First look at the BlackBerry Q10 in white!

A first look at the highly-anticipated and ultra-hot WHITE BlackBerry Q10. The Q10 is the first BlackBerry 10 phone to feature a full qwerty keyboard. The photos were taken at a party in low lighting, but if you're waiting on the Q10 they will get you salivating.

A few lucky fans attending tonight's New York City BlackBerry 10 fan event received an early sneak peek of the BlackBerry Q10 in white. The white Q10 emerged from the pocket of BlackBerry's new Chief Marketing Officer Frank Boulben, who was happy to let it pose for a few photos.

There is no debating it. The BlackBerry Q10 in white is SMOKING HOT. I like the look of the Q10 in black too -- be sure to check out our two hands-on videos from earlier today -- but there's something about the Q10 in white that is just oh so right. One more photo below for your viewing pleasure. Check it out!

Cap_172R

haha...good one. The white loooks amazing though i must say.

Ashley Ang

April is when the Q10 comes out.

SK122387

He just carries that around?!? Everyone from BlackBerry needs to leave the U.S. before I find them and cry to them in person, and beg to just HOLD their phone for one minute! Pictures like this make the wait for us unlucky Americans harder than ever. Keep them coming though.

GameBoi

The Q10 doesn't look good in white IMO, but maybe I need better photos or see it in person. The Z10 looks great in white tho.

AtInsider

Not sure about white either, but I am sure some people will like it. Z10 for me in Jet Black.

All these pictures of BB10 are cool. If only I could get one in America...

panterarck

Maybe if we start burning down carrier stores throughout the US they might get the point and hurry their lazy butts up. Maybe leave a big sign saying "How many more stores must burn before we get our BB10"

camera531

The Wall Street Journal confirmed that Blackberry didn't get phones to the US carriers until just a couple of weeks ago. It takes 6 to 8 weeks for testing, so that clearly falls into this scenario. They DID NOT get the phones for testing last fall (like Blackberry apparently falsely stated). They really, REALLY dropped the ball on this one. The event was in NYC, they've been talking about the extreme importance of LTE for a year and are about to release a $4 million Superbowl commercial - AND THEY SCREW ALL OF THEIR US CUSTOMERS. 2 MONTHS LATE!!! Really inexcusable!

Kennedy.L

You are taking the word of a WSJ journalist regarding when BlackBerry got its phone to carriers?

camera531

Given the fact that I have to wait until the end of March to get the Z10, which should be available like NEXT WEEK, I'm actually inclined to believe the WSJ report.

mrskycar

I don't care anymore. I am just going to bite the bullet and get the phone unbranded, unlocked.

THBW

You are just spewing nonsense. Both RIM and the carriers confirmed the receipt of the phones in early October. Or was that just some big conspiracy. Final hardware was likely received a couple of weeks ago in accordance with inventory control procedures. I suspect they are holding back in the US market to build up their advertising. It's going to take a bit more than a launch in New York City to sway Americans back to blackberry. Sort of a Duh if you ask me.

camera531

Wow, you're just a genius. Try educating yourself and reading a little about this before making idiotic comments.

Oscar_E

Dude, the carriers received the Dev alphas for testing last fall, not the final hardware, so chill !!

G-bone

True. But you can bet if it was an American company it would be in your hands already...

Sayin...

They're made in North America, but somehow the UK and Canada have the devices before the USA?

If US carriers aren't selling the devices until March, it's because that is what US carriers want.

Just like when the original Storm was released far too early. Because Verizon needed it early.

Contrary to what you read in the blogs, the carriers rule the smart phone market - and if they want BlackBerry 10 to be a success it will be. (Barring it being completely useless that is).

mrskycar

This I agree with. I just hope with the 'delay' Verizon actually commits itself to the product.

belleg

That's not true... Verizon has had Z10 since September...

jnguyen2

Did anyone manage to see what the back looked like?

FuzzyFish

I asked Bla1ze this on Twitter, he said it has a white glass weave back.

sibeans

Is the face of the q10 made of glass weave as well????

ddlax22

No the front is white glass and the metal band around the side.

CDN_BB10_Fan

Have seen high res photos of the white version and it looks like the back cover is made of different material (dimpled) than the black one.... Can anyone verify this?

randall2580

I'm shocked, shocked to find out Kevin liked the white QWERTY (your white Q10 sir - oh thank you).

Kevin Michaluk

hahahahha... this made me laugh. you know i love me some white qwerty.

 

gabedabomb

Will VZ get an exclusive on this, just like they do the white Z10? If so, that would be terrible. (am on a grandfathered AT&T family plan).

FuzzyFish

Hmmm, I love my white 9900 but I'm not really feeling this white Q10 for some reason...

dannyd86

I'm going z10 in black. By summer time I might switch over to this in white though. Depends how the full touch experience settles on me.

sibeans

I'm sold! Sprint, please carry the q10 in white!

toneytone

White on white on white

romulusiulian

Looks great, but I still prefer the black one. But I have to wait until April to get it. this is kind of sad for me. :(

erekshun

Is there any explanation as to why we have to wait until March while the rest of the planet gets it next week?

G-bone

Just buy this sht...

jordandrews90

I'd like to see the Black Q10 with the metal band around it. Since it's stainless steel I'm worried it will have the same problem as the black iphone5. But I love it either way :)

jetstreamblue

It won't. The iPhone uses the metal band as its antenna. On BlackBerry, the band is just cosmetic, the antennas are internal and signals pass easily through the plastic casing.

collinc93

rrroooh? Like Scooby Doo...the qwerty wasnt this the one panned by all and sundry when the first leaked pics came out? TOLD YA!!!!! :)

j0mamajt

Reservation system for Rogers is up for Q10!

Cap_172R

only in black though... says "N/A" for the reservation fee though.

cloverappz

If there is arc between keys, maybe more beautiful.

togardergrosse

They tried to make it as close as the virtual keyboard looks like as possible.
Me too prefers the old 9900 style layout. But it's time for a change :)

Hibbylinx81

This looks good..from the sound of things the build quality trumps that of the Z10 easily..but I'd hav love if the screen was made bigger, even on this build!

Couver81

So pretty!

Hopefully the white launches on carries at the same time as the black in April.

jonnybb

So Kevin, I know that you will have them both Q10 and Z10, but honestly which one do you like more?

mavricxx

BlackBerry should come out with different colors, girls in particular like pink not to mention it makes them look hotter with a pink phone lol. I personally would like to see red and maybe even a navy blue and silver.

BlackBerry9930

It's amazing!! But I like it in black more!!

luis3590

So, why is it that the Z10 has so much black on the front? The white Q10 makes it obvious that the bezel can be white without affecting the gestures. Not that I really care, but I think it's weird that the white Q10 is actually white and the white Z10 has so much black on the front.

slagman5

I don't get the hype for the white phones. What is it, and iphone?? It looks great in black, and won't get dirty...

BlackQnX

white or black i'm buying two. one for the wife and one for myself also getting the white Z10 for myself

BB10 for Life

joseanmx

Ugly. As ugly as white 9900.

BBbabe86

Oh my goodness. I have not used a BB device since the torch and i really want the q10 when it comes out. Im totally trading in my iPhone 5 to get this sexy beast! Plz tell me verizon will have this in white.. Welcome Back BB!!!

Rootbrian

Either ill have the black or white once it hits wind. :D
