BlackBerry Z10 Announced

Here we are with the official unveiling of the BlackBerry Z10 which was announced at the event in New York City (which we happen to be covering live over here). It does seem as though a UK retailer will be making available the BlackBerry Z10 available from tomorrow onwards. So far, what do we know about the BlackBerry Z10? For starters, the rather gorgeous 4.2″ display will come with 356 ppi pixel density that will clearly place it on the same page as that of the “Retina Display” category.

Other than that, RIM has claimed that the BlackBerry Z10 will come with deeper Facebook integration than ever before (thanks to the BlackBerry 10 operating system of course), with a back surface that is far stronger than traditional plastic, not to mention superior browsing performance. The virtual keyboard is said to deliver a decent “BlackBerry” experience, and so far our initial impressions of it have been nothing short of glowing, sporting the right suggestions whenever you type swiftly despite making some typos along the way.

A bunch of secondary buttons have also been deemed to be vestigial by RIM, namely, they are no longer necessary so that the keys will be larger and easier to type. Good thing BlackBerry 10 will also offer support for multiple languages without missing a beat. Do you think that RIM has a winner on their hands with the BlackBerry Z10?
