The BlackBerry Q10 is here with Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network and this is what many BlackBerry users were looking for, especially when Z10 couldn’t just kill the comfort of the BlackBerry keyboard.

Even though Q10 looks like a regular BlackBerry set, of course with a larger screen, it is loaded with excellent apps and tricks that would even make iPhone and Android phones jealous. Here are 7 cool features that will definitely make you grab BlackBerry Q10 today!

1. Type and Go

When you are using a smartphone, one of the most important things is to find stuff quickly. BlackBerry Q10 understands this. So, when you initiate some action or search, all you need to do is to start typing and BlackBerry Q10 will find it for you. So, if you want to open Facebook, just type FB and for Twitter ‘TW’. No matter what you are looking for, just key in the first few alphabets and Q10 will do the rest.

2. Keyboard Shortcuts

We love our PC keyboard shortcuts and now BlackBerry Q10 brings the same comfort to your smartphone as well. Whether it is Calendar, File Manager, Adobe Reader, Hub and other Q10 functions, Keyboard shortcuts will save you time and make tasks simple and easy. Of course, you will not get a hang of all shortcuts in one day, but the learning curve is simple.

3. Camera Pinch-to-Zoom

Almost every touch screen smartphone today has the pinch to zoom feature. But does every smartphone incorporate it in the camera function as well? One of the great features of BlackBerry Q10 is to just pinch and spread in camera mode. The Q10 will zoom in. For zooming out, simply pinch and close.

4. Time Shift

This is one of the best features of BlackBerry Q10. Time Shift automatically captures images immediately before or after you click a picture. This way you will be able to select an image that is the best. You can also edit and crop according to your preference. So, if you like the background of the picture but don’t really like the way someone looks, you can keep the image and select a different headshot from any of the before and after frames.

5. BBM Video Chat Screen Share

Another cool feature in BlackBerry Q10 is the BBM video chat. The Screen Share shows the person you are chatting with, what you are viewing on your screen. All you need to do is select Screen Share during a chat and then switch to your photos, files, web pages or just about anything else you want to share. You can go back to the regular chat by simply tapping the video chat icon.

6. Intelligent Calendar

When you create a new appointment, the BlackBerry Q10 gives you suggestion on whom to invite, based on your existing meetings and events and your last invited list. The Intelligent Calendar also shows your friends’ recent messages and social updates. This helps in making your invitations friendlier and more personalized.

7. BlackBerry Remember

BlackBerry Remember is a fantastic organizer that lets you collect photos, lists, messages and files in separate groups. You can select BlackBerry Remember with Outlook, Calendar and other cloud based services like Evernote. You will find that activities like locating, tagging and even grouping files can be done in a matter of minutes.
