The main problem with Blackberry is there marketing. We don't see any Blackberry commercials whereas we see Apple, Samsung, and Motorola commercials all the time.

[@thredcrack]

@Arthur how??

[@megatronskneecap]

@@thredcrack Blackberry hardly ever did any TV or internet marketing for their new devices outside of Canada when this thing was released. The evident mix of apps missing was also what ended up killing them. This was a stupidly intuitive phone and it just looked so good. Half of these features have been stolen and implemented into iOS and Android.

[@neskaberry5449]

[@hellachrispy]

It's been a few years since I've had a Blackberry. I've seen a few of the Z10 reviews online and I must say that they did a pretty good job with it. With that said, I think this Z10 will keep BB users with the brand but I don't think it's bringing anything game changing where an Apple or Android user would have to switch to it. This white version of the Z10 does look really good though.

Have been using the Z10 for almost 3 years now. It's the best phone I have ever had! Performance is still on top! I have never had a phone this long. The only thing that is becoming kinda "outdated" is the 1,800mAh battery - it get's me through the day, but it would be nice to have a bigger one which would get me through a day & a night! ;)

[@runfun3914]

hey I just ordered this phone alot of people say the update messed up their phone did it mess up yours plesse reply!

[@Slash18622]

run fun Hey! What update should have messed it up? The very first versions (10.0 & 10.1) were still buggy. But that's a thing of the very, very, very beginning (in 2013). After 10.2.1 with every update it ran smoother and the runtime for Android got better. Now we are at 10.3.1 - and it's the best version so far. It has a battery saving mode (which gives you about 25% more battery life) and the browser got more security features - which makes it to most secure browser ever. In March version 10.3.3. will be released which includes the highest possible standards of security (government standard) and in fall 10.3.4 will follow. So don't worry about those "horror" stories. ;)

The last phone they released was the Storm and I was impressed with it, even though its been 6 yrs since then.. Its always been a sleek, class and practical phone that is user friendly.. I could see them competing with Apple and Android in the future if they continue to make phones like this.. I really like the simple, sleekness about it.

[@BlatentlyFakeName]

I quite like these phones. It's a shame BB is struggling at the moment, because Blackberry's OS is pretty solid and feels a lot more responsive than Android or iOS. It's also WAY more secure. Unlike the old BB phones, the battery doesn't last all week though :D

[@mikehill8563]

Excellent review. Fun and very informative with a voice that's easy to listen to. I want a BBZ10...

[@MazwiZwane]

I think the only way Blackberry can survive is to ditch their OS and go android, sure it'll make them look desperate, but i think they will hold a decent amount of market share if they go android.

[@kramsiger9337]

The identity of the blackberry is their own os. Blackberry is a smartphone designed for businessmen or should I say men who are working in corporate world. Blackberry is best for e-mail and should i also say presentations, bb z10, q10, and z30 have micro hdmi ports for them to be connected in a projector for report use. What i am pointing out? blackberry market is for the persons who are busy in their work. Apple and Android are for those kids and adults who want their phones to be their gadget for playing, texting, playing music, videos, and the likes.

[@MazwiZwane]

Kram Siger yeah sure i hear you and i like your comment too. but i know a lot of businessmen who have switched to android. don't know about IOS. and yes i agree emails are the best in a blackberry. but now even though android doesn't compare to blackberry when it comes to email clients, it does have an enormous app market and thousands of code jockeys busy building apps by the minute. what i'm getting at is that there are few third party email client apps that are on par with blackberry's native email app. and which in turn businessmen found useful. hence so many businessmen switched. what the Android native OS lacks, it is made up for in Apps. Don't get me wrong Blackberry is a heck of a good phone, premium build, competition hardware and all. for Blackberry to take a leap of faith to android just might be what the doctor ordered. remember these days its not the loyalty that counts, its the App stores. An android phone is just as versatile as a Blackberry in the business world, if they make the move to android, blackberry might get back previous loyalists who have now gotten used to Android. I like what they are doing now with the whole android app integration to their OS 10.2.1.

[@kramsiger9337]

Well I get your point. Maybe we just have different perceptions about the BB. BTW, some android apps can now be run into the blackberry 10.2 os, which I think a good step for them. Blackberry will not defeat ios and android, that's already given mate, I think that what BB is trying to do is for them to somewhat catch up their sales and to meet their targeted market. They will not dominate but they would just provide. Sorry mate if I got you angry or something. peace ^_^

Can you upgrade your battery for one with more capacity?? didn't know that

[@anguslo]

I personally will pick the Z10, since it can run Android apps anyway. Plus, the BlackBerry OS is more polished and stable compared to Android.

[@FGeRHD]

You can't count Z10 running Android apps.. because android apps are so slow on Z10, and notifications are shity from android apps on Z10. I have Z10 for about 3-4 months and this is the bigest mistake I made. Still mad on myself.. So, if you can put some more money and buy Nexus 4, buy it! It is another world for S4 Mini and Z10. Peace.

[@BrokoliFried]

U should pick note 9

the latest update for the Z10 - 10.2, is a fantastic update with a lot of improved features, and the next update that which will be out hopefully sooner then later will give more access to more android apps. this phone is really coming into its own.

[@andrewwilliams9633]

Do you want a cheap smartphone that runs android that has all the apps and customisation you can think of? Or do you want a more sophisticated phone that is mainly used for emails and communicating with not many apps? It all comes down to what you desire in a smartphone. For me personally, I would buy the Moto g, as it has a slightly larger screen, more apps and games and I can customise my phone more. If that doesn't matter, I'm sure the Z10 will deliver a great experience.

Excellent Review! Longtime Blackberry User and the Z10 is very different from all prior BB Versions. Your Video (amongst several that I watched) was by far the most educational. One Con on the Z10 is the method in which you answer phone calls. The swipe down method takes a bit getting used to.

[@Chrisabarientos]

[@Re_mad7]

Just got my z10 today after being an android user for 4 years. People dismissing this phone due to blackberry's reputation really are missing out. What it doesn't have in apps MORE Than makes up in usability, performance and social integration. The multitasking is the best on any phone at the moment. Never before have i been able to switch from a game, to my facebook, to the browser and back to a game without as much as a hick and without the game actually closing. The app store is always improving too.

[@WhereWanderers]

hi, I want to buy either iphone 5s or blackberry z10. what would you guys recommend? im really confused.

[@Re_mad7]

mona zeb It all depends on what you want. If you want a huge array of apps more than anything go iphone. If you want a phone with very good social integration where all your facebook messages, emails, text messages are together along with seemless multi tasking. Go Z10. Both operating systems are rapid fast and both have almost identical screens. The blackberry app selection is also growing day by day. Other than the app store, I'm struggling to think of a reason to pick the iphone over Z10. (not to mention the iphone costs 5 times as much as the z10 now)

[@WhereWanderers]

Thank you :)

[@ScGendo]

Thinking on getting one tomorrow, only need few core apps and music player (is it good?), it has a budget price but great specs and build quality from what i see here, seems perfect for my needs!

[@Re_mad7]

ScGendo Yeah its great, everything just works really well helped by a decent processor and massive 2GB RAM. It has a lot of big name apps and with the blackberry 10 OS being new, more and more core apps are being added all the time. I'd say the app store on it has overtaken the windows app store right now. The size is also perfect too. If you thing the iphone is still too small and androids are too big, this will be perfect for you.

As far as battery life goes, they're about the same with regular use, the advantage is that the Z10 has a removable rear cover and you can upgrade the memory via MicroSD or swap out battereis.
