BlackBerry Z10 once again caught in some high-res images for your viewing pleasure

I'm so excited about BB10... keep the pics coming!!!!

Nice, whoever has that Z10 knows a thing or two about photography...

One month left :D

In the 4th picture where you can see "not for sale", is the finish coming off? I love the matte look, but i'm worried it's similar to the rubbery back on a PB, which has been peeling back a little bit on the edges on mine.

And... physical keyboard?

BB 9780 7.1
Playbook 2.1

There is my Droid X. Sorry, I felt like being THAT guy for once.

Niiice. I am done looking a this device, though. I am so ready to touch it. But, a good touch.

Why is there a tiny photoshop blob or something there next to the 'not for sale' phrase? What exactly is it hiding being that small?

Niceeeeeeeeeeeeeee

There should be a PB on the background instead of an iPad :p

Once you get to 10,...you never go back!

JMD

would have looked better without that apple crap behind it

Those pix were taken at the most 2 days ago or even less judging by the blog post on the iPad, I think the specs must be 100% locked, now that its touring most of the high penetration countries!

Edit: Bah, it says Friday Dec 28 on the phone... how observant of me.. :/

Exactly! I was going to say (as I am right now), "What is that piece of crap its sitting on?"

Looking sooooo nice !! BB10 can't wait

Would love to have the new blackberry 10 have sync support for Mac done right out of the box

Also is order to migrate blackberry needs to make the transition easy for iPhone and
Android users to make them switch.

Having bbm is great but having cross IM apps like whatsup would be great but having the ability to send emoji that work both ways really helps make things easier. Windows phone 8 does this.

Come on blackberry make it easier for us to switch!

'Property of Research in Motion Limited, All Rights Reserved, Evaluation Unit......those are the only other things I see aside from Not for Sale or Lease. Is there something else that you are seeing?

the upper and lower bezel are too big......

I'd like to see some high resolution shots of an N-Series device, please...

Oh yes yes yes...like it. Anyone know a price? (in euro's)

We still don't know if this is the final version. I'll wait.

I think he took a picture of the Z10 with an Apple product, it looks like the reflection of the Apple symbol sideways.

Lmao ppl were complaining about the text messaging icon and how ugly it was, now it's changed and no one has mentioned it.

Fifth picture makes it look kind of thick. I guess it's just the angle and the glass reflection.

Bb10 FTW, and people keep complaining about the bezel, I'm pretty sure my iphone5 has a larger bezel used for nothing.

its getting closer and closer to the date and more pics are coming out..they must be getting ready for presentation indeed. still so far, so good with this product, i wonder what kind of band is wrapped around the side of the phone..plastic or metal?

Does the text message icon look...better, less square?

Anybody know how long to manufacture the end product and shipp? I understand they would probably air freight the phones. How many will the initial run be? 1Mil? 100 K? Spec have to be locked at this point.

Looks really really nice, can't wait to have it in my hands.

I have been seeing a lot of Apple bashing lately. The stock has been plunging lower, and I wanted to find out why this is all happening.

Sometimes, it's not what you know, but who you know that will get you some answers.

Today, I reached out to an acquaintance who is a divisional sales executive for one of the big carriers in North America. He agreed to answer a few questions that I had on the condition that I don't ask him anything that is confidential. So, here is what I got from him:

Question – What kind of phone are you currently using?
Executive – An iPhone 4S

Question – 4S? Why not iPhone 5?
Executive – There wasn't a big enough change from the 4 to the 5, so there was no reason for me to upgrade.

Question – Do you like it?
Executive – Yes, it's a great phone.

Question – What were you using prior to the iPhone?
Executive – BlackBerry Bold 9900

Question – Did you like it?
Executive – Yes, that was a good phone as well. Great keyboard.

Question – Then why did you switch to an iPhone?
Executive – I just needed a bigger screen, and the iPhone has it.

Question – What do you like about the iPhone other then the screen size?
Executive – I love the GPS tracking. It's something that I use ever day. It's very precise.

Question – Is there anything that you don't like about the iPhone?
Executive – I’m a heavy user, so the battery doesn't last me the day. I wish I was able to swap in a fresh battery mid day rather then having my phone hooked to the charger half the time.

Question – You had a chance to try the BlackBerry 10, what do you think of it?
(No word of a lie, but his voice turned to excitement and he was very quick to answer)
Executive – Hands down, it's going be the best phone on the market.

Question – Really? What did you like about it?
Executive – Many things. It's loaded with a lot of neat stuff that people will like, but for me, I really like the balance. It's like you will be able to play in 2 different sandboxes in the same park.

Question – Will you be switching from your iPhone to the BlackBerry 10 when it arrives?
Executive – The first day I can, I will switch to BB10.

Question – Are you going to get the one with the physical keyboard?
(He thought for 2 or 3 seconds before he answered this one)
Executive- I was so impressed with the screen keyboard, that I will be getting that one. I like having a big screen.

Question – What else did you like about it?
Executive – The new added functions to BBM are amazing. This alone will sell phones.

Question – How much will they cost?
Executive- We haven't been told about pricing, but a lot of it will be built into the contract price. We want to make it affordable to as many people as possible. I'm sure that a lot of other carriers will be doing that as well.

That is pretty much all I was able to get from him other then some small talk afterwards.

"NOT FOR SALE" Wonder if it's the developer limited edition device mentioned months ago?

BBM features things that other phones can't do. BBM really does some amazing things, Just wait until you see what bbm can do

I keep hearing things like that over and over again lol I'm so excited. BBM is finally reaching the potential it always had. This will be Rims ace card. It will be the features in BBM that make everyone go wow I have to have that phone!!!

Why does vietnam have every leak on all devices always?

Nobody noticed that the static calendar icon now corresponds with the date? This is gonna be close to if not the launch os. It still erks me that my PlayBook always says 31 and this has been true for BlackBerry10 up until these pics. RIM IS crossing T's and dotting I 's.

Damn, not liking the battery life on that phone....

Nothing an OS update won't solve!

Though this looks awesome but I can BET the Final thing will be much more sexier... much more attractive. I Bet!!

I swear this phone is very neat, very sharp and very good looking. I've been a Nokia user for a long time before I switched toblackberry and I must say, I don't regret ever using a blackberry.Even today, I find my blackberry bold 9900 more useful to me than Iphone models and Nokia lumia 920 (Even though I like Lumia 920). All blackberry phones seem to have a soul in them. They seem to come alive really (probably because of their service orientation). I never experienced that with other phones. There is a limit to the excitement caused by having 5 inch screens or 8 core cpu's. Functionality is what keeps a user to any product and of all the mobile devices I know, I give it to blackberry. Having an app store with 1 million apps is not the main thing either. It is the ability to utilize those apps for enhanced productivity as provided by the innate capabilities of that phone that really matters and blackberry scores it big there. Meanwhile I dislike samsung products (I really don't know why) its not for me! Any phone screen bigger than 4.5inches would mean I need a tablet and not phablet. The nearest in line to meet that need is the 7 inch tablet which ofcourse offers more freedom and power than a phablet IMO.

You guys at RIM, all I can say is...well done! This is one good mobile (Nokia pls don't get mad. Blackberry 10 is actually better for my needs). I have been following blackberry for the past 8 months all the way from Nigeria. This phone would do wonders for me.

Lovely mobile. Very good. This is definitely a winner for me.

Does anyone have any insight as to what looks like the Blackberry symbol in between the H and the signal indicator in the top right hand corner mean?

Please,

When will crackberry get to do the stress test for blackberry 10? You guys promised to do this sometime ago. What happened?

lol too funny. Still loving what we are seeing so far

Even with this iteration if not a final build I still think it looks great. Kudos for the excellent shots. I'm a numbers guy, I need the measurements on this gorgeous beast because I have a feeling it won't sit too well in my skinny jeans pocket. Here's hoping a holster is included.

Why this thing keep coming..?

Somebody has a sleep pill so I can sleep till 30 Jan..?

Can wait any longer..

On Xmas eve while talking on my trusty 9650, it was knocked from my hand and into the pool. I reacted instantly and grabbed the phone before it hit bottom. Sadly, it was too late. The screen was flickering away as I rushed to get the battery out. Dried it pretty well but she would never complete booting up. I get so sad looking at her.

I'm on the road and my wife is going to send me her ancient OS4 Curve that she just replaced with a Bold 9930 to keep us bbming until the Z hits. Her Curve is pink.

Bring on BB10!

someone leak the icon set !!!!!!!!!!

Roflmao, now that's dedication "shootsscores"!

I have taken the day off to stand in line for this one!

I'm under the impression that this is another dev alpha unit or dev beta unit.

It looks nowhere near the the retail production blackberry we keep thinking it is.

So... It's not final yet. It's subject to change.

I hope there's gonna be a way to get rid of the shadow boxes around the icons. Also, would've loved to see gunmetal-colored buttons instead of that shiny silver, but beggars can't be choosers :/.

Hmm.

Compared to the iPad, the BB10 looks very dark. I don't know if this is deliberate by the owner, or if the Z10 is compensating for the bright light but it looks very dark.
I really hope to see the same amount of brightness in Z10 as the PlayBook!

And as someone said, having the correct date in the calendar icon will be very convenient! :)

alea acta est.... the die is cast.... I´m a very enthusiastic physical keyboard addict.... but in comparision of Z10 and X10 my decision is (now) clear: Z10 rules! It seems to be the better (means "flagship") device in its specs and the much more beautiful device in its design! Now- come to germany...pronto!:-)

homie,
please let them be pre-production icons....please!!

This will be the greatest phone ever for RIM, what RIM need to do now is to capture back the market with a high end phone at a affordable price, capture the volume and you will get the numbers. Wonder when will my country will get the release.

The spot in the fourth photo looks just like the Apple logo, flipped 90 degrees and mirrored.
Oops, seems like you guys already noticed that...

I think I'm going to lose my mind! I want this now!
