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

No native Outlook syncing functionality is a big surprise - see our work-around here

Limited choice of apps

Slow startup and reboot
GPS and Maps need work

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
Churning out pitch black images where Nokia’s excellent PureView sensor pulls out detail.No
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

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

Although I am not a BlackBerry fan, but this device got me hooked. The looks, and also the smooth OS give the device plus points. However, there is a big but, the price. At Rs.42,000 this is a pricey deal. Even though I am tempted, I wouldn't waste the hu...
