Well, not quite. But close. The illustrious Rene Ritchie, Editor in Chief or our iOS sibling site iMore, pointed out this morning that if you visit Apple's Youtube channel, there are Verizon BlackBerry 10 ads running on it.

Apr 18, 2013 Strong results from Verizon Wireless but do they need to diversify?
64 Comments
Peek

This morning Verizon Communications posted a great set of financial results for Q1. In the wireless business, Verizon added 667,000 new subscribers, activated 7.2 million smartphones and posted an 8.6% year over year rise in wireless service revenue.  

Out of the 7.2 million smartphones, Verizon disclosed that 4 million were iPhones.  This means the other 3.2 million were some other platform, and we know the majority of these were Android phones, with a smaller mix of BlackBerry and Windows in there.

Mar 30, 2013 PSA: Verizon BlackBerry Z10 owners may not be able to install certain apps

*UPDATE* - This issue has now been fully resolved. WhatsApp, Flixster, Z-Theme and all other apps are now working for the Verizon BlackBerry Z10. If an app you come across is not working, it would be best to let the developer know as there is now options for them to specifically target Verizon BlackBerry Z10 devices through various developers tools and the BlackBerry vendor portal. There is no difference here between ATT with 10.0.10 and Verizon with 10.0.9 other than the version #. The app availability is the same.

Okay, so technically this is the second look, but the first time around didn't give us much to drool over. After hitting the FCC just a day ago, we have some HOT new images of the Verizon BlackBerry Z10. We've seen that the Z10 will be arriving on Verizon in both black and white and it's rumored that the device will launch sometime in March.

As you can see here, the device is full of Verizon branding from the front to the back -- the branding is tucked on the front of the device as well as the back on the battery door. Nothing much else that we haven't seen yet, but this is a good sign for Verizon users as the device should be in the final stretch. Check out more images below!

In the last few weeks, developers who qualified for the Limited Edition device have been submitting their applications to trade up from their Dev Alpha. However, those who are on the Verizon network were receiving emails about an issue with the CDMA carrier in the USA. Today BlackBerry released a statement concerning the availability:

Many developers have already submitted their requests for the Limited Edition BlackBerry 10 device. We've started sending out confirmation emails to those that have qualified for the device. Due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control we are unable to offer a Limited Edition BlackBerry 10 for developers on the Verizon network.

In addition, for those developers who wish to remain with Verizon, BlackBerry is offering them the following choice in lieu of the Limited Edition BlackBerry 10 device.

While we've heard plenty from Canadian carriers that are getting set for the BlackBerry Z10, we have yet to see too much from carriers in the US. That all changed today as @evleaks posted up the above screen showing off the BlackBerry Z10 on Verizon's site. It doesn't look like a page is live just yet (we'll update if we track it down) but it appears to be a typical landing page where you can register for updates on the BlackBerry 10 devices through Verizon.

If you've been wondering how carrier branding may show up on BlackBerry 10 phones, this leaked image that just popped up on the internet gives us a clue. The BlackBerry Z10 on the left shows clear Verizon branding on the upper left corner of the phone. The phone on the right is apparently the AT&T version, but we're not seeing any carrier branding on this one... yet. It's likely this will vary a bit from carrier to carrier.

Oct 03, 2012 Verizon adds voice and messaging alerts to help customers manage usage

Personally, I've always been able to keep track of my mobile use. I have an unlimited message plan, never go over my data and don't often make phone calls - so I'm pretty solid. I'm sure plenty of you are quite the opposite and constantly go over the limits on your data plan. To help keep things on track, Verizon is introducing messaging and voice alerts for set thresholds. The alerts will let you know when you're close to going over your voice or message limit which you can set as needed in your account. Pretty cool features that should help the overachievers out there. Keep reading for the full press release.
