We’ve received the full spec sheet for the BlackBerry Z10 L-Series. More specifically for the GSM variants. A lot of it is already known, and has been speculated nearly spot-on. However, one thing that was left out was it’s battery life. The BlackBerry Z10 L-Series will feature an L-S1 battery. This is the same battery used in the BlackBerry Dev Alpha B (essentially a ‘LondonR... »

The BlackBerry 10 L-Series is a general term for three devices. Internally, there is what RIM calls the BlackBerry 10 London, Lisbon, and Laguna.

Since we have both of them up here, it makes sense to run through a quick comparison. The white iPhone 5 ... »

We’ll be attending another BlackBerry event tomorrow, located in London. The first event we had a pretty good idea it would be for the BlackBerry 7 devices.

Here is was TeaMp0isoN had to say to RIM: ... »
