Alright, listen up carefully to this one. OS 10.2.0.483 has leaked for the both the BlackBerry Z10 and the BlackBerry Q10 (check your specific device model in the forums) but this one comes with a few extra cautionary measures and install instructions. First step, you need to download the developer version of BlackBerry 10.2 for your respective device from the BlackBerry developer site, install it and set it up to the point where you're past all of the tutorials. This will wipe your device entirely. Second step, you'll need to download the OS only file loader for 10.2.0.483 and install it and once again, complete the set up process. You'll then be on OS 10.2.0.483.
Keep in mind, this is a very beta leak and it will superimpose your BlackBerry PIN on your device display. There is no way to remove this as long as this OS is installed. If you're not fine with that, move on. This isn't something you want to install or use. Also keep in mind, some things are not going to work properly at all times. If you're not fine with that, move on. Don't install this. In short, if you rely on your device and always need it working, you might want to pass on this and of course, you can't blame us if you break your device. You install this at your own risk.

BlackBerry OS 10.3.1 rollout has officially begun
Now the REAL waiting begins.
The Beta Test is Over.
New BlackBerry CEO John Chen has already proven to be a very pragmatic leader, willing to make difficult decisions in order to keep the company afloat. He has said on many occasions that he'll exit the handset segment entirely if it proves to be in the best interest of the company, but has also made it clear that it's among the last things he wants to do.
