Переслать - Inside BlackBerry Feature: Designing the new BlackBerry Q10
BlackBerry Q10 availability is just around the corner and soon you'll be able to get your hands on this much-anticipated smartphone. There's a lot to be said about the attention to detail that has been put in to crafting this premium smartphone. With a rich heritage of building what some have called the best physical keyboard experience in the industry – the task of taking that experience to the next level for BlackBerry 10 was a welcomed challenge. Over the past few months, I've been working with the design team at BlackBerry to understand what goes into building the next iconic BlackBerry smartphone. Here's what they have to say about designing the gorgeous new BlackBerry Q10.
Feature post from the design team at BlackBerry:
Designing the first physical keyboard smartphone powered by BlackBerry 10 presented us with an interesting design challenge. How do you evolve such an iconic design; one loved by millions upon millions of users around the world?The gesture based user experience that is core to BlackBerry 10 meant there was no longer a need for dedicated menu keys and the track pad. This allowed us to increase both the size of both the display (30 per cent larger) and the keypad while keeping the overall product approximately the same dimensions.
The frets you see between the keys on the BlackBerry Q10 are thicker than those found on the Bold 9900. These thicker frets separate the keys and allow more room for precise key strikes and helping to build muscle memory, making the right keys easy to find.
The white font feature on black keys is Slate Pro, and is part of the humanist genre which is simply the most legible sans serif style for processing information quickly. The open shapes, varying proportions, subtle stroke differences aid the reader and lend an organic, approachable feel to our User Interface (UI) design.
Slate Pro is the work of Rod McDonald, a Canadian award-winning typeface designer and lettering artist. McDonald designed Slate Pro with the intent to have the typeface function well in print as on-screen.
We've heard incredibly positive feedback from our users in testing telling us they prefer this new keypad because it allows them to type faster with added comfort.
In keeping with our premium products, meticulous attention has been paid to every detail of the design, the selection of each materials and processes used to build each unit. Here are some examples:
- The stainless steel fret found across the back of the BlackBerry Q10 helps preserve the finish of the back cover by holding the phone off the surface it is resting on.
- The glass-weave and soft touch coating used on the back cover is exclusive to the BlackBerry Q10 and have been years in development. By forming the glass weave in to a 3D shape, we have made it incredibly strong. The soft touch finish makes the BlackBerry Q10 easy to hold and feels beautiful in your hand while minimizing fingerprints.
- The keyboard frets have been designed with a chamfered edge so that they connect with the frame with incredible precision and accuracy
- The frame is carved out of solid block of forged, 304 stainless steel to make the BlackBerry Q10 strong and durable. Each frame takes 20 minutes to produce through a multi-step computer controlled machining process. The black PVD finish has been chosen to keep the frame from scratching as you keep moving with the BlackBerry Q10.
There you have it an Inside BlackBerry look at designing the new BlackBerry Q10 smartphone. Is this the BlackBerry 10 smartphone you've been waiting for?

Переслать - My First Week with the New BlackBerry Q10
Even though I've been fortunate enough to have my hands on a BlackBerry Q10 for quite some time, it wasn't until just last week that I made the switch and started using it as my "daily driver". In order to describe my experience in one word … I needed to invent a new word. So, I'm coining the phrase "Awesotypetastic" to describe this iconic new device from BlackBerry.
There are a ton of features that make this one of my favorite BlackBerry smartphones of all time, and as the first BlackBerry 10 device to feature a physical keyboard, it has some big shoes to fill.
Since launch I've been covering just what an interesting and powerful new mobile experience BlackBerry 10 is. With features like peek, the BlackBerry Hub and BlackBerry Flow built-in, the BlackBerry Q10 combines a classic BlackBerry keyboard and the power of BlackBerry 10. This experience translates well onto the BlackBerry Q10 and it brings some new innovations to market that improve productivity and are enabled by the physical keyboard.
After one week with the device here are three of my favorite new features:
Instant Action
From the home screen on the BlackBerry Q10, just start typing a command on the physical keyboard to initiate the action. For example, if you want to BBM one of your contacts type "BBM + " to enter BBM and start your conversation. You can also do this for a number of other actions. I particularly found this useful when using the phone one handed.
Keyboard Shortcuts
BlackBerry fans will no doubt appreciate the return of keyboard shortcuts to the device. Simple things like hitting "T" to jump to the top while in the BlackBerry Hub, or hitting "C" to compose a new message add up and help you keep moving quickly and fluidly through the device.
Timeless Design
The BlackBerry Q10 is a serious machine. It is built solid with premium materials and components. As soon as I held the BlackBerry Q10 in my hand it was clear to me everything had been specifically chosen for the Q10 to make every inch purpose-built. It is slim, yet solid and the beautiful glass weave back cover on the black color variant is thinner, lighter and stronger than plastic. Combined with the optimized new darker background in apps like Contacts, Remember, BBM, Search, Text Messaging, Adobe Reader, the experience is stunning inside the software and out.
There you have it, my first impressions and favourite features of the BlackBerry Q10 device.
