BlackBerry Z30 UK release, shipping unlocked to US
The BlackBerry Z30 smartphone was recently introduced and the release is now starting to roll out worldwide. It has just become available in the UK but there has been no launch date confirmed yet for the US. However, the unlocked BlackBerry Z30 can be ordered through the UK for international shipping to the US and elsewhere.
The Z30 is BlackBerry’s latest flagship offering, and we previously gave some details of some UK pricing for the phone. With Carphone Warehouse deliveries are expected on September 30 for the black variety, and there’s a later shipping date of October 15 for the white color option.
Now Selfridges in the UK has released the BlackBerry Z30 with a price tag of £529, equivalent to around US $854. The phone can be shipped SIM free to the US, and this may be a good option for those stateside who are impatient for the phone to launch there.
Specs of the BlackBerry Z30 include a 1.7GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro Plus dual-core processor, a 5-inch Super AMOLED display with resolution of 1280 x 768, 2GB of RAM, and 16GB of internal storage (expandable via microSD to 64GB).
It also has an 8-megapixel rear camera, a 2880 mAh battery, and it runs the BlackBerry 10.2 OS. If you want to order this handset for the UK or for international shipping, the BlackBerry Z30 is listed as “in stock” at Selfridges here.
Earlier today we told how it’s now possible to order the unlocked BlackBerry Z10 or Q10 through BlackBerry’s US website. However, the upcoming Z30 is not available to pre-order in the US yet.

I’m absolutely staggered at just how good the Z30 looks . I have a Z10 which I love , but wow , I really need the Z30.
Blackberry have really delivered on this phone.
Do you own stock in BB
spec’d as a low-tiered device, priced higher than other premium high-tiered devices? Makes sense.
seriously?
Compare to the highest end Iphone 5S, for example
What is better in the BB:
screen quality – super AMOLED vs LCD
higher resolution
larger screen
larger battery
better cameras – front and back
faster processor
better stereo speakers
better and numerous microphones
more modern operating system (IOS is way too old and outdated)
In fact, nothing the IPhone has is better than the BB – NOTHING. Go ahead and do your research but looks for side by side comparisons
Yes, the Galaxy 4S is one that would beat it in specs but basically the only one (overall specs that is) and it would barely beat it overall
2 words – more apps
Awesome device. I have the z10 which is nice, and would love to have this one. bb10 is so powerful that is does not need a quad. Spec that dude, it’s about personal preference.
I am very happy with my Z10 and after using both the ipone and galaxy. They are no match for the Z10. I will buy the Z30 when it is released in Canada
Skipped the Z10 and Q10, this was the phone I was waiting for. OS10.2, excellent speakers, Jelly bean runtime, Android app sideloading…definitely the ultimate Blackberry and hopefully not their last hurrah.
