- Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2013This phone is absolutely fantastic. Blackberry is back. I came from the iPhone 4 and was deciding between the z10 and the iPhone 5. My gf has an iPhone 5, but after reading reviews on Amazon I had to play with a z10 in person before making a decision. Man, I am glad I chose the z10! It has a larger screen than the iPhone 5 but isn't ginormous like the Galaxy S4. It fits nicely in your palm and is very light. Aesthetically, the phone is very sleek and definitely has the cool factor going for it. One of my favorite features is that the phone has a sort of built in case with a hard plastic back and strong screen.
BB10 OS makes iOS seem pretty dated. The Blackberry Hub is an awesome feature and a very easy way to consolidate all your emails, texts and social media updates. The swiping gestures are very intuitive. The browser is extremely fast. The keyboard is perfectly sized and even remembers where you hit each key so that you make fewer mistakes. All in all, I'm very happy with my choice and would highly recommend this phone. Plus (and this may change as other people discover how great it is), it's always a little fun to be in the minority around all the iDrones out at parties.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2013was thrilled that i was going to be using a smart phone.
Upon receiving the phone, I was excited to get modern....
I called verizon and attempted to activate the Blackberry Z10.
Upon putting the phone together, I discovered that the sims card was not included.
Verizon agent told me that any store would provide the sims card.
Bottom line, it has taken over a month to get this issue resolved.
At this moment, I am returning the phone and am considering another phone carrier.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2013My impressions, after 5 days of ownership.
The swiping took a little getting used to (I came from an older Motorola Droid), but it was easy and I'm liking it now. It's veru easy to navigate around the screens, after a few days practice. Nice, solid feel to the phone, big screen, large virtual text keys, protected glass bezel. I use it mainly for calls, texting, FB messages, and going online to look up information. Games, photos, music, and videos I did very little on the Droid, partly because of the smaller screen and poorer camera quality (it was a four-year old Droid); I may do more with this phone with these types of activities. If so, I will revise my review to include them.
Battery life has been criticized by other reviewers and I must admit it had me considering exchanging the phone for another Droid after the first couple of days: less than 6 hours on a full charge the first day (with no usage - I just placed it in a drawer until it drained), 7 hours the second day, 9 hours the third day, and now, the fourth and fifth days, it's gone 29 hours on a full charge and still has 20% charge showing on the battery icon, and I'm using it pretty heavily today. I'm now happy with the battery life (and relieved!). Also love that I can open the back of the phone and change out the battery and the optional memory card, and I can charge a spare battery and the phone at the same time on a fairly inexpensive charging dock.
Now, on to the APPS. I don't use a lot, but a few were very important to me on the Droid - some are either not present for the BB Z10 or they are inadequate, others are just now coming into the app store, or BB has done a work-around.
(1) PdaNet - for free tethering for my Mac laptop. The company's BB version does not work on the Z10. (Neither for that matter, does any other app.) and, from correspondence with them, PdaNet's developer junefabrics does not yet seem very interested in developing an app for the Z10. I want an app to work with my unlimited data plan - the reason I paid full price for the phone in the first place, to avoid the restricted plans with extra $ attached to them. The unlimited data plan at VZ requires monthly fees for tethering and for mobile hotspot on the Z10. This is the one single reason I might eventually go back to a Droid, on which PdaNet DOES work. We'll see.
(2) My gmail works at least as well as on my Droid - thanks to a BB workaround provided that I just purchased.
(3) My very favorite game of all time just yesterday showed up in the BB store! Wasn't there when I checked the day before. Yay! I play it on the computer and iPad but never played it on the Droid because of the small screen.
(4) I use IPCam Viewer on the iPad and used it on the Droid. It seems to work great.
(5) Facebook app not very user friendly yet, though it seems to be getting better with today's update - still can't post comments, though.
(6) Audible just 2 days ago decided to cancel their support on Blackberry devices and for their Audible BB app. This is very disappointing, but not a deal-breaker for me with regards to my new phone (though it will probably result in my cancellation of my Platinum Audible membership under another account). I don't understand Audible's reasoning with this decision.
(7) LastPass and Xmarks. Both great apps; I've used them for a number of years on my PC's, Mac's, and Droid phone, and now they also work great on BB Z10, even though they apparently are still android versions.
(8) I use Dropbox. Works fine on the Z10.
This discussion leaves out plenty of commonly-used apps because I don't use them, at least not yet. Others can discuss them.
(9) There is no AllRecipes app yet for the Z10, but I can easily log in through my Browser to get to my account and its shopping and recipe lists.
All in all, I'm finding the apps on the BB Z10 to be more than adequate (except for the tethering issue) for my uses. And the BB app store is getting more Z10 apps daily, so for my needs at least it works.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2013Purchased this phone because of all the high user reviews on Amazon. I used it for a few weeks but really did not like the user interface or the phone hardware. The lack of a home button made navigating difficult; although the swipe feature is nice it gets bothersome when you have to use it for everything on the phone. The screen quality is hi-resolution, but not that bright and the colors are of a bluish tint. I have not used previous Blackberry devices, but compared to today's iPhones and Android devices, the BlackBerry Z10 just doesn't stack up.
