BlackBerry Z10 and Q10 Smartphones Make Big Debut
It's crucial that the BlackBerry 10 OS and the new phones strike paydirt
BlackBerry, which previously called itself Research In Motion, yesterday unveiled two new smartphones that it hopes will aid its efforts to return to favor with consumers and business users. One phone, dubbed the BlackBerry Z10, features a full touch screen - no QWERTY keyboard on this one. The 4.2-inch display has a pixel density of 356 per inch, compared to the iPhone's 326ppi density. The other, dubbed the BlackBerry Q10, includes a full keyboard similar to those on older versions of the BlackBerry.
Both devices include 4G LTE capabilities. Verizon Wireless said it will offer both phones to its customers. The Z10 will be available for $199.99 with a two-year contract in either black or white models. The white version is exclusive to Verizon, the company said. The BlackBerry Z10 will hit several markets by early February, but U.S. buyers will have to wait a bit. Along with Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile will also offer the phone. Carriers will soon announce their plans for the devices. The phone will retail for $199 with a contract or sell for $599 unsubsidized, the company said.
