Ping Jakarta!
BlackBerry officially unveiled the new BlackBerry Z3 on May 13 with a special “Jakarta edition” that features the name of our beloved capital city emblazoned on the back as the first BlackBerry smartphone tailor-made for the local market. Powered by a BlackBerry 10 OS version 10.2.1, the limited edition phone features localized apps and content as well as a Time Shift camera to ensure perfectly timed group photos (read: no one caught blinking). The Story Maker feature allows you to combine photos and videos with music and effects to produce HD movies that are instantly shareable on YouTube.

Featuring sparkling and festive top notes of champagne rosé and base notes of queen wood, white musk and enveloping amber, this feminine, sensual scent is captured in a beautiful, capsule-shaped glass bottle with a sophisticated degradé effect in matt rosé.
New and Improved
LG has released two new, better-than-ever offshoots of previously acclaimed models: the LG G Pro 2, featuring superior performance to the LG G Pro, and the G2 Mini, an affordable, smaller version of the premium, high-performance LG G. The brand returns with its Rear Key concept, which places the power, menu and volume adjustment buttons on the back where the index fingers naturally rest while the phone is in use, according to research.
