BlackBerry-Q10-VerizonCheck 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.

A virtual private network (VPN) encrypts your internet traffic and routes it through a server run by the VPN provider. Websites see the VPN server’s IP address instead of yours, and you can get around geo-blocks, censorship, and ISP throttling. The best VPN services are paid, but there are still a handful of free options that do the job well. 

Most free VPNs come with a hidden cost, because running servers isn’t cheap and a company that doesn’t charge you has to make its money somewhere else. Many do so by logging your browsing activity and selling it to advertisers, while others flood you with ads and track you across apps.

There's nothing quite like curling up with a good book on a cold evening. As much as I love the feel of a physical book, books take up a lot of space, and carrying more than one on a trip quickly becomes a chore. That's where e-readers come in, and the Amazon Kindle remains one of the best options.

Amazon just refreshed its Kindle lineup with thinner, lighter designs, a new flush-front display, and colors that wrap from front to back. Add the Kindle Scribe and the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft to the mix, and you have more choices than ever before.
