BlackBerry Z10 dummy model with Verizon branding spotted

Wow cant wait!!!! #BB10Believe

I hope there's a way to remove that branding.

$50 is too much Bla1ze considering it's an obvious scam. The same site is offering iphone 4's for 92 cents,lol. Just think, a shipping container at 92 cents each, sell them and buy "real" Z10's when they come to market,lol.

Wanna go splits on a shipping container Bla1ze, lol?

Cool.

On another note...does anyone else experiencing CrackBerry content aligned to the right?

I don't get paid to advertise their Brand.

I guess Verizon is now mandating that its smartphone line has one oversized Verizon branding and one oddly placed Verizon branding (galaxy note 2) on them...

Cant wait to get this phone. I dont care about the logo. No one will see it while I hold it anyways.

So far it looks nice. I still wish they used the whole dimension of the cell to make a larger screen. Currently have the Torch 9850 which is the first full touch screen. So this should be a better experience especially being a whole new OS. Cant wait. Funny, Verizon as large as they are as a company have not set out pre-orders nor have advertised the BB10 line at all in Verizon. Matter of fact the people in Verizon seem to be getting paid to push iphones then Blackberry and they always say Blackberry suck. Im thinking...and you have an iphone for simple minds right?

BB10 all the way!

What the hell is happening!, Keving I'm bad aligned! fix me!

vzw branding is going to be on the front and back?

4G LTE BABY!!

LOVE IT!! CANT WAIT!!!

can't wait!! been counting down the days!!

have a look at the logo - that looks pretty bad. what the hack have they done to the material - it just looks as cheap as always!

Blackberry please do not use plastic imitating metal!

I got Ocean front property in Arizona for sale. Any takers? .10 a sq ft lol

I still cant get over the logo being in the center... Ironically, it looks out of place

what a nasty branding! Im glad my carrier doesnt do branding

i'm a little puzzled why people seem to think that the blackberry 10 will go on sale jan. 30th...all they are going to do is announce it but i don't expect it to hit the market until sometime mid to late feb....that's how it is with most announcements of consumer electronics...i know the crackberry forums will be littered with disappointments when it does...

...as for the branding fiasco...this is NOT new so why are people making it out to be such a nuisance on the new phone? it's not like it hinders the performance or anything...oddly enough i didn't notice my bold 9700 had a carrier logo at the bottom of it until all these articles began to point it out for bb10 so i checked to see if mine had it....go figure.

Too bad still No SKYPE ! I felt like hiding my BB 9900 when my GF is skyping or uses Viber calls with her friends!just jumped to Iphone temporarily . I am a BB fun But I just lost faith over BB with skype . Hope this will be settle soon so I can come back to BB World .

For the simple face that I'm sure BlackBerry will make their own back covers just like they have done for a lot of their phones.

Well, luckily, since the back is removable, you just buy a new backing which shouldn't cost too much, max of $50 extra at launch.
Unlike iPhones which you can't remove anything

Why are so many people complaining about the logo so much? Don't people buy cases these days, which will hide the logo and such completely.

I think without the BB and the Carrier logo at the front. it would look better. Just do the way the HTC 8X and iphone does it

The branding...it burns....

Devices without logo retain their re-sale value better. Although, I have heard that these logo's are fairly easily removed.

This Just in - All CANADIAN carriers WILL have the NEW BB10 in stock comes January 31st 2013. - First come, first served - Seeing of BB10 is estimated to start 1 week later.

Hopefully retailers will get working demos, not these dummy models.

RIM needs people trying out the device, not looking at a fake one.

Please tell me why they need branding on the front AND back... :(

C'mon Verizon, dump the cheapo looking logo!!
Anyone spotted custom battery covers for the Z10 yet? Look's like I'm gonna need one.

ok i see blackberry i going to get one maybe two

appeaed is missing an "r". what? no auto correct on this model? LOL

1.There's the option to change the body,
2.I dont see why people are still crazy over skype,whats up with faceflow? isnt it good enough??
ive stop worrying about skype or oovoo now since i learned of faceflow

The branding 100% destroys the beauty of this phone

Pay full retail and no branding! That's us with no choice

What are the confirmed specifications of the Blackberry Z10 ?

anybody wants a brand trademark to buy? people over here complaining too much about something not on the market yet? anybody?

Well I hope there is not only dummy devices. We need working in store models for people to play around it. Like iphones and gs3. Currently only the lower end models only have dummys

Very interesting that the dummy phone does not show you the icon screen. I am still hoping for a pleasant surprise.

Looks awesome. Even if its a dummy model.

Hmmm unless they changed it don't RIM dummy units usually have 12:21 as the time?

After seeing the Verizon logo hideously engraved on the Galaxy Note II's Home button nothing looks quite as bad.

Im glad you guys appriciated the source of this post!
Great job here Bla1ze

Are they gonna use Gorilla Glass or something similar? It's nice not having to worry about small scratches on my iPhone 5

Monkeys could do a better job of photoshopping. Images are more fake than Pam Anderson's breasts.

We're almost there! Now all I want to know is if Sprint will have the BB Z10 at launch. Otherwise, I'm JUMPING SHIP to Verizon because I've been eligible for an upgrade for over a year in a half waiting on this phone to come out! -100%-

Ugly! Looks like an old Motorola with a BB logo! Unattractive! :(

Verizon needs to stop there b.s.....dont nobody need to c that big logo

Dummy models always appear cheap. But yea, the VZ logo on the front and back is too much.

LOOK ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, I HEAR FROM SITE TO SITE EVERYONE COMPLAINING ABOUT WHAT APP THEY THINK they're not going to see on the bb10 and the phone isn't out yet, and on top of that you are all thinking small, why do we have to go with only the apps that are out now , why cant we be looking for new ad fresh apps and ideas, LIKE THE PHONE ITSELF(BB10), I HERE AAAWW ITS NOT GOING TO HAVE SKYPE?! O M G. REALLY , IF RIM THOUGHT LIKE THAT WOULD HAVE JUST SLAPPED THAT DAMN BS OS ANDROID ON IT , YOU HAVE TO THINK AHEAD IN A WAR IDIOTS, FIRST WAIT TO SEE WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO GIVE US, AND IF THE FAVORITE APPS OF YOURS AREN'T on the bb10 its not RIM's fault, they reached out to everyone, if a company(apple) is paying that company not to develop their app for BB10, then they will just creat a different and better app to do the same thing plus more

They should offer a bling model with chrome or brushed nickel accents and a nice leather back. BB -Escalade.

I just email my Verizon rep about when I get a hold of one of their test units. He said in his system it shows that the phone isn't coming out until April time frame. So they should have a demo unit a few weeks prior. I hope he is just missinformed

I sold off my GN2, and banked the cash while the money was good. For now I am waiting to see how things shape up on next BB's and see what they actually carry and how they perform. Just not as easy to recoup your investment like the days of old.
