Earlier today, BlackBerry launched their newest flagship smartphone in the Philippines — the BlackBerry Z10. BlackBerry also announced that all 3 carriers (Globe, Smart, Sun) will be offering the handset on a BB plan.
The BlackBerry Z10 will be available in stores starting March 19 with a suggested retail price of Php29,990.
BlackBerry Z10 specs:
4.2-inch display @ 1280×768 pixels, 356ppi
Qualcomm MSM8960 Snapdragon 1.5GHz dual-core Krait
2GB of RAM
16GB of internal storage
up to 32GB via microSD card
8MP rear camera
2MP front-facing
micro HDMI
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, dual-band
Bluetooth 4.0
NFC
LTE
GPS w/ aGPS support
Li-Ion 1,800 mAh battery
BlackBerry 10 OS
137.5 grams (weight)
130 x 65.6 x 9mm (dimensions)
Since the Z10 also comes with LTE, carriers will be able to offer it when available (I’ve confirmed from a Globe rep that they will offer free LTE with the handset).
Online reservation is open if you want to pre-order, just go here.
I think the way to revive an ailing company as BB is to bring the price closer to what the people can afford. But placing BB z10 at such a premium price might turn off some buyers, because there are lots of brands coming out with great or even greater specs phones out there for a few thousand less. If BB will lower their price for z10, m sure lots of people will buy it, because BB has a following here in the Philippines.
If this is 18-20k, baka bumili pa ako. But at 29k, its too much
buti nalang swak sa budget ko, hindi masakit sa bulsa :-)
Bobo lang and walang alam ang bibili nito.
..is that battery capacity true? then i think it wont last long on long journeys…better get a portable battery pack with this.
Mas maraming tanga ang nagbayad ng 45k nung ni-release ang iPhone 5. Amiiiniiin! Haha
Price of Php29,990.00 serious?
Ang taas ng price… na doble ata we got the price
P9851.27 or malapit na mag 10,000.00
or £160
hay naku, napansin ko lang, pag may bagong reviews ang blog na to sa mga gadget halos lahat ng nag-comment kung makasulat parang nakabili na, may angas na kasi kung react.
anong rason para bilin to kung merong ibang mas feature rich na phone? dahil ba good looking? dahil ba black berry? dahil ba BBM?
anyway, WIN nokia 206 by clicking my name
if you’re speaking from a purely android-based pov, yes this is lacking. but then again, this has always been the trend with device manufacturers using android, pataasan ng specs kasi they do not own the OS. do not judge BB10 based on specs alone (dual core). check it out and let yourself be blown away by their software. BB10 and WP8 are the way forward.
@Black why do i waste my time to show you i own one? I bought mine in the grey market in Bangkok. The way u talk pang Cherry lang nga ang utak mo
Mas mura po ba bumili ng BB z10 sa Bangkok kaysa sa Pinas?
@Black why do i waste my time to show you i own one? I bought mine in the grey market in Bangkok. The way u talk pang Cherry lang nga ang utak mo
bat ang init ng ulo mo at super defensive ka? hahaha.. oh you’re wasting time pala? but i really awe knowing you got a time to response for a comment like this. (at double post ka pa.) :P
“but i really awe knowing”? WTF!
Sablay English mo pre. Balik ka muna sa school.
may awe naman talaga na word. kulang lang sya na “d” bka typo.. sabay kayo balik ng school. hakhak
@Black I own a Z10 at puro kasinungalingan sinasabi mo. daming bad reviews? sige nga asan ang reference mo? make sure na hindi yan iOS or Android biased na sites.
ows? do u own? lumang style na yan. hahaha.. wala ka ngang picture eh! HAHAHA andaming reviews sa mga site, hanapin mo! baka mashock ka.. :P
@Black: Ganun naman talaga ang blackberry. Kumakain ng tanga yun kagaya mo. And kahit sinong first timer sa BB10 e siyempre mangangapa pa yun.
Sana lang nilagay na lang nila sa 20-23k range.
Maicheck to sa Recto (bagsakan ng mga brand new phones na walang warranty)
Siguro mga nasa 18k to. :))
@BLACK so san ka magiinvest, cherry mobile na naman>
with all due respect Mr. cherry mobile man, I am referring to this particular phone which is not a good investment after all. with that price range of 29k+, i can purchase similar specs and performance but can allocate extra bucks on my pocket.
HAHAHAHAHA! Benta tong si Black! :))) ganyan naman ang mga dialog ng mga walang pambili eh :)))) gawa ka naman ng review sa cherry mobile Flare mo oh :))))
hihihihii Papa,, bakit di kayo maka get-over sa cherry mobile flare na yan? bakit meron ba kayo? sorry ha, i dont know even know that. lolz
bobo mo mag-english MR BLACK
“sorry ha, i dont know even know that.”
LOL
daming bad reviews ang BB Z10. it’s not even user-friendly and way too pricey. buying this phone is a bad investment.
@black, investment ba ang phone? hahaha cheap!
ni hindi mo nga alam ang term na investment anon. hihihi
hindi investment ang gadget,. wrong term yan,
hind nmn yan mg earn, in fact it will depreciate in a few months lng,.
baka may phone rental service itong si itim kaya expect nya may ROI sa CP nya hihihi
if gagamitin mo to for reloading, ur making it worse as an investment. phone rental pwede pero gudluck. expensive phones is/was never considered an investment. sabihin mo price mo sa sariling sikap.
black didn’t literally mean “investment”… if you guys don’t know what he meant by investment then shut the fuck up and stop bashing comments
@von: AMEN!!
Prize = premyo
Price – presyo
Be more discerning next time you post. Ayan tuloy, napahiya ka.
Expensive, no way…
I think the price is just right for a flagship. The specs are really not bad. 2GB RAM, 720p display, and LTE. Something new and interesting for the enterprise segment of the market to deploy. I wish BB all the luck with this product.
off topic: the Nokia Lumia 920 is currently the most competitively priced flagship selling at P27K with an excellent screen and nicely-performing camera.
BB is one of the few brands with their OWN OS. 29K is a good price. Kung nakikisabit ka lang ng OS e.g. android…… what do you expect? delayed or no updates at all
So this means magkaka micro sim na ng LTE yeeeeey!! :)
