Written by louiseinthehouse on August 16, 2013

It is quite exciting to know that while many are going gaga over the rising market competition between Android and IOS smartphone devices, BlackBerry has aimed not be left behind as they introduced The New BlackBerry Z10 in March earlier this year. I was privileged enough to test the unit for a couple of weeks, then create a review thereafter. I was extra thrilled because I knew that BB Z10 leads the new generation of BlackBerry devices.

(It even sometimes reminds people of the Iphone 5!) The screen size may not be that big but it’s big enough to surf the internet, […]
