0

BlackBerry-LogoThe Canadian smartphone manufacturer has just rolled out a software update that comes with a built-in FM radio. The updated version of BlackBerry 10 would unlock the feature so that users could listen to top local stations even without using a network connection.


The new BlackBerry 10 OS version 10.2.1 is a new software update for BlackBerry 10 smartphones that lets you do more, more easily, and helps you be more productive and stay better connected.

If you have a BlackBerry Z30, BlackBerry Q10 or BlackBerry Q5 smartphone, the new software update unlocks the built-in FM radio in those handsets. You can listen to local FM stations, which does not require any network connection.

Subject to carrier approvals, BlackBerry 10 OS version 10.2.1 will be available to customers around the world, rolling out starting today in the U.S., Europe, Canada, the Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific and Latin America, and will be available for the entire line of smartphones running BlackBerry 10 (including the Porsche Design P’9982).
