BlackBerry Q10 arrives in the US in June. Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile detail their launches
The BlackBerry Q10 was announced alongside the Z10 all the way back in January. The Q10 is the first BlackBerry 10 smartphone to have a physical QWERTY keyboard (but definitely not the last, as the Q5 unveiled today has proven). It’s been out in the UK for a few weeks now, but not so in [...]
BlackBerry Q5 officially announced as the affordable device we’ve known as the R10 or R-series
After quite a number leaks over the past few weeks, the BlackBerry R-series smartphone, the one we thought would be called R10, is now official. Only it’s actually been named the BlackBerry Q5. So there goes everyone’s assumption that the ’10′ in Z10 and Q10 stands for the OS version they both run. The Q5 [...]
BlackBerry R10 leaks again, this time in black, alongside full spec list
The BlackBerry R10 is an upcoming affordable smartphone from the Canadian company formerly known as RIM. It’s going to complement the just launched Q10 well in BlackBerry’s portfolio, both devices being graced with physical QWERTY keyboards and thus sporting that classic BlackBerry form factor. But while the Q10 is the top spec handset, the R10 [...]
Red BlackBerry R10 gets caught on camera
Remember that affordable BlackBerry 10-running smartphone with a full physcial QWERTY keyboard that is supposedly launching in the second half of this year? It’s been known so far as the R-series, but it may as well get released as the BlackBerry R10 (which is what we’ll call it from now on, until we’ll find out for sure [...]

The Q10 may arrive in the UK this weekend, but it will [...]

The BlackBerry Q10 is almost ready to hit shelves around the world – three months after the Z10 was launched.

Here’s a great deal in case you’d like to purchase a BlackBerry Z10. The first device to run the new BlackBerry 10 operating system has been available for a while now, but all the carriers are asking you for $199.99 if you want to get one. However, now there’s a way to effectively get a [...]
New affordable BlackBerry 10 smartphone coming in the second half of the year?
BlackBerry has unveiled only two BB 10 smartphones until now, and both are high-end devices: one sporting a large touchscreen (Z10), and one featuring a full QWERTY keyboard paired with a smaller touchscreen (Q10). The company’s third handset this year might be an entry-level one. According to Indonesian website Ihaini, the upcoming BlackBerry is part [...]

Just like AT&T, which is selling the Z10 since March 22, Verizon is asking $199.99 for it (new 2-yr contract agreement required).

BlackBerry Q10 coming soon to the UK
While the BlackBerry Z10 is already widely available in the UK (and should be introduced in the US before the end of the month), the Q10 can’t be purchased anywhere in the world at the moment. But the Q10 is also headed to the UK, that’s for sure. We don’t know exactly when, though. However, [...]
Someone just ordered 1 million BB10 devices from BlackBerry
BlackBerry just got its highest ever single purchase order from a mysterious partner. Mysterious, in that the Canadian company simply won’t say who it is – just that it’s an “established partner”. So it’s a company that BlackBerry has done business with in the past, possibly on a regular basis. Fine, that still doesn’t help [...]
BlackBerry Z10 will be available at Verizon on March 28, pre-orders start tomorrow
A couple of days ago AT&T decided to announce its release time frame for the BlackBerry Z10. And today Verizon simply couldn’t wait any longer and did the same thing.

The One Thing iOS Got Right, Android Does Decently, and BlackBerry 10 Got VERY Wrong!
Before I even begin, I will just say that in case you didn’t know, this is an opinion piece, my opinion. The topic of this post is up for debate and I am going to be explaining my take, but it is by no means written in stone. A smartphone is a super personal device [...]
New all-touch BlackBerry 10 device (not the Z10) coming to Sprint this year
The BlackBerry Z10 isn’t coming to Sprint. We’ve known that much for about a week now. The Now Network is the only one of the ‘big four’ US carriers that has chosen this path, but apparently it isn’t snubbing all-touch BlackBerry 10 devices altogether. In an interesting development, Sprint is apparently set to release a [...]
No-contract BlackBerry Z10 now costs $689 in the US
Remember how Solavei became the first in the US to sell the new BlackBerry Z10? The MVNO launched the handset last month (on Pay As You Go), asking a hefty $999 for it. Now – with the Z10 also headed to AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon – Solavei has come to its senses and lowered the [...]
AT&T BlackBerry Z10 in stores on March 22 for $199.99, pre-orders start tomorrow
Today T-Mobile launched the BlackBerry Z10, but you can only get it if you’re a business customer. If you aren’t, you’ll need to wait some more – it should be out for everyone at the magenta carrier before the end of the month. But there isn’t a specific date yet. Not so at AT&T, though. [...]
T-Mobile BlackBerry Z10 launching on March 11 for business customers. Q10 could arrive in May

However, Reuters is reporting that T-Mobile has unveiled it’s going to start selling the BlackBerry Z10 on March 11 for business customers, and before the end of the [...]
BlackBerry won’t make $60 smartphones, CEO says. BlackBerry 10 update for the PlayBook confirmed
If you’ve been anxiously waiting for BlackBerry (formerly known as RIM) to get into the business of making and selling extremely cheap smartphones, here’s some bad news. BlackBerry CEO Thorsten Heins is categorically against such a move, saying “this is not BlackBerry”. We’re talking about supposed $50 to $60 devices for ‘emerging markets’ such as [...]
