After the price cut,Its the most envious "budget " smartphone!
Yash Nair (May 21, 2014)
on Gadgets 360
BlackBerry Z 10 launched at above 43k made it a tough buy.
But after the staggering price cut, at about 17.5k currently it's one of the best budget buys!
Probably the sexiest looking smartphone
Sleek,stylish
Spec look fabulous: 1.5 ghz snapdragon dual core, 2GB Ram,8mp+2 mp camera etc at a price worth lusting for.
Double it up with secure BlackBerry 10 OS with decent amount of apps
The most striking feature is the support for .apk files
So android apps (3rd party of course since no Google play and services) can be installed.
Since m using the phone myself since over a month, I'd add that ANDROID INTERNET DEPENDANT APPS DONT WORK ON CELLULAR INTERNET CONNECTION. THEY ONLY WORK ON WIFI.
Gaming is good on the device. Graphics are crisp thanks to the high resolution though not a full hd screen. The device tends to heat up though, sadly ruining the experience.
Camera is an average 8MP shutter which gives decent images in sunlight. However in dark the camera struggles and gives below par images at times. Front camera is okay, good for selfish and video calls.
The phone calling,internet,messaging and of course BBM is flawless.
The phone doesnt hang too, thanks to the ample amount of Ram.
Multimedia looks good. Speakers are moderately loud and clear playback os assured.
On 3g the phone lasts for around 5-6 hours on normal usage and 10 hours on 2g on moderate to high usage. But one can always keep an extra battery since it has a removable one (unlike most other flagships)
The os looks stunning and refreshing. It is gesture based upto some extent but easy to learn and handle
Security is one of the best pros in using a BlackBerry. The hub integration is amazing. Also, the new picture screen lock is one of the most innovative and safest technique by far according to me.
Also,owning a BlackBerry gives a sense of pride, which no android phone can replicate.
Probably the best phone at this price Point
Pros:
BlackBerry os
Android app support
Screen quality
Gesture based UI
Brand Value
Cons :
Camera to some extent
Lack of native BlackBerry apps
Heating problems
Overall the phone is a sure head turner.
Nd a tough to neglect buy at this new price point

Blackberry Z10 has exceptional build quality coupled with decent hardware. It gets the work done. The gesture based OS is easy to learn and the "flick" enabled keyboard is intuitive and lightning fast. The inbuilt apps include everything what Android and iOS have plus the Note app has Evernote linking and the File Manager links the Dropbox, Box and One Drive account. On the 3rd party apps side, basic 3rd party apps are available and there are ways to side load android apps if you are hungry for more. I find the phone complete in all aspects but one, battery only lasts for 8 hours on heavy usage....

5 reason to go for BlackBerry
Akshay Maini (May 7, 2014)
on Gadgets 360
1. Smooth scrolling between apps. The finger gesture is pretty convenient as compared to other smartphone.
2. The typing on blackberry keyboard us fastest as compared to others. The key spacing and word suggestions popping on keypad makes its so easy ti type.
3 cell reception is stronger in blackberry. I get one or two bars extra on blackberry than other smartphones with same carrier.
4 security software in blackberry works superb well and keep ur business safe.
5 my personal view on usability, using BlackBerry in hands is like the phone wants u to use it so wel placed in hands

if for some reason you have to cancel your email that was set up with your blackberry sign in and you need to recover your password you cant. Even Blackberry Support Cant so your phone locks out after trying so many times and your sool. Have to buy a new phone but not blackberry.

I read through many reviews
MrTurtle (Jun 8, 2014)
on Amazon
I read through many reviews on the Z10 before purchasing it from Amazon and I have to say that I am glad I did. The seller Tailwind International has (at the time of this writing) STL1000-3 models (which have LTE) that are factory unlocked from AT&T. I would HIGHLY recommend them as they are very helpful. In case anyone reading this review is thinking about putting this phone on straight talk wireless service, know that I was able to successfully get this device working on ST's service with Data, MMS, voice, and texting all working fairly easily (But do this at your own risk as things could change!).As for the device itself, I originally had an old BlackBerry Curve so I've been blown away by what this device can do (and the STL1000-3 comes with the snapdragon processor, which makes it super snappy!). The hub keeps everything in one spot so that you can check messages of multiple accounts at a glance. I haven't had it running long enough to go into detail about the battery life, but from what I've seen the battery is fairly good in getting through a work day of heavy use (if you turn off bluetooth, etc.).Overall I really love this device and am glad to have something that is so functional, professional, yet fun at the same time. It takes a little getting used to with the swipes and all, but once you have that down it's a breeze.

No matter which sub-model you
Charlotte M. Martin (Apr 30, 2014)

No matter which sub-model you purchase. A $750 phone for around $200 how can anybody pass this up. Also it can run Android apps. What more do you want? More speed? Spend more money, because you're not going to find it in this price range.

I really like the size of the screen which allows me to see more detail information, I like it because it allows me slim better handling. I like that it is unlocked because I can use it in Venezuela with Movistar operator.
