The BlackBerry Z10 gets some update love today with a new 150mb software update that improves the ability to tkae photos even without the flash, improvments to calendars specifically when used with GMail, better browser performance and video playback and a huge battery update that involves over 60 battery saving improvements to make the Z10 as long lasting as the BlackBerries of old. Hit jump for instructions on how to get the update.

Software is available over the air (OTA). Typically, you’ll get a notification about new updates, but you can manually check to see if it has been made available by your service provider and install it in a few simple steps.
Settings> Software Updates> Check for Updates> — then follow the on screen steps to install.

The download is approximately 150MB in size, so I recommend updating when connected to Wi-Fi.

Just downloaded and installed the update this morning. 155 MB of download and it took around one hour via WiFi to download and install (long!), another 5 minutes to reboot the Z10. Will put it through its paces and see just how different the performance and battery life is.
