The New BlackBerry Z10
As I said in my last post, I played with the BlackBerry Z10 the
other day and I thought that it was amazing. Well, the truth be told, it is!
The BB’s specs are off the charts compared to their previous
models. The processor they chose is even competitive to phones like the iPhone
and HTCs. Just to confirm with some people, yes this is the same chip used in
the Samsung Galaxy SIII.
There is one issue I have with this phone and that is the apps. It
comes with amazing apps to start such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Docs
to Go (trial). However, other apps will not be developed like the ones on iOS
and Android operating systems. Think of this in the same light as Windows 8;
the numbers of apps were low the first day it came out, but they continued to
grow and still are to this day. This has to be the only downfall that I see as
of right now.
To sum up this post, I wish I had played with the phone a bit
longer. I was impressed with everything about it from the physical layout and
design, all the way to how basic apps it comes with operate and layout. If you
decide to get one soon then I suggest you learn one feature: put your thumb on
the BlackBerry logo and push up to get back to the home screen. Go try one for
yourself; it is an amazing smart phone. Congratulations BlackBerry, you did it
when nobody else thought you could, including me.

Glad I could help out with the picture! I'm really interested to see how this phone does on the market. Hoping for the best considering Blackberry (formerly RIM) is a Canadian company.
ReplyDeleteI agree Colin! I don't think they have been moving with the times as they should've, but at the same time, I root for their success more than I do Apple's
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a great phone and I hope they do well too. I would be curious to learn more about the warranty they offer.
ReplyDeleteIf BB keeps their current warranty, this means that only manufacturer defects are covered. Research into your service provider to see if they offer extended and accidental warranties. Apple is the only company I know of that offers their own extended warranty that has accidental coverage included. This sounds like another blog topic coming along.
DeleteThe phone looks great, but it will be interesting to see if the predictions about RIM come true. It would be sad to see a Canadian company bite the dust.
ReplyDeleteBB will make a comeback as they already have started to with the Z10.
