BlackBerry Z3 smartphone set to rock Indonesia

blackberry-z3BlackBerry might have been on the wane as a smartphone company for years now, no thanks to the meteoric rise of Android, iOS, and even Windows Phone in certain markets, but this does not mean that the company is dead and buried. Not yet, anyways. In fact, BlackBerry has retained quite a loyal following in selected countries, with Indonesia being one of them. Hence, it is not a surprise to see that the new BlackBerry Z3 smartphone has been announced (aka the BlackBerry Jakarta) recently, where it has been specially designed for folks who happen to live in Indonesia. Surprised much?

the all new BlackBerry Z3 smartphone will feature a bunch of local apps and content, where the body sports a modern design alongside a 5” full touchscreen display, as well as a long lasting battery to help you get through the day without missing a beat. Each BlackBerry Z3 smartphone will arrive with BlackBerry 10 OS version 10.2.1 onboard, where there are also plenty of other features to go with the handset.

For starters, there will be the ever present BlackBerry Hub that allows you to access the full range of your work and personal email, BBM, text messages, social media updates and notifications in a single place, while granting you the ability to “peek” into the BlackBerry Hub from just about anywhere, making sure you remain only one swipe away from what matters to you. The Hub is customizable, letting it identify priority messages as well as the ability to filter the message list using various criteria.

Other features that go along with the BlackBerry Z3 well include BBM, BlackBerry Keyboard, the Time Shift & Story Maker, and BlackBerry 10 Browser. Sharing files is also simplified and speeded up, while a built-in FM Radio makes sure you need not have a wired connection to remain entertained. We look forward to an April release for the BlackBerry Z3, although pricing details have yet to be determined.
