Hi everyone.
Scott Lewis here for Wirefly.
Today, I'm here to give you a quick look at the brand new Blackberry Z10 for T Mobile.
Let's go ahead and dig into the box and see what you get with your Z10.
Right on top is the phone.
We'll get to that in a second.
Let's see what else comes in the box.
It looks like our T Mobile SIM card and some users manuals, micro-usb charge cable, the
usb charge block, just a single port and the battery for our Z10.
The battery for the Z10 is a 1800 mAh power battery.
It should be good for 10 hours of talk time and 13 days of standby time.
It's a very considerable size battery for the Blackberry.
Let's sit the box out of the way.
Let's start peeling some stickers off so we can unveil the Blackberry Z10.
Right away you can see that this doesn't look like any other Blackberry that's been out.
It is a full touch screen Blackberry with a 4.2 inch diagonal screen, with a screen
resolution of 768 by 1280 which gives it an overall pixel density of 356 pixels per inch.
I'm going to go ahead and turn the camera off now and I'll pick it up after I boot up
the Z10, we'll do a quick tour around the phone, we'll talk about a few more specs and
I'll give you a quick tour of the Blackberry 10 operating system.
Here's our Blackberry Z10 all booted up and connected to the T Mobile 4G network.
The start screen has you with a swipe up to unlock.
This is the home screen but this is actually, also, the multi-tasking screen.
This is the last four applications that I happened to go in to.
You have the weather.
If you wanted to launch that, you could go right into it.
With a swipe up, you would go back to the screen.
You can go into the browser, same thing.
One of the key features of the Blackberry is the Blackberry Hub.
For that, it's going to be the screen farthest to the left.
Now, this is my particular Hub.
I signed into a couple of email accounts, a Facebook account and a Twitter account and
you can see that it has all the different stuff, emails and everything aggregated into
one place.
It even has calendar reminders.
You can break it down in to specific emails or if you just want to see Facebook or Twitter
posts, you can go there or if you want to get the whole Hub back which is all of the
accounts that you have signed in, you just tap on the general Blackberry Hub.
We'll swipe over to get back to our multi-tasking screen and then you can swipe over one more
time and you have a little bit more common app tray.
This has all the different preloaded applications.
Your regular settings and menus, Facebook, Twitter, music Blackberry app world or just
Blackberry world now is where you get your applications for your Blackberry Smart Phone.
BBM which is Blackberry Messenger which is a great feature on the Blackberry.
Let's go ahead and take a tour of the phone real quick.
You can see the navigation keys are not physical keys.
They are virtual keys on the screen.
As you see, I'm doing a lot of gestures on the phone.
That's definitely a way to navigate the phone versus some of the more common ways of navigating
through Android Smart Phones and Windows Smart Phones.
It's a little bit different with some different gestures.
You can do Peek and Flow.
If you're actually in an application, let's go ahead and open the browser and instead
of going all the way back and then gesturing over, you can actually take a look.
There's nothing that you want to go and look at, you can just swipe back to the application
that you're in.
The nice thing about that is let's say you're playing a video.
We'll go ahead and load a video real quick.
You can actually peek at your information and see if there's anything you want to look
at or go into while your video is still playing.
You can go right back and jump right back into where you were at with the video.
As far as design, the Blackberry is made from, mostly, plastic.
It obviously has a glass front.
The back cover is the nice soft plastic touch with the Blackberry logo on the back.
It is a removal back cover and we'll take that off in a second here.
Note real quick it is an 8 mega pixel rear facing camera, it records video in 1080P,
has an LED flash.
The front facing camera is a 2 mega pixel front facing camera and as far as thickness,
the Blackberry Z10 is 9 mm thin and it weighs 4.85 ounces for a total weight and that's
with battery installed.
Let's go ahead and take a look under the hood here.
This is the 1800 mAh battery for the Z10 and we have a spot for micro SD card so you can
expand storage on a Z10.
It does come with 16 gigabytes of internal storage already on it and then, this is a
spot for our micro SIM card.
One other thing to note, you can see the contacts on the phone and contacts on the back cover
and that's going to be for your NFC or near field communication technology that the Z10
has built in.
I'll put the back cover on.
On the top here, we have our 3.5 mm headphone jack, the power and sleep button, small microphone,
volume up and down rocker switch.
The center button is going to be for the voice assist.
That's the micro usb charge port and the micro HDMI output and then, you also have a microphone
at the bottom here underneath the Blackberry logo.
I think I mentioned it before but just as a quick reminder, it is running the Blackberry
10 operating system.
Empowering the phone in the operating system is a 1.5 Ghz dual-core processor and 2 GB
of RAM.
There's a lot of interesting software integrations with the Blackberry 10 operating system on
the Z10.
We'll be cover most of those in our full review so make sure to check that out.
That wraps up our quick look today.
My name is Scott Lewis with Wirefly.
Thanks for watching.
