BlackBerry Q10 now available for pre-order in the UK, shipping by the end of April
We’ve already told you that BlackBerry Q10 will soon be available in the UK and voila… you are now able to pre-order your unit and get it before other CrackBerry addicts. The unlocked device will go for whipping 579.95 GBP (about $880), or you can get it for free with a carrier contract from Vodafone, O2, Orange, T-Mobile, Three, EE and TalkMobile. As I’m writing this, the Q10 could be yours without upfront payments with plans starting at 36 GBP per month. Still kinda expensive but we’re confident the price … Read more

BlackBerry 10 Jam kicks off in Belgrade, Serbia
Today I’m attending BlackBerry’s developer event in Belgrade, Serbia, which is organized by the company’s Balkan developer network. Even though the Canadian company was losing market share in the last few years, they’re eager to tell everyone they’re a different company now, one that has a brand new platform to compete in today’s market. We had a chance to watch the live demo of select BlackBerry 10 features, including the sexy-new UI called Flow with the “Peak” preview capability, TimeShift camera mode (licensed from Scalado, as far as I’ve understood) … Read more

We’ve already told you about BlackBerry’s plans to launch a total of 6 devices this year, one of them being the R10. Well, that device — or at least some phone from the “R-Series” — has been caught in the wild as you can attest from the image above. We don’t have all the details yet, but we’re likely talking about a lower-end model that will pack 8GB of internal storage, less RAM (1GB?) and the full QWERTY keyboard below the screen. In addition, it is said that the device … Read more

BlackBerry 10 tells your BBM buddies when you’re watching porn
Your brand new BlackBerry Z10 is by default telling your BBM contacts what you’re listening and watching. While that can be cool, it can also be dangerous as you may not want to tell everyone when you’re watching some NSFW material. Everything’s cool as long as you’re visiting YouTube, but once “Tube” is turned into “Porn” (or you visit some other website with such material), your life could potentially change in a dramatic way. Worry not my friend, there’s an easy way to turn off this nasty feature and keep … Read more

The newly launched BlackBerry Z10 and Q10, which will be available soon, won’t be the only devices running BlackBerry 10 for long. According to a leaked roadmap, the Canadian company is preparing to launch a total of 6 devices this year. So in addition to the two announced phones, we should see 4 additional models.

BlackBerry Q10 coming to O2 UK
We’ve already heard that BlackBerry Q10 is coming to the UK and now we have the first carrier announcing plans to sell it. It’s O2, which wowed to start offering the QWERTY keyboard-equipped smartphone at some point in May. Price was not unveiled but knowing that the unlocked unit will (at least initially) go for 530 GBP, we tend to believe O2 will give away the Q10 to anyone willing to sign-up for a two-year contract with around 30 GBP/month tariff. The BlackBerry Q10 sports a 3.1-inch 720×720 pixels touchscreen, … Read more
