Five inches. It's a measurement that pretty much all Android flagships this year have attained as their screen size, from the mega-popular Samsung Galaxy S4 , waterproof Sony Xperia Z , budget Oppo Find 5, and even the HTC Butterfly (although not the One). This week, slides leaked that suggested that BlackBerry 's next big handset will also reach that impressive size. The phone's called the Blackberry A10 , and will reportedly be the first BlackBerry to include a five inch display, albeit it at a lesser 720p resolution than the Android phones we mentioned earlier. That's not all either. Changes on the inside are also on the cards, with a faster quad-core Snapdragon S4 Processor running at 1.7 GHz, 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal storage plus microSD expansion.

Blackberry India After much controversy,  BlackBerry  has finally set up its server in Mumbai following intense pressure from the government to provide a mechanism for lawful interception of its messenger services and Nokia has been asked to follow suit.

If there is one mobile manufacturing company that has been experiencing some serious downfall, then it is the BlackBerry. From being one of the most desired and reliable phone company, the RIM (Research in Motion) BlackBerry has been losing its hold among the top spots for its worldwide share in the mobile market. We all do know that the company’s services were considered to be one of the most reliable, especial with the BlackBerry’s dedicated super fast mail server and of course the traditional BBM service, that keeps all BB owners in touch.
