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

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
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
Sparse online apps/media store
Belowaverage battery life
There's nothing you can't find elsewhere
Some strange quirks to the UI suggest some holes need plugging
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
OK battery life
Complicated file manager
Poor app offering
Software can stall
Bad battery
Not enough apps
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
