BlackBerry Q10 finally available for Verizon pre-order

By Joshua Pramis May 30, 2013

Check our full review of the BlackBerry Q10 phone.

Not a fan of touchscreen phones? You may have to cave. Pretty soon, you’ll have no choice but to choose which touchscreen phone you hate the least. But for now, there are still a few options, including a whole new line of top notch BlackBerry models.

Verizon customers can rejoice, because the latest model, the Q10, is finally available for pre-order online. As long as you’re willing to commit to a two-year contract, the phone can be yours for just $200. But if you’re something of a commitment-phobe, you’ll have to shell out $600. You’ll have a choice between black and white models, the latter being exclusive to Verizon.

The phone is powered by a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 2GB RAM, 16GB of storage, and has an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera. Though it has a full physical keyboard, you won’t be able to fully avoid a touchscreen; its 3.1-inch OLED screen is touch-friendly, and rocks a 720×720 pixel resolution.

If you’re an eager beaver and jump right over to the site after reading this, be warned: it may take a little while for the listing to fully roll out to each browser, so either try a different one, or check back later. The phones are expected to begin shipping as early as June 6.

BlackBerry Key2 LE: Everything you need to know

The BlackBerry Key2 LE is back home at Verizon, but only for business types

BlackBerry Key2 LE Hands On

The BlackBerry Key LE is a lower-cost version of the Key2, doing away with some of the more high-tech features seen on the expensive sister phone, and cutting costs by using different materials for the body, to create a more affordable but still distinctly BlackBerry smartphone.

You can check out our Key2 LE review to learn more about what it's like to live with the phone, but in the meantime, here are all the technical specs, details, and availability options.
Updates
The BlackBerry Key2 LE is available to buy at Verizon, but only to business and enterprise customers, according to reports. Verizon's selling the Key2 LE for $450 without a contract, or for $100 if you sign up for a two-year plan. The phone does not show up on Verizon's non-business store, so there does not seem to be the option to buy the phone for this price without a business plan.

The Honor Magic 6 RSR is my new favorite Android phone of 2024

Someone holding the Honor Magic 6 RSR outside.

There's no doubt that 2024 has already been an exciting year for Android phones. Samsung wowed us with the Galaxy S24 series at the beginning of the year, the OnePlus 12 and 12R are two of the best phones available right now, and Google is expected to impress later this month with the Google Pixel 8a.

But for the last few weeks, I haven't been thinking about any of those phones. Why? Because I've been using the Honor Magic 6 RSR. After launching in China this past March, the Magic 6 RSR is now available in the EU, and that's allowed more folks than ever to get their hands on the phone. And that's great, because the Honor Magic 6 RSR has quickly become my new favorite Android phone of 2024.
