And just like that, BlackBerry's first U.S.-bound BB10 device has Verizon Wireless' support. The Z10 had yet to be announced for VZW until today, but it looks as if it'll ship to customers of that carrier just days after it arrives on AT&T's network. Starting 3/14 at 8am ET, VZW customers will be able to pre-order the handset, with initial shipments happening on 3/28. Customers will be able to choose from two color models, Black or White, with White being a Verizon Wireless exclusive. The Z10 will fully support Verizon's LTE network, and moreover, those wishing for a keyboard-equipped BB10 smartphone can rest easy: VZW will soon offer the Q10 as soon as BlackBerry ships it.

With BlackBerry, formerly known as RIM, in a make-it-or-break-it situation with BB10 as well as the Z10 and Q10 handsets, the company's CEO has confirmed that it won't be delving into the low-end market that it has done quite well in in the past. BlackBerry phones have sold like hotcakes in emerging markets, helping the company to bolster itself while sales fell in developed nations like the U.S., but now, it appears that BB10 won't be tailored to bargain bin phones.

When it comes to cameras, small is clearly "in." Pentax is joining the mirrorless ranks with yet another option, the Q10. It's a swanky looking shooter that's super compact and about as lightweight as they come; it's an interchangable lens model, which supports Q-mount lenses. In addition, the new Q10 retains all the creative features of its predecessor – including the bokeh control function to create a defocused effect typical of an SLR camera, and the Smart Effect modes to apply various built-in filters with a simple turn of the dial. Spec wise, there's a back-illuminated CMOS image sensor, a top ISO of 6400, built-in HDR, a 3" rear LCD, and a 1080p movie mode. It'll ship next month for...
