KFRCanuk Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Upgraded from Bold 9780. I have iPod touches, ipads, samsung galaxy TAB 10.1 and a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2. I gotta say the z10 is a pretty good phone. I'm missing some apps but I can deal with it. I can also run android apps if I really need to. The z10 interface is very swooshy. I like the interface better than android. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatOfThePig Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I love it. My previous phone was an iphone 4 and the Z10 is a lot better. Fewer apps but it's ok for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotsofcoke Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I got one. Love it. Top notch product. With no complaints since day one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsad Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Incidentally, since Prem reads this board, he will be very upset at anyone who buys any other phone instead of a Z10 or Q10. He will not pay your annual dividend if he finds out you bought a non-Blackberry phone. He will also get Thorsten to break your little, girly phones with his big brawny hands. ;D He's a big guy...looks slight on television, but he's big! Cheers!

Shawn Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I've had a white Blackberry Curve 9360 for 2 years now (maybe a bit longer) and I love it. I was waiting on the Q10 but I like the design of the Q5 better. I'm looking to upgrade to a red Blackberry Q5 when it comes out. However, if I don't like the Q5 I figure I'll just change to the Z10. I like that the Q5 comes in different colors. It'd be awesome if the rest of the Q5 phones could come in many different colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh4580 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I switched from a Samsung S4 to a Q10. The phone is great but there really are no apps available, not even a Chase app. Everything else I pretty much like. The browser is a bit slow. I hated the Samsung S4. The screen was so big you had to use two hands. I couldnt type in english at all, even using Swipe. The apps would always freeze and Android has weird boxes that show up that have no use at all. I think andriod is horrible and clunky. Bbry needs to start investing more heavily in app development asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodstove Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I've got a Z10 (and also a second-hand Playbook, sigh). It's a good device. Some things I would like to see improved, but overall a good interface, very reliable, good communications punch-thru (most phones cannot work from within my basement office), way more apps than I have time for. What I like overall is the company's orientation to high-productivity people. The apps I wish for are along those lines. The QNX Momentics app development environment is very good quality, and the phone is full of sensors and other goodies, and power!, that make it a very nice device to develop for. My own developing is for personal use, not for the app store. But if one is developing for the app store, it is a good value-type opportunity. Think of it ... not a huge number of competitors, a high-income high-expectation group of potential purchasers, Blackberry looks after all your distribution, so you can concentrate on producing quality code and user interface. And most of the user interface design conventions are already defined, with numerous example codes that you can adapt to suit your app. I had hoped that the Playbook would be continued with support, or some sort of trade-in program to get a larger memory model, maybe. It is a device for reading science papers, in my case, and I find the tablet size preferrable to the Z10 screen size. However the Z10's screen is 1280x768 and the browser and Adobe are fully working, so that is good -- just my old eyes have to squint when a paper is in two-columns.
