The phone showed up days before the official launch on some online stores and was priced for around Rs 45,000. Flipkart is currently listing the BlackBerry Z10 for Rs 45,000, while Tradus has listed a few sellers that seem to be pushing the BlackBerry Z10 out for anywhere between Rs 44,200 and Rs 44,990.

Aircel has confirmed that it would be offering the Z10 for sale. Since the Z10 only requires a standard data plan and not the BlackBerry Data Plan, which was the case with previous handsets, it’s possible to use the handset on any Indian GSM network. Carriers may have different prices for data plans.

A bunch of India-specific apps were also announced at the launch. PVR’s app for the BlackBerry 10 proved to be particularly interesting as it supports mobile payments through NFC. A ticket machine was placed on the stage and Group President and CEO of PVR Ltd, Pramod Arora, demonstrated how movie tickets could be bought.

  • 4.2-inch screen with a resolution of 1280 x 768 pixels
  • LTE, 3G, EDGE, Wi-Fi, NFC
  • GPS with A-GPS support
  • Bluetooth 4.0 with A2DP
  • 8 megapixel AF camera with 1080p recording, 2 megapixel front-facing camera with 720p recording

The BlackBerry Z10 offers exclusive access to BlackBerry World, which includes movies, music and TV shows for purchase and rentals. A new feature called BlackBerry Balance, ensures that your work account and your personal space are kept apart. when using your official account, the office administrator has no access to your SD card, keeping your private life segregated from your professional one.
