BlackBerry's big screen Z30 is an elegant device that arrives at a painful time for the once all-conquering company. BlackBerry said the rollout will start with carriers in Europe, Canada, the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific, with other countries 'to follow'. The Z30, BlackBerry's latest phablet model, comes with 10.2 installed. The update will bring Priority Hub to the handsets (previously a feature of the Z30) which allows users to put important conversations at the top of their inbox. The attachment view, also already a feature on the Z30, separates these items from mail, making them easier to find. Email, BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) and SMS message previews will appear in any app, and users can respond to messages without leaving the app they are using. BlackBerry said other additions include easier copy-and-paste and easier sharing to BBM, Facebook and Twitter.
Owners of Z10, Q10 and Q5 smartphones will also get access to the lock screen notifications which debuted on the Z30, so that they can preview (sender and subject line) email, text, BMM or other notifications without unlocking their handset.
