Hasta La Gadget!

What’s better than a non-functional prototype? One that actually works, of course. The Gadget Masters have apparently been spending time with a pre-production version of RIM’s upcoming Z10 smartphone, and plundered its camera app in the process. The ensuing video (after the break) didn’t reveal any new features, but carries the novelty of actually manipulating an image with the app’s tools. After snapping a picture of the carpet (daring!), our host leads us through a few filters, mentioning the app’s ability to crop and transform images. It’s not groundbreaking, but it’s good to see a fully functional version of the app. After all, Thorsten Heins’ big event is just around the corner.

We’re only 15 days away from RIM’s big media event where they plan to make a number of BlackBerry 10 announcements, although with the recent leaks of multiple handsets and first looks into the BlackBerry 10 OS, we can’t imagine there being anything else up RIM’s sleeve at this point. That is, besides actually showing off the new handsets and the OS together on film, which is exactly what another leaked video is doing.

A German website called TelekomPresse published a video recently that not only shows the BlackBerry Z10 in a pretty extensive hardware overview, but it also shows what the BlackBerry 10 OS is capable of on the device.

This isn’t exactly new ground as we’ve caught multiple glimpses at the BlackBerry 10 OS, but this is the first time one of the new handsets running the OS have been caught in the wild. If you absolutely can’t wait until January 30 when RIM makes their official announcement, this new video should hold you over for the next 15 days.

It will be at the end of this month in New York City when we will finally see what could very well be the last throw of RIM’s dice where their BlackBerry future is concerned with the unveiling of BlackBerry 10. Well, what kind of hardware could we look forward to? The BlackBerry Z10 is certainly one of them, in addition to the BlackBerry X10 that comes with a QWERTY keyboard. Well, the BlackBerry Z10 has been spotted with the Verizon logo at the top of the device, as you can see in the image above, which is very different from the RIM-only branded hardware that we have seen in leaked images of the past.

As for the other Z10 that you see above, it is said to be made available for AT&T in the US, but it could be the case where the badging is not quite ready for prime time viewing, or perhaps the AT&T logo is located right at the back, although we would put our smart money on the former. Would you be one of those who are willing to throw your weight and money behind the BlackBerry 10 ecosystem?
