More BlackBerry Z10 Device Model Differences (STL-100-X)

 Z10_White_ENG_Gen_horizontalAngle

We wrote up a piece earlier today about the four different BlackBerry Z10 models and it turns out I left some details off the list. There are some other differences between the device models including their processor and slight weight differences beyond just the cellular frequencies. Here is an updated list with more detail. There are also a whole spectrum of different SAR ratings per device in their safety guides if that interests you. I also noticed that the even numbered models have a higher Bluetooth range than the odd numbered models. Thanks to piotrbarycki @BBNews.pl for pointing these out!
