The BlackBerry Z10 always looked set for success, as it is the first device to release running the new BlackBerry 10 OS. However although it has already hit the shelves in some regions, Such as the UK and Canada, it has yet to launch widely on the major US carriers.
Today though we have news about the unlocked BlackBerry Z10 for the US, the price of which has realistically fallen and is available now.Recently we gave readers information about the BlackBerry Z10 being launched on AT&T and also T-Mobile launch news. On AT&T the phone will cost $199.99 on the usual two-year contract or $549.99 with no contract and is expected to arrive around March 22.
However you don’t need to wait as long as that as MVNO Solavei already made the BlackBerry Z10 available in the US last month on PAYG at the rather exorbitant price of $999.99, although that has now been cut rather drastically.Solavei seems to have seen sense and the price of the BlackBerry Z10 unlocked is now $689, although this is still more expensive than AT&T’s no-contract price.
We should point out that although this is sold as an unlocked device it does come pre-configured with Solavei Internet and MMS settings. For that money you’ll get the Z10 with its 1.5GHz Snapdragon dual-core processor, 4.2-inch display with resolution of 1280 x 768, 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage, expandable via microSD. There’s also an 8-megapixel rear camera, 2-megapixel front-facing camera, LTE connectivity and NFC support.
On 1 May 2012, Thorsten Heins, CEO of BlackBerry officially unveiled the BlackBerry 10 platform. The features shown off at the BlackBerry World conference included a unique platform-wide flow interface, a new intelligent keyboard, as well as a camera app which allows the user to adjust the photo or individual faces by moving through time scale to optimize picture quality.
The user interface also includes the ability to run 8 "Active Frames". Active Frames are applications that are currently running within the operating system, but minimized. Some are capable of showing a feed of live information on the home screen.The Operating System also features the 'Hub', a list accessible from anywhere in the OS where all notifications including emails, social networking sites and text messages in one complete list.It eliminates the home button that are found in iOS and Android systems.
