When the BlackBerry Z10 came out, it was hard to ignore the throngs of people asking when the Q10 was going to come out. Fast forward a couple of months, Malaysia will be the FIRST country in Asia to get the Q10. The Q10 features a 3.1inch SuperAMOLED touch enabled display with a 720×720 resolution at 330PPI, Dual core Cortex A9 1.5GHz processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB built in memory as well as an 8MP rear camera and 2MP front camera. The unit coming to Malaysia will be LTE enabled as well. Weighing in at 139g, the Q10 is not the most svelte of phones, but it’s the design and the familiar physical QWERTY keyboard that will completely get you hooked.
The BlackBerry Q10 will come in both black and white, available from Celcom and Maxis from the 15th of May. Celcom is starting their pre-orders on the 8th of May, letting you be one of the first in Malaysia (and indeed Asia) to get your hands on one of these sought after handsets. The Q10 will retail for RM2,388 before carrier plans.
