Many people were skeptical when BlackBerry announced its new devices back in January. It almost seemed as if the Z10 was off to a sluggish start, that coupled with the fact that the smartphone arrived in U.S. over two months late, many analysts were busy writing everything off. It was then reported that the return rates of Z10 in U.S. were abnormally high, the company took stern notice of this and claimed that return rates were in line with their internal expectations. A lot was riding on BlackBerry’s second smartphone, the Q10, which went on sale in Canada on the 1st of May. Jefferies Analyst Peter Misek claims in a note that this smartphone is selling quite well in Canada.

Citing store checks of various outlets in Toronto, Misek says that Q10 sales provide a very positive outlook and that it has solid momentum in its launch week. Many stores are selling out of units or are seeing extremely limited availability. Though it obviously remains to be seen if the major number of Q10 buyers are those who are shifting from a legacy BlackBerry to a new one that has a keyboard. Would the Q10 be able to do just as good in the U.S. or are the only people who will be buying it are those who’re merely upgrading to a better BlackBerry?

Well, well, what do we have here? Spotted online is an official BlackBerry video that lets all and sundry check out the all-touch BlackBerry Z10, a smartphone which frankly, has not got its fair share of promotion to date. Check out the video and you will realize that the BlackBerry Z10 in question also comes with a handwriting recognition engine in BBM which will play nice with the Chinese language.

Is it just me, or did anyone notice that BlackBerry did not really make any effort to promote this particular feature? Hence, it remains to be seen whether Chinese language support for handwriting in BBM on the BlackBerry Z10 will be expanded to include a slew of other languages. Just to roll back the years, what BlackBerry is doing here is definitely far from being the newest feature on the block, since a similar feature was available on the LG Dare way back in the year 2008. Yes, it has been that long already, and users of the LG Dare were allowed to use their fingertip to input numbers and letters in English, ditching the virtual QWERTY keyboard instead.
