blackberry z3 release

We just came from the local launch of the BlackBerry Z3 where we got the chance to fiddle around with the company’s newest 5-inch smartphone that runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and the latest BlackBerry 10 OS. The BlackBerry Z3 flaunts a 5-inch display with a screen resolution of 960 x 540. Apart from the neatly-placed 5MP camera and single LED flash, it has BlackBerry’s signature dot-textured rubber that covers the entire back and adds grip to the device.

It's available starting today at authorized BlackBerry retailers for Php10,990. RIM fought back and introduced its first touch screen device -- the Blackberry Strom (9530). It also has mobile streaming, allows tethering to your laptop to share internet and can sync your desktop iTunes music files using BlackBerry Media Sync. The top feature of Blackberry is the full suite of email connectivity and management -- MS Exchange, IBM Lotus Domino, Novell GroupWise as well as enterprise email account and personal email accounts -- that trumps MobileMe by a mile.
