REVIEW blackberry z10 @ engadget

by Engadget Staff

[WHAT]

  1. SUMMARY-  Review@Engadget by Staff

[WHY] PROS

  1. ] "definite cleverness to BlackBerry 10 that could make it the go-to choice, especially for those who live and die by their messaging."
  2. ] "Q10. It's a rare instance of giving a portrait QWERTY smartphone the true spotlight, rather than treating it as a budget or niche model - the Q10 caters to an underserved audience and, really, represents the BlackBerry's home turf. If the company can deliver a truly standout experience to keyboard lovers, it may corner a market that has been sorely lacking."
  3. ] "BlackBerry pretty much nailed the devices and OS."
  4. ] "As a consumer, the width of the market you shop in just got bigger and arguably better and that's a huge win."
  5. ] "What's particularly encouraging is that revamped OS -- the on-screen keyboard looks excellent, the gestures strike me as a refreshing take on phone navigation and the overall feel of the UI is about 10 times better than what was there previously."
  6. ] "BlackBerry's hardware appears to be the most promising change in the company's resurgence. While critics have pushed for modernization, it's good to see the company hasn't completely abandoned what brought it to the dance in the first place. For the longest time, I've felt that premium smartphones with physical keyboards were a dying breed, however with devices like the BlackBerry Q10 on the horizon, hopefully this won't be the case.

[WHY NOT] CONS

  1. ] there's no single killer feature that will drive a full-scale flock of people to BB 10 and rocket it into a solid third position in the mobile OS race
  2. ] there are still hurdles -- terrible maps, poor app selection and a rather disappointing camera
