    Hi guys,
    Thinking about pulling the trigger on a new Z10. Wanted to ask if someone could confirm the existence of a Russian phonetic keyboard on Z10.

    Thanks.

    Awesome ! Thanks a lot man.
    Can I bother you for one more thing? Can you try adding Russian and see if you're given an option to add regular Russian and Phonetic Russian?
    Again, Thank you.

    Sorry, I didn't notice it was actually written in Russian. I'm talking about the "Русский" option (in your second image). Once you enable it, you should have two types of keyboards: Русский(RU) and Русский(Транслит.).
    Can you confirm that?
    Thanks again for doing this.

    Also interested to see the availability of Russian phonetic keyboard (Русский(Транслит.)) on Z10. In my case, as there is no BG language, even on OS7 devices, I just use the phonetic Russian keyboard, and it works quite well for me. Still not available on PlayBook, but hope it will be on Z10/BB10 devices

    K, so it looks like RU only. Again though, I'm just doing this quickly through the phone. There may be more options if you use desktop software, etc

    I'm a Japanese American live in the US.
    This really bites. Z10 has only Chinese Input support out of all East Asian languages. I have my PB from Day 1 and it still has no support. Hoped that OS10 upgrade would bring it in...
    it doesn't look like it...

    Windows 2000 already had an ability to add most of the common languages. (50+)
    Mac had it even earlier.
    BBOS6 had an option to overwrite the OS with East Asian languages support (Carriers from those part of the world).

    QNX-type OS (PB & Z10) only allow us to use the update BlackBerry give us.
    So, already past 2 years, I can only read Japanese on PB using Bridge from my 9780.
    Same story as the Phonetic Russian for slava888 or mtint.
    Cannot edit nor browse the web using Japanese input.

    It also requires me to use both languages at work.
    Z10 would not help.
    I'll be totally without an ability to type in Japanese once I move to Z10 + PB combo, which is not realistic for me.

    I think the strategy is that they will introduce a new language as a market opens up for that region but how about people like me in Europe, Canada, or U.S.?
    I asked BlackBerry about it in Twitter and emails so many times prior to the launch.

    I was so excited about Z10 and was ready to pre-order (just like I did for PB) when TMo allows us to do so in the U.S. but maybe not?
    Maybe I just have to move on from BB world afterall and move onto what? Windows?
    I guess that maybe the only choice like me who needs to use it for business and for pleasure. (iPad would be nice for personal but not for work...)
    That would be something I have to seriously consider in April, which really really sucks.
    I love my BlackBerry and promoted z10 to so many of my friends even though I do not have one.
    However, I feel BlackBerry intentionally selecting who are important to them by limiting these such basic abilities.
    And I, among others, fell out of the selection.
    Sad.

    Thanks buddy!
    Looks like I'm out of luck. No Phonetic Russian. Wonder why they removed that option. It's a life saver on my 9900.

    try whichever suits your needs the best.

    but since bb 10s arent making thier ways to japanese market i doubt we will be getting japanese input in QNX...
    its really sad

    If they don't do that it will hurt enterprise customers especially global ones who need to set standards
