BlackBerry R10 packing a 2180mAh battery

We told you earlier that the latest pre-production model of the mid-tier BlackBerry R10 had a non-removable battery. At first the rumor had the device showing an 1800mAh battery like the Z10 but it turns out it is actually packing a 2180mAh battery behind its non-removable (at least not easily removable) back. That should give the device equal or slightly better battery life than the Q10 which easily makes it through a hard day. What do you think of the non-removable battery now?

BlackBerry 10 Curve gets pictured

Images of the reported BlackBerry R10 have been circulating the web since last month, but little was known about what it will be carrying under the hood. Now we have preliminary specs of the upcoming entry-level BlackBerry 10 device.

If you remember the first leaked images of BlackBerry 10 devices from last year, you’ll notice that there are three smartphones in that lineup. Two of them are already out, namely the all-touch BlackBerry Z10 and the keyboard-equipped BlackBerry Q10. The BlackBerry R10 will land on the budget-friendly side as it’s supposed to be the BB10 reincarnation of the BlackBerry Curve. It’s expected to be less powerful than the Q10 but more affordable.

Poynt for BlackBerry 10

Poynt has really made its mark in the smartphone industry, BlackBerry specifically, it hasn’t been available forBlackBerry 10 devices up until now. Poynt for BlackBerry 10 is an Android ported app but seems to be running fairly well on my BlackBerry Z10 device as it picked up my location pretty much instantly. Those of you all not familiar with Poynt:

Poynt is an award-winning local search app that lets you find and connect with businesses, movies, restaurants, people, offers and events near you whenever and wherever you need them. Poynt allows you to interact with your search through placing calls to businesses, mapping directions, viewing showtimes and movie trailers or reserving a table at a local restaurant.

Today, May 1st the BlackBerry Q10 device is available in Canada by all major carriers.

Carriers in Canada will be selling the device for $199.99 on a 3-year contract agreement. If you head over to your local carrier store in Canada the device will be available for purchase.

With the successful launch in the UK and the exclusive sold out sales by Selfridges, I would expect the BlackBerry Q10 to be a success in Canada as well.
