14 DAY TRIAL // The BlackBerry Z10 has finally arrived in the United States. AT&T is the first carrier to offer the smartphone in the US, but Verizon and T-Mobile are to follow soon.
BlackBerry fans can now purchase the Z10 via AT&T for as low as $200/€155 with a new two-year agreement. Those who can afford the upfront cost will have to come up with no less than $550/€425 for BlackBerry Z10. Check it out here.
As we have mentioned earlier, T-Mobile USA and Verizon Wireless will also carry the Z10, leaving Sprint as the only major mobile operator in the country that will not offer the full-touch BlackBerry 10 smartphone.
However, Sprint has confirmed that their customers will be able to purchase the BlackBerry Q10 instead, though this will only happen in about a month from now.
Aside from the fact that they are equipped with chipsets manufactured by different companies and that one of them is packed with a physical QWERTY keyboard, the Z10 and Q10 are meant to offer a similar BlackBerry 10 experience.
The Z10 sports a large 4.2-inch capacitive touchscreen display that supports HD (720 x 1280 pixels) resolution, whereas the Q10 will pack a much smaller 3.1-inch display with 720 x 720 pixels resolution.
BlackBerry Z10 comes equipped with a 1.5 GHz dual-core Qualcomm MSM8960 Snapdragon processor, accompanied by an Adreno 225 graphics processing unit, while the Q10 comes packed with dual-core TI OMAP 4470 CPU similarly clocked at 1.5 GHz, which is complemented by a PowerVR SGX544 GPU.
Both phones embed 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal memory, which can be further expanded up to 64GB via microSD memory card.
On the back, each of the BlackBerry 10 devices boasts an 8-megapixel camera with autofocus, LED flash and full HD (1080p) video recording. Secondary front-facing cameras for video calls are included as well.
