BlackBerry is between a rock and a hard place right now. Today the company revealed its new Z10 model in hopes of once again becoming a viable opponent in the smartphone race, announced Alicia Keys as its “Global Creative Director,” and changed its company name from RIMM to BlackBerry.

For users hoping to no longer be embarrassed by pulling out a BlackBerry in front of iPhone and Android supporters, the new device can (hopefully) ease that pain.

Peep ‘em below.
