CrackBerry is back in the Z10.
By Ugly Tuco
I am currently typing this review on my Z10, simply because I love flick typing on the new keyboard so much!I just dropped my Android for the Z10, and could not be happier.The biggest surprise has been the apps. With all of the negative press about how BlackBerry World does not have as many apps as Apple and Google...My expectations were very low. However, comparing my Android experience to BlackBerry has been a surprise. I was with Android fairly early on, and I can tell you that BlackBerry has come to market with a much better app environment than Android did. Since Android improved greatly over the last few years, I am very confident that BlackBerry will far exceed my expectations.The operating system on the Z10 is awesome. After a couple of days it now feels second nature.My wife has an iPhone, and she may switch after seeing the Z10. Neither of us have ever owned a BlackBerry. I believe that says a lot.One final comment... I love the control I have over my security. BlackBerry allows me to encrypt my personal files and data. The control I now have over my apps is also refreshing. I can see what each app accesses and control what I feel comfortable with.Overall, I highly recommend this phone to anyone. I will be putting this phone in front of friends and family.PS: Video BBM is also great fun, and free! Although, I never realized how scary I looked on camera!

Excellent New (Old) Option
By ashertopia
I've been using this phone for the last few days and I have to say I'm surprised at how good it is. I was a Blackberry user several years ago and then switched to Android and frankly BB didn't come close in terms of functionality, performance or customization. But this new BB Z10 is much better. Why? Because it's finally like the Smartphones that have been kicking its butt.The Good+This BB has the same ease of use in setting up accounts that you would expect. I set up Yahoo!, Gmail, and enterprise with just a few clicks. I also set up Facebook, Twitter and Dropbox (all built in). All these messaging systems, along with BB Messenger, are in the BB Hub, which is found on any screen by swiping right on your screen. You get all the notifications from all your messages in a unified inbox. If you want to view specific services swipe right again and you can edit your hub or simply click on any of the services to view only those messages.+The camera is outstanding! The time capture is something that Google will be ripping off, er, emulating ASAP. You take a picture and it actually takes 10 in a row. You can then move the slider back and forth to find the best pic (you know for blurriness, closed eyes, etc) and - this is amazing - you can find the best pic of each of the faces from DIFFERENT captures, select the best, and then merge them together. So if me and my wife are taking pictures of ourselves (for Facebook of course) and I'm blinking on capture 1-9, but am perfect on capture 10, then click my face on capture 10, and pic the best of my wife from any of the others and then merge and you have a perfect picture. I can't say enough about how awesome that is!+Functions like you expect with all swipe and touch controls.+Dedicated BB screen for apps that are currently being used. And all other screens to the right are you installed apps. No app drawer, which is nice. You can easily create folders on your home screens by simply dragging and dropping. Apple users will love that you can create folders from EVERY icon, unlike that magazine rack icon that can't be messed with on iOS. Apple users will also feel right at home with the constant home screens lined up in rows.+The keyboard's predictive text is amazing. It learns what you type and will start to select likely words for you and allow you to choose them by simply sliding your finger from below to above the word. Or you can ignore it and continue to type.+Processor and RAM is right on target. 4G LTE with Verizon makes this one run as fast as it can.The Bad-I don't like the lack of back screen. I never got used to having to swipe off the app I was in (ala Palm Pre, swiping up). I wanted to simply go back one screen.-I missed swipe keyboard. I like the predictive text and for button pushers that's great but for those of us who swipe it was a slower way of writing.-There are 100-150k apps as of launch, but that is still way below Android and iOS. The good news is that BB created a conversion program to convert Android to BB apps and is actively pursuing the top apps. In fact, they have more at launch than Windows or Android did. Good start, but it will be a while before I get all the ones I want and use daily.Overall, this is a great phone. I recommend it to Apple users who like the walled garden and look of their home screens and also to enterprise users looking to continue with BB. Casual users of Windows or Android may also like this. But for those of us who are heavily invested in Android, hacking, have a ton of apps, etc it may not work for us. A worthy competitor. Welcome back Blackberry!
