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
Gesture based navigation took a little time to get used to
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

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
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

Battery life is a serious concern
Missing apps means it's a step behind
Internet performance could be better
Lack of flagship apps on launch
Plastic case not premium
Lack of apps
UI not for everyone
Some apps lack features
Apps need improving

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
Fantastic and smooth user experience systemwide, Pleasing camera performance in daylight, Removable battery
Lacks polished apps developed specifically for BlackBerry 10, Battery life still a concern, Bit costly
BlackBerry Z10 is a commendable attempt by the company to bring itself back in the game; to recapture its slowly sliding market share and attract more consumers to its eco-system. As a standalone device, we are impressed with the attempt and the operating...
Very Expensive, OS might be confusing for some, Limited apps as of now
At the first glance, the Z10 looks a bit similar to the iPhone. But there is a huge difference - there is no homescreen button on the Z10, whose front is dominated by a 4.2-inch touchscreen. The rear has a nice rubberised plastic panel that lets the user ...
Abstract: E ditor's note: This review is based on an early seeding unit that was given to select media outlets. Subsequent to the device's release in the Indian market, the phone has received an OS update that resolves some of the issues highlighted in this review...
Impressive performance, Elegant display, Both 3G & 4G enabled, Excellent camera
Overpriced, No Radio, Only microSIM
By having a glimpse at the BlackBerry Z10 Review says that it is a decent handset with some good features. However, it is expensive considering its features. There is nothing very new in this phone except BlackBerry's10 platform. BlackBerry Z10 Price in I...
There’s a lot to like with Blackberry 10, it takes a renewed take on what a smartphone should look and feel like and while some of the ideas’ execution leaves something to be desired, the general sentiment is positive. The Z10 combines decent, yet hi...

The Z10 is a good start for BlackBerry's new operating system. But it has to answer two key questions for BlackBerry – will it excite existing BlackBerry users and will it tempt Android or iPhone users to jump ship? The answer to the first question is a l...
Built like a rock, without feeling rough, Classy minimalistic design, BB10 stacked UI is very slick, Gestures actually help with swift navigation, Surprisingly good camera, Time Shift camera feature is very neat, Excellent browser, Very good display - cri
BB10 has quite a few bugs that need ironing out, Email sync isn't as smooth as in OS7 and earlier, Quite a few popular apps are still missing, Link desktop software misses out on critical features, Google contact sync tends to duplicate contacts at times
With the Z10, BlackBerry seems to be turning a corner, but the company runs the risk of understeering around the bend. The full-touch Z10 is a very good smartphone, looking at the hardware, the specifications and the potential – hints of which can be extr...
The BlackBerry Z10 has been priced at Rs. 43,490 which puts the price in the iPhone 5 and HTC Butterfly category. At this price point, it makes it very difficult to recommend the smartphone to anyone except die-hard BlackBerry users. For everyone else, ou...
If you should, you probably already know you should. BlackBerry 10 still excels at everything that BB has excelled at for years. Its utility for planning and coordinating and taking in and processing a massive amount of information is unchanged. And while...
