Rated 100% by by Austin-Freeze (Mar, 2013)I just picked one up and I LOVE IT!! This device has the best touchscreen keyboard I have ever used and after a bit of learning the phone is very intuitive.

Z10 by Craig-in-NYC (Apr, 2013)Pros: great design, solid build, perfect size for me and excellent screen, OS is close to flawless - fast.
Z10 by mark (Mar, 2013)Beautiful screen, perfect size bigger than Iphone but not so big it won't fit in your pocket.
screen resolution
Z10 by Ajay (Mar, 2013)Maybe that is because the Z10 tops the other two at 356 pixels per inch (ppi), compared to 306 ppi for the Galaxy S III and 326 ppi for the iPhone 5.

Z10 by Daniel-J.-KinemYes, every week another droid comes out with great specs and more cores, but it's the same thing over and over.

Z10 by c|net (Jan, 2013)The Z10 packs a respectable 8-megapixel shooter in the back and a 2-megapixel lens up front.

Performance Real world tests of BlackBerry Z10
cpu speed
Z10 by Daniel-J.-KinemWhen I have to use my S3, I find it clumsy and slow and I'm not talking processor speed.
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.
talk time
600 min
900 min
378 min
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.
Z10 by Darrell-Etherington (Jan, 2013)Keeping track of how much it’s using isn’t easy, either; there’s no way to monitor battery performance beyond a basic visual icon, and no detailed battery info in system settings.

Apps
BlackBerry Z10 | by Darrell-Etherington (Jan, 2013)Some of the apps that are there are good, and BlackBerry has clearly done their best to launch with as many quality, big-name partners as they could manage.
BlackBerry Z10 | by Darrell-Etherington (Jan, 2013)BBM sharing is also present throughout, as well as Bluetooth (the Z10 has low-power Bluetooth 4.0 on board) and NFC.
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.
Operating system
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.
BlackBerry Z10 | Rated 77% by by c|net (Jan, 2013)For more on the OS, I highly recommend skipping on over to the BlackBerry 10 OS review.
BlackBerry Z10 | by Darrell-Etherington (Jan, 2013)It’s different from what most users will be used to on either iOS or Android, but some aspects will be familiar to webOS users.
Screen
BlackBerry Z10 | Rated 100% by by Big-Philou (Mar, 2013)This is the best touch keyboard and the size is perfect for one or two hand operation.
BlackBerry Z10 | by Darrell-Etherington (Jan, 2013)Overall, while it’s different, it’s a surprisingly intuitive experience, and one that exceeds the tacked-on touch experience of BB OS 7 and earlier.
Keyboard
BlackBerry Z10 | Rated 100% by by KB (Mar, 2013)The keyboard is absolutely amazing with the new feature that can finish the word for you by making a small swipe up.
BlackBerry Z10 | Rated 80% by by D.-BarryThis review is really about the keyboard, but I can't finish it without saying how good the rest of the interface is.
BlackBerry Z10 | Rated 100% by by MJ (Mar, 2013)I believe this keyboard is as good as a software keyboard can get.
Type
BlackBerry Z10 | by John-McCann-and-Mary-Branscombe (Dec, 2012)The BlackBerry browser has also had a refresh for BB10, bringing it in line with the minimalist style of current offerings on other devices, and the location of the URL bar at the bottom of the page is reminiscent of Internet Explorer on Windows Phone.
BlackBerry Z10 | by John-McCann-and-Mary-Branscombe (Dec, 2012)RIM reckons that heavy users will quickly see a marked improvement once they start using the keyboard, as BlackBerry 10 will only take a couple of days to learn their style of writing.
BlackBerry Z10 | by Jonathan-S.-Geller (Jan, 2013)The company is forced to try to reinvent the smartphone and in the process just seems to end up making an iPhone, Android, and Windows Phone competitor that isn’t as good as any of them.
