An excellent effort from BlackBerry, the BB10 OS is smooth and has all the key features you'd expect. It's easy to navigate and the messaging hub is the best on any platform. The hardware included in the Z10 is also up there with iPhone and Galaxy S3...
BlackBerry had a lot of work to do just to keep itself in the premium smartphone game, let alone anywhere near the front of the pack, and it's safe to say that it hasn't cocked it up (it was probably a good idea to end any ongoing confusion by ditching...
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 crisp 4.2-in
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
BlackBerry 10 on the Z10 shows some promise. There are flashes of inspiration in there - they’re just lumped in with navigation features and interfaces that feel like they were put there just for the sake of being different. If you’ve already made the ...
It's still a little early to fully judge the BlackBerry Z10 as it could be the case that a few quick software updates and a flurry of new apps quickly put it strongly into contention. However, as it stands it comes up a little short.On the hardware front ...
Sharp 4.2inch screen; 8MP camera strong in daylight; Comprehensive and customisable Hub; Comfortable virtual keyboard
Uninspired design; Sparse online apps/media store; No killer features; Belowaverage battery life
Although the BlackBerry Z10 has plenty of great components, including a crisp 4.2-inch screen and capable 8MP camera, we can’t help but feel that it’s an unremarkable return for BlackBerry. BB10 itself is reasonably slick and given time we’re sure the fea...
The BlackBerry Z10 is a good device, but, as the flagship handset for a brand new platform, is it as desirable as, say, an iPhone 5 or Samsung Galaxy S3? In a word, no. There's nothing in particular that presents a massive problem with the Z10, but there...
Abstract: Could 30 January 2013 be the day that BlackBerry finally got back on track?We won't know for a while yet but what we do know that a lot is riding on the Canadian company's new operating system – BlackBerry 10 – and, initially at least, its brand new fla...

Abstract: 4G: £49.99 then £41 per month on a 24-month contractThere has never been more pressure on a single device than there is on the BlackBerry Z10. This is the phone, along with its keyboard-wielding sibling, that must save BlackBerry, challenge Apple and st...

Abstract: After nearly 3 years in the making, Research in Motion’s long delayed BlackBerry 10 operating system, and the smartphones that will run on it, has been unveiled. The specs unveiled are impressive, and already beat the iPhone 5.The London event is currentl...
A 1.5GHz dual-core processor, coupled with 2GB of RAM, Video calling via BlackBerry Messenger (BBM), “The Hub” – a single location to retrieve every notification on the device, Hot-swappable MicroSD card – it can be removed without turning the device off,
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,
Separating Agent Clark from the device proved challengingFor a first-generation device, this offering from BlackBerry goes to show just how 15 years of experience in the mobile industry pays off. Agent Andrews, who looks after our review samples was warne...
