BlackBerry Z10 by mark (Mar, 2013)Beautiful screen, perfect size bigger than Iphone but not so big it won't fit in your pocket.

Performance Real world tests of BlackBerry Z10
cpu speed
BlackBerry Z10 by Daniel-J.-KinemWhen I have to use my S3, I find it clumsy and slow and I'm not talking processor speed.
BlackBerry Z10 by Kory-Jenkins (May, 2013)It's not so important any more the gigs of ram it has, or whether it's a quad processor or dual.

600 min
840 min
390 min
BlackBerry Z10 by Wolfhart-Pohl--WolfInstead of the 13 days standby / 10 hours talk time I get barely 12 hours of standby and half an hour of phone conversation, before the battery is completely drained.

Apps
BlackBerry Z10 | Rated 77% by by c|net (Jan, 2013)You'll find Wi-Fi (802.11 a/b/g/n), Bluetooth 4.0, NFC, and all the good stuff when it comes to texting, chatting with other BlackBerry users, and sharing stuff to social networks. There's a good music app, a basic maps app, and the mostly-good Documents To Go, which opens the door to reading, creating, and editing Word and.
BlackBerry Z10 | Rated 100% by by USC-MBA (Apr, 2013)MP3 Player, interfaces well with iTunes, and after doing an A/B with my iPad, have to say that it sounds better - more airy highs and solid bass.
BlackBerry Z10 | Rated 40% by by Kory-Jenkins (May, 2013)As much as there is to love (as you've probably already read with the many positive reviews) there's really something that's detrimental to this phone: the app market.
Operating system
BlackBerry Z10 | by GSM Arena (Feb, 2013)Frankly, we don't see any happy Android or iOS users suddenly feeling the urge to jump ship because of the Z10.
BlackBerry Z10 | Rated 100% by by jcdammer (Apr, 2013)What can I say after two months or ownership - very good quality, smooth intuitive OS, some really nice features, gestures and the hub is simple efficient communicative perfection.
BlackBerry Z10 | Rated 20% by by RDSFor now I believe considering the future direction of modern technologies like good ecosystem, integration, device manufacturers support it is better to buy smartphone based in apple IOS, google android and Microsoft windows 8.
Screen
BlackBerry Z10 | Rated 100% by by InvalidUsername (Feb, 2013)Color saturation is on par with the iPhone 5 screen, sharpness is slightly higher on the Z10 (Z10 has higher pixel density), and the auto brightness is by far better than anything on the market!
BlackBerry Z10 | by GSM Arena (Feb, 2013)Native contrast is excellent, viewing angles are very wide and colors are very lively.

Operating System
BlackBerry Z10 | by GSM Arena (Feb, 2013)The new OS is exciting to say the least - we've been waiting for a well-made gesture-based interface for what feels like ages (MeeGo and WebOS got us worked up, only to disappear soon after).
BlackBerry Z10 | Rated 60% by by Chad (May, 2013)My main issue is internet connectivity over ATT cellular is very spotty on this where as on Android, Windows Phone 8 and IOS worked well in the same area.
BlackBerry Z10 | Rated 100% by by A.-Dent--Aragorn (Mar, 2013)It is clearly not an Android and it's clearly not a Apple phone and you realize that as soon as you begin using it.
Keyboard
BlackBerry Z10 | Rated 77% by by c|net (Jan, 2013)My full review of the BlackBerry 10 OS goes deep: into the layout, gestures, the Hub, maps, music, the keyboard, the browser...and that's the beginning.
BlackBerry Z10 | by GSM Arena (Feb, 2013)BlackBerry has taken care to make the stock keyboard one of the best keyboards around by enabling a ton of advanced features, some of which adapt to you.
BlackBerry Z10 | Rated 80% by by carlos (May, 2013)The very good keyboard and fast orthographic corrections are very good and almost always predicting what you will write.
