I myself until recently had a 4-Apple (ios7), my partner to half a year ago, BB Z10 (which they still missing) and now uses a 5s. I already had the BB Passport home but I prefer rather a "full" display.
It was also important to me to buy a smart phone which acts chic and classy in some extent
Also I would like now to fire no more than rambling paean to BlackBerry ... but the Z30 is now ultimately become my new smartphone for the following reasons:
- Powerful battery (2880mh)
- Smart + clearly structured OS and unmistakably arranged menu navigation - WITHOUT gimmick!
- Learners, well pleasing and large keyboard, for frequent Tipper (best on the market)
- Beautiful display without seeming overdone permanently
- Appealing look / feel of the hardware with the maximal ideal size for your pocket
- Good camera even though it is rather secondary for me
- Memory via MicroSD expandable to 64GB for music and Pics
- Open system for easy mouse click files, music etc to draw on the MicroSD card
- Very good reception power in mobile internet and telephony
- The message center (hub) is to have short cost per swipe without a running app. There, all entrances to collect and be processed there directly without the actual apps (eg threema, GMX, WhatsApp, e-mail account) go. Absolutely unique in the market!
- Android Apps running on the BB10 OS via Amazon Appstore - finally SUPER. This was not yet at Z10.
What could be improved in my eyes;
- The display brightness is always perfect adapted to the ambient brightness can be adjusted manually even "temporarily" but the automatic control can be deactivated net completely. This could disturb a or the other, I got used to it because as I said the sensor works really well! Too dark I can confirm net, outdoors too!
- Customization of the layout of the surface would be nice (but not required, that would be Category "gimmick" :))
Overall, and in my eyes a perfect smartphone - for'd say "power users".
Priced also now very attractive. Strong buy recommendation !!!!!!
