The all-touch BlackBerry L-Series smartphone expected to be formerly announced on January 30 has just leaked with Verizon’s branding.

Live pictures showing RIM’s BlackBerry L-Series device, also known as BlackBerry Z10, emerged a few days ago, but this is the first photo of a carrier-bound version.

According to BusinessInsider, the build quality of the Verizon BlackBerry Z10 is really nice and the back cover has been rubberized to offer a better grip on the phone.

The source of the leak included an iPhone 4S in the picture so we can have a better idea of what the Z10 will look like.

BlackBerry Z10 and its QWERTY sibling, the X10, will be officially introduced at the end of the month with sales commencing a few days after. Stay tuned for more info on the subject.
