The new Blackberry 10 operating system launched in the UK and Canada with the Z10 being the first handset available on the platform, and now it seems the Verizon BlackBerry Z10 release is closer after the device poses for the camera in a number of images.
We told you yesterday that the device had stopped by the FCC, and the release of the handset may be only a couple of weeks away as the guys over at CrackBerry have got hold of a number of images showing the Verizon version of the BlackBerry Z10.
Verizon has decided to place its branding on both the front and back of the device, and are the best images seen so far of the unreleased smartphone. On the top left corner on the front of the device the Verizon logo can be seen, and on the back both Verizon and LTE branding can be found.
Some Verizon customers will be annoyed at this move by the carrier, as there was a big uproar from some users when the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 first appeared with its Verizon home button. What will be more pleasing though is the fact for the time being the carrier will be the only one in the country offering the white model officially.
The handset is going to be priced at $199.99 by the carrier with a new two year contract, but currently no exact release date has been given for the Z10 although previously rumours suggested it could be held back to come with the release of the Q10, but by the look of things mid March is still looking good.
The BlackBerry Z10 uses the new BlackBerry 10 mobile operating system. The user interface of BB 10 is based on the concept of direct manipulation, using multi-touch gestures. Interaction with the OS includes gestures such as swipe, tap, pinch, and reverse pinch, all of which have specific definitions within the context of the BB10 operating system and its multi-touch interface.
The Z10 comes pre-loaded with: BlackBerry Hub, Contacts, BlackBerry Browser, BlackBerry Calendar, BBM, Text Messages, BlackBerry World, BlackBerry Remember, Docs To Go, Pictures, Music, Videos, Story Maker, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Foursquare, BlackBerry Maps, Games, YouTube, Voice Control, Weather, Clock, Calculator, Compass, File Manager, Box, BlackBerry Connect for Dropbox, Print To Go, Smart Tags, Settings, Android Runtime, Adobe Reader, Phone, Camera/Video Camera/Time Shift, Setup, Help, SIM Toolkit, Search.
The phone has a mobile hotspot functionality, which supports up to 8 devices, sharing its internet connection. It accesses the BlackBerry World, an online application distribution platform for the BlackBerry OS. The service allows users to browse and download applications, games, music, videos from the BlackBerry World store.
The touchscreen keyboard provides an advanced typing experience. It learns the user's writing style and suggests words to help the user type faster, more accurately and with the least amount of effort.
"The BlackBerry Z10 has an 8 megapixel camera on the back with autofocus and LED flash capable of shooting 1080p video, while there's a 2 megapixel camera on the front that shoots video at 720p". A unique feature in the Z10's camera app is TimeShift. "BlackBerry has been showing it off for a while, and it lets users dial back the time on certain pictures so that people aren't making less-than-ideal faces in it (like blinking mid-shot)."
The Z10 has Voice Control, that allows the user to operate the phone by spoken commands. Voice Control recognizes natural speech patterns, so that the user can talk naturally and always be understood. It can be used to send messages, compose emails, dictate documents, and search the phone just by speaking to the app.
