After 2 days of use here in Switzerland I am impressed what they did. I will mainly use it for work but now I have a work mobile I like that is not an iPhone. Privately I do use an iPhone 5. There are a few things I had to get my head around, but the rest works like a charm so to speak. Great that Androids Apps work too, though you can see and feel they are not native. Stlli bugs to get out of the way and things they should change in regards to s/mimme. Nevet the less, looks good, works well and right screen size.
I really want BB to survive and flourish.
Why? Because they are the core of Communication! All the reporters that communicate with each other effortlessly and rapidly .. I think thats a fine market, rather than a phone that is a computer.
I just went to the Blackberry release party event last night in Los Angeles. This is a very solid phone.
I currently use an iPhone 5 and I am definitely going to be switching over to the Z10. One of the main things about it is that you can side-load apps from the Android market with ease. Best of the BB and Droid world combined.
