2 days ago, on the (mostly) sunny tropical island of Singapore, BlackBerry launched the z10. To be made available starting from March 7, the launch showcases the accessory, device as well as lots of interaction between the BlackBerry community in Singapore. While BlackBerry is not exactly the hottest here, the launch indeed created some buzz and excitement even from users from other platforms.

Just before the party, clouds formed and the rain came, giving a very heavy downpour, however, spirits were not dampened and fans firm stood together.

Now, the prizes are being given away… There were z10’s given away too, however, winners were given a IOU instead, so they could collect their prizes on the 7 March instead.
