Thanks to BlackBerry (BTW, they are no longer calling themselves RIM – Research in Motion), I was invited to the launch of BlackBerry Z10. Here are some pictures and videos of the BlackBerry Z10.<\/p>\n

There are two colors to choose during launch (7th March 2013). They are the White and the Black color. The picture above is the white color BlackBerry Z10.<\/p>\n

Here is one more front view shot without the screen turn on.<\/p>\n

From the close up, you can see that it is not the retail side.<\/p>\n

Sorry I did not take the back as it was attached with the alarm cable. Here is the top and bottom view.<\/p>\n

Top View<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

As you can see, there is only one power on button and the 3.5mm earphone jack port.<\/p>\n

Side view<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This is the volume rocker switch.<\/p>\n

The volume down button acts as the shutter button for the camera.<\/p>\n

Software<\/span><\/h2>\n

You may have noticed that the BlackBerry Z10 has NO physical button except for volume and power on. The rest of the function are actually based on gestures.<\/p>\n

As the BlackBerry 10 is a new OS, it takes a little while to get used to. I believe once you get used to the OS, it will be a breeze to open up the applications or browse around the phone.<\/p>\n

I did a short video on the OS.<\/p>\n
