BlackBerry Z10 Red Limited Edition Launched for Developers While Consumers Left in Vain

BlackBerry created swirls in the tech world especially among the operating systems with its BlackBerry 10 OS claimed to be the re-invented platform. Also, the Canadian tech firm unveiled two smartphones - Z10 and Q10. Of the duo, Z10 with a full touchscreen display is the flagship smartphone of BlackBerry.

However, the handsets have simple specifications that are not as good as the flagship smartphones made by other companies. In order to add some flavor and interest, BlackBerry has announced through its blog post that it will hand over 12,000 limited edition BlackBerry Z10 units to the developers.

Limited edition might sound weird, but yes! BlackBerry has announced limited models that will come wrapped in a gorgeous red color casing. According to the blog post, Alec Saunders, VP Developer Relations of BlackBerry said, "Since we can't say thank you enough, we're releasing 12,000 Limited Edition BlackBerry Z10 devices, in red. Because you've earned them."

In order to receive one of the smartphones, developers have to create an app for BlackBerry 10 and have it approved before February 28, 2013. Those developers who have their apps approved can then opt to return their pre-launch Dev Alpha device in exchange for a limited edition Z10 in red.

Unfortunately, there is no information on the general consumers who are interested in buying BlackBerry Z10. Maybe, BlackBerry will offer the limted edition Z10 in red to the consumers as well in the near future.

When it comes to specs, BlackBerry Z10 comes with a 4.2 inch capacitive touchscreen display with 1280 x 768 pixel resolution, 1.5GHz TI OMAP 4470 dual-core processor, 8MP rear camera, 2MP front camera, 16GB internal storage, 2GB RAM, micro SD card slot, HDMI port, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, 4G LTE and a removable 1,800 mAh battery.
