WATERLOO, ON – BlackBerry rolled its new BlackBerry Z30 smartphone Wednesday, billed as its biggest, fastest and most advanced smartphone to date.

Featuring BlackBerry 10 OS version 10.2, the new all-touch device comes with a 5" display and the largest battery yet on a BlackBerry smartphone.  Other key features include BlackBerry Natural Sound which allows users hear nuances and variations in tone, making conversations sound like you're in the same room; and the new BlackBerry Priority Hub which learns what conversations and people are important to you, making it fast and easy to find the messages and information you need.

The BlackBerry Z30 smartphone will roll out from select carriers and retailers around the world beginning next week in the UK and Middle East, and all other regions going into the holiday season. Specific pricing and availability will be announced by partners at the time of their respective launches. A variety of accessories including cases and chargers will also be available.

"The smartphone rounds out the BlackBerry 10 portfolio and is designed for people looking for a smartphone that excels at communications, messaging and productivity”, said Carlo Chiarello, Executive Vice President for Products, in the press release.  “Having apps like the full Documents To Go suite that comes preinstalled, together with its 5" touch display, the BlackBerry Z30 smartphone gives you a best in class productivity experience on the go."
