REVIEW blackberry Q10

by Brian Bennet @cnet.com

[WHAT]

1. SUMMARY-  Review@Cnet.com by Staff
   
1. ] It builds on the greatness of past BlackBerry messaging machines, yet blends this with modern smartphone software powerful enough to run multiple apps at once without skipping a beat. It also surfs Web sites like a champ and has a battery that goes the distance.
2. ] A deep and luscious all-black, the slablike Q10 has an appearance that's all buttoned up and ready for business.
3. ] The BlackBerry Q10's keyboard is the star of this show. With a full four rows and 35 keys, the device's QWERTY layout is exceptionally comfortable. The keys are 30 percent bigger than those on previous models. the surfaces of the Q10's buttons are sculpted with ridges and concave depressions. The end result is that you can intuitively feel where the center of each key is, and more importantly, know when you stray. Key travel is deep as well, and key presses give a satisfying click.

[WHY] PROS

1. ] a superb physical keyboard,
   
2. ] the latest BlackBerry OS (version 10.1),
   
3. ] smooth performance, and
   
4. ] long battery life.

[WHY NOT] CONS

1. ] screen is small.
   
2. ] Its camera is average, not exceptional.
   
3. ] BlackBerry 10’s learning curve is long and its
   
4. ] app selection trails behind those of its competitors

[CONCLUSIONS]

1. ] a great phone for QWERTY diehards and e-mail addicts, but anyone who doesn't need a physical keyboard should skip it.
