handset, along with a second more 'traditional' BlackBerry model, go on sale in the UK tomorrow, and elsewhere in the world next month.
The Z10 device has a touch screen but no 'middle button' while the Q10 has a Qwerty keyboard for 'the best typing experience on smartphone'.

Chief executive Thorsten Heins, who also announced that the firm is changing its name from RIM to BlackBerry, said: 'We have been on a journey of transformation... We intend to lead the move from mobile communication to mobile computing.'
But the handset maker was immediately accused of 'copying' the iPhone's design and software with its BB10 operating system.

The Z10 will be available in black and white - just like Apple's iPhone 5

Twitter users led the complaints, with comments ranging from 'ripoff' to 'carbon copy', while other said the handsets bore a 'striking resemblance' to each other.
Launching the two handsets in New York, Mr Heins said: 'It's been one year since I was handed the reins, and it has been challenging, but exhilarating,' said Mr Heins.
'Now, finally, here we are - Blackberry 10 is here'
