First Impression:
+ A cell phone that balanced in your hand is: 12cm x 6,6cm x 10.8cm
+ The workmanship is ok for the price range
+ The SD card and the SIM card located on the left in a drawer
+ Right You are volume buttons, with which you also the music player
can play / stop
+ Weight is ok: 120gramm
+ USB slot is optimal and holds the plug without wobbling
- The battery is integrated and can not be exchanged
- Apps of BB can not uninstall (Remember, Youtube, ...)
Display:
The 3.1 "display is a bit strange in the beginning by the almost square size, it happens that some have videos above and below a black bar also surfing the Internet is thus -... You have a little bit different here with enlargement . work, but once you get used to it - great.
Very sharp resolution of the display and enjoyable to read, thanks to the LCD display.
Even in direct sunlight and minimal change in the viewing angle, the screen is easily visible.
Keyboard:
I was looking for a phone with keyboard, as with me personally 4000-5000 SMS per month are common. The Qwerty keyboard of BB is the best I ever had. During Q10 the pressure points of the buttons are just outside - not directly centered. When Q5 the pressure point of the button are exactly centered. For me perfectly, because so fast without writing much "effort" and is tiring fingers possible.
Positive is here that the dictionary automatically learns and eventually accurately represents all the words, as you put it most.
Memory:
The internal memory is 8GB. Whereby here pretty much occupied by internal applications. The extension with a micro SD card is but trouble. Up to 32GB.
Software:
BB 10
Since the end of July there is a new software update in Germany.
The operating system is stable and allows fast operation - Internet, Apps, ...
Telephony:
Amazing :) A very different listening callee. I've never personally telephoned so clear and pure with a smartphone. Who cares this "clear" call, the BB more bass or sounds can indulge.
Battery:
Personally, I write a lot SMS. Bit Whatsapp. Emails. The battery keeps this strain good 2, almost 3 days, as. For continuous load as Internet connection via Wi-Fi can be however almost watch the battery suffers.
Internet:
Fast Internet browser which allows some adjustment.
A clear advantage is here playing Flash.
Camera:
Nice :)
Here at the latest you realize unfortunately that is not the photograph with this BB in the foreground. In optimal lighting conditions, the 5MP camera is good.
Once it becomes a little darker, arises in the pictures a lot of noise. Also, the autofocus is available ... ...;)
Music / video:
Crisp HD video thanks when recording.
Music playback via the internal player and is ok. By his own estimate some little bass and slightly too high.
BlackBerry World:
The own App Store by BB. Compared to Android stores, this is seehr clearly. Here there are only very selected apps, mostly for business customers. But there are, for example WhatsApp for BB.
BlackBerryHub:
One of the best options on BB. With a mop to the right you are in the hub and have listed chronologically what has arrived to News - SMS, PIN, phone calls, e-mails ....
The incoming data will be sorted by date & time - thus the most current news always above.
A mop up and you are back on the homescreen of the BB.
Cute gimmicks:
+ Voice control: if a significant debate very reliable
+ Navigation software: nice for clear routes
+ Clear calendar with many functions
+ BlackBerry Link: optimum connection between BB and laptop. Through Wi-Fi from
anywhere access to data
Total:
For me, currently the best companion as a smartphone. And one of the few phones still with a full keyboard.
Who can make a few compromises in display size and apps and how I emphasizes a keyboard - is well served by this BB.
And do not worry because the business touch the BB has - also suitable for beginners or non-business people ... :)
