BB10 is a good OS and BlackBerry Balance comes in handy for professionals
You could possibly lump this in the ‘Bad’ section just as easily
But the BlackBerry Z10 really looks like an iPhone 5. Several people we showed it to actually got confused between the two. Of course that’s not necessarily an insult. There’s only so many ways to make a black slab
And if anything
It’s a testament to the pleasant balance BlackBerry’s struck when it comes to size

The editors didn't like
No native Outlook syncing functionality is a big surprise - see our work-around here

Good looking although slightly generic styling
It's worth noting that I was test-driving a pre-release copy
Apps are lacking
Hard to find or too expensive
Interface quirks will prove annoying
Awful maps app
Mediocre battery life
Expensive
Design is uninspiring
Limited choice of apps
No killer features
Disappointing battery life
The occasional lag and bug (email updates
Apps)
Slow startup and reboot
GPS and Maps need work
Mediocre camera in low lighting
Battery life!
Low volume in the telephone speaker
Not enough nonbusiness related apps in BlackBerry App World
We don’t have many complaints about the BlackBerry Z10’s hardware
But we will say this
The camera’s pretty pathetic. You won’t notice it in daylight
But in badly lit rooms it doesn’t so much struggle as fail completely

The main problems are with BlackBerry 10 itself. Aside from a few nice touches - an
Uncompetitive audio and video performance
Few apps
Interface quirks might prove annoying to some
Uninspiring design
Uninspired design
Sparse online apps/media store

Battery life is a serious concern
Missing apps means it's a step behind
Internet performance could be better

Screen could be a tad brighter
It feels a little hefty in the hand
And there are elements of the software that are unintuitive or need to be tweaked
Consistent smooth performance, Lots of included accessories, Still a great messaging device
Understated design, Terrible battery life, Tough to remove smudges from the display, Basic map & voice control apps
Oh BlackBerry! We had some serious high hopes with this smartphone, well, more with the new platform of course. In the US, it isn’t going to arrive until March, where it’ll be sporting that golden price of $200 with a 2-year contract. First impression...

RIM reborn… and now it’s BlackBerry, if you don’t mind. Rebranded, refreshed, and desperate to impress, you can’t knock BlackBerry’s enthusiasm about its now-eponymous platform. Then again, it’s had several months of delays in which to practice, and th...

The size and build quality are excellent, Feels good to hold, The software keyboard is exemplary, Camera is a passable point-and-shoot, Performance is mostly smooth, Battery life is respectable, and should get you through a work day
BlackBerry 10 and its gestures definitely take getting used to, Specs are OK, but not necessarily for the price, You're dealing with an entirely new smartphone platform, so the app store leaves much to be desired

The BlackBerry Z10 hardware is good-looking, well-built and functional. The display is top of the line, and it's big but not too large at 4.2 inches. It has a removable battery and expandable memory. The camera isn't the best I've used on a smartphone...
