I am owning a Android phone, I am just fed up of it's UI and now this was the first time I have looked at black berry. The OS has intrigued me and I have watched the launch live, they have cut your hair good luck with your girl. So I am really impressed with how organized the OS is. Now I am stuck between a decision, to buy a Z10 or Q10, I don't know when they would launch in India. Thanks for this review man.
Man! I really have missed good ole Crackberry Kevin! He really breaks it down so you can really see it and how it works! I just learned something I didn't know that my Passport could do. Wow and the did this video 4 years ago! It looks like it was just done yesterday! He was the best reviewer ever! Come back full time Kevin and show these young whipper snappers how its done! Lol!
I've just got mine a couple of days ago and I am super-impressed. The balance, the versatility, the functionality. Wow. The memory esp. with Box, the speed. And the great battery life (first upgrade boosted it tremendously). Ok, I'm a Canadian, but I'd love to live in a world where everything worked as well as my BlackBerry's have over the years. How does Apple get away with a phone that doesn't work, an IPad that requires its own phone account and not get crucified in the marketplace?
I like the idea of the swiping, I don't understand how others would have trouble adapting? Doesn't seem that difficult to grab. I love the fact that it doesn't have a home or back button, something different. I'm definitely considering buying it once it's available in the US
Soooo maybe the keyboard version will be better suited for you? Or maybe overtime you'll get you use to gestures since it makes since on a touch screen device...
I'm interested in hearing Kevin's long-term review on the Q10 and Z10, after 6-8 months. Is he beholden to BB? If there are any negatives to either device, will be able to "report" them?
1)Many ideas copied from android and ios but have used it in their own creative way. 2)Keyboard is really really nic nd smart. 3)Its all about gestures. No back button or option button so its gonna b a lil irritating and wil have to get used to it 4)Gestures are irritating but they help cos u can check your messages and notifications without quitting what your doing. According to me overall cool phone. But overtime it could feel troublesome using gestures every single time.
So with bb10 are we gonna get a ton more app support? I love my blackberry bold 9900 but when I sold my iphone 4 I def missed some of the apps. Seems like every app I have on my blackberry had a much much better iphone equivalent. Especially my banking and finance ones.
I've had my Z10 for just three days shy of a month now and I'm still enjoying using it everyday as my daily phone however, there are some things that I hope to see addressed. First, there are some options & features that I hope to see come to the OS via a future update including the option to choose to use either a 4 digit pin or password to unlock the phone, the option to choose to display a battery percentage, & a data usage monitor. Aside from that, we need more big name apps like Instagram.
The "contact activity" isn't new. That is available in OS7. However, he said it's always pulling down data about your contacts, so that would explain the reports of short battery life. ;)
Great Review. Makes it look simple I just got a Z10 and it was driving me Nuts This video should give me a lot of direction.I switched from an I phone 4 I have you bookmarked
So after getting use to the BBM OS stock setting, what else can you do? Exactly nothing. Jail broken iPhone can do everything what BBM 10 and beyond. There's no stopping of customization with a jail broken iPhone. iPhone still the best smart phone.
Depends on what part of the world you live in.. whats so confusing. do you not know where you live? In the UK, the BlackBerry Z10 will be available beginning tomorrow In Canada, the BlackBerry Z10 will be available on February 5th. In the UAE, the BlackBerry Z10 will be available on February 10th. In the U.S. market, we expect availability with most carriers for the BlackBerry Z10 to be in March. Today, U.S. carriers will start announcing pre-registration and price plans.
I prefer the q10 because the bb keyboard is the best part of the keyboard i was wondering if the specs are the same in the q10 along with the swipe thins being the same.
Is it possible to customized the main page? This is the only thing I am not quite sure about this blackberry... I'm a blackberry user and the main this I miss compare to android it's the main page. Exemple, being able to show the temperature next to the time, changing the font and dynamic wallpaper. I may not be clear but would love a video showing if we can change the display and how.
so perfect. finally getting mine in 2 excruciating weeks. I am so amped. I anticipate that I will not be able to put it down! great video btw Kevin... EVERYONE elses video sucks and teaches nothing. Did you do the instagram thing? just wondering
Does the Z10 has Snapdragon processor in India, because in a tear down video on youtube shows it has a Samsung processor. Even the box DOES NOT contain any document stating, it has a S4 pocessor..
As someone who hates everything BlackBerry, the UI is actually pretty cool. It is a bit too complicated w/ the swiping to get to different parts of the phone. Like why wud u swipe a bunch of time to get to your homescreen or hub, when u shud be able to just tap a button (iPhone) or touch the home button (android). Otherwise tho its cool. Apps are sorely lacking especially compared to ios or android (the maps app is horrible). The keyboard though is better than any phone keyboard i've seen
Good video, well made. Nothing about the camera or video. Phone looks good. The best part about the phone is that it only keeps 8 apps open, with android you never know what running even with tasks killers.
It's not like they is many ways to make a phone.... What you expect. Triangle? a Circle? It's quite distinctive of an iPhone considering the room for difference is there.
Because it's a holdover relic and the reason why BB isn't being taken "seriously" by potential customers in the iDroid world. Not to mention the Q10 looks like the Curve replacement. I thought the N10 was to be the Bold successor? Maybe that one will get more hype. But if BB wants to become a relevant player in the game again, they will have to stop pushing dinosaurs and focus more attention on their all-touch device(s).
hmm yeah i agree man...but as this is their 1st gen bb10 devices ..i think the next gen will be at par with all the other devices...with all the apps that'll come :)
This is the best smartpone in market now, realy elegant smart powerfull good looking i been using z10 for 3 weeks and i realy love it, i used to have a iphone 4s many phones from android and realy got tired of them i wouldn't even change my phone with galaxy s4 which i realy hate!!!!!!!!!!! and there is one more great thing i never put case on it couse it's made that u be able to use without case realy feels good in your hand and the leater on the back is realy nice, u can put ur phone anywere!
Ummm yeah notification bar in my opinion is better..you cant interact with the web browser while its out like that plus the notification bar in my opinion is is alot easier to use
You forgot to mention their amazing map experience that blackberry offers.. Oh wait that's half baked. This phone is brilliant and the os isn't bad but can the app store make a mark on the smartphone market
Y'all are nuts. While this phone is obviously functional, there's no way I'm thinking this thing is anywhere close to the Galaxy s4, iPhone 5, or even the HTC 1
I've owned a S4, I can say this most certainly beats it. The only thing this phone lacks is the app store variety. However, the stable OS, and fluid interface more than makes up for this. Android is not very optimized. I can see how this would be the same as the iphone though.
You provided one of the Best Reviews for the Blackberry Z10 This was a great presentation!
Ive had mine for a few days now and I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!

Confirmed and in the works actually... As a photographer this was a deciding factor for me which is exactly why I'm definitely getting it.

It seems like a great first version of an OS! It's gorgeous!
Love it :D
hope it gets better day after day...i would love to get my hands on this beauty :)

Fantastic review, Kevin! :)

02:30 awesome sound dude
Yes there is but I don't know when it will be available. Search for Blackberry Q10
So with bb10 are we gonna get a ton more app support? I love my blackberry bold 9900 but when I sold my iphone 4 I def missed some of the apps. Seems like every app I have on my blackberry had a much much better iphone equivalent. Especially my banking and finance ones.

Best review on Z10 !
Great Review. Makes it look simple I just got a Z10 and it was driving me Nuts
This video should give me a lot of direction.I switched from an I phone 4
I have you bookmarked
You'd still leave the app to check your message. How is it that different from the notification panel?
Best review...and I watching this in 2015!
Watching it in 2017, and I still think this is the best vision of what a phone OS should be
@@migvelv still true a decade later
So after getting use to the BBM OS stock setting, what else can you do? Exactly nothing. Jail broken iPhone can do everything what BBM 10 and beyond. There's no stopping of customization with a jail broken iPhone. iPhone still the best smart phone.
Getting the Z10 In August Cant Wait!!!!
Getting this phone tomorrow! So exited :D
not really. do you have Blackberry Internet Services (BIS)? you get it from your gsm provider
Depends on what part of the world you live in.. whats so confusing. do you not know where you live?
In the UK, the BlackBerry Z10 will be available beginning tomorrow
In Canada, the BlackBerry Z10 will be available on February 5th.
In the UAE, the BlackBerry Z10 will be available on February 10th.
In the U.S. market, we expect availability with most carriers for the BlackBerry Z10 to be in March. Today, U.S. carriers will start announcing pre-registration and price plans.

I absolutely love my Z10
So ahead of its time...
Should i get it on black or white?
i can't wait to see Blackberry OS 11
This is a done deal for me. Can't wait for my first BB!
so perfect. finally getting mine in 2 excruciating weeks. I am so amped. I anticipate that I will not be able to put it down! great video btw Kevin... EVERYONE elses video sucks and teaches nothing. Did you do the instagram thing? just wondering
woow i like it .. but i have a question ..> how much is it ?
I had it. I loved it. It's kept turning off though so I got the iphone5 and love it
Yes they have a bb10 with keyboard its released at the same time.
does it have apps to video cam with other phones other than bb? My kids have Ipads so I want to know if I can still video web with them
Ahh, I want one.. Lost my IPhone around Christmas and AT&T won't work with me to get a new one..
Sup Kevin. I just want to know when the Q10 will be in AT&T??!?!
It supports flash so I'm going to have a hard time on choosing what smartphone to upgrade into.
Does the Z10 has Snapdragon processor in India, because in a tear down video on youtube shows it has a Samsung processor. Even the box DOES NOT contain any document stating, it has a S4 pocessor..
Great job rim! Am going to buy q10 and z10! RIM going to take care finely this time! Only need to hold until March! ATT US! :(
You're video editing software messed up the audio stream when blurring the contact info at 2:29

Will there be a bb running with bb10 that has a keyboard????? Please reply!
Good video, well made. Nothing about the camera or video. Phone looks good. The best part about the phone is that it only keeps 8 apps open, with android you never know what running even with tasks killers.
When is the q10 going to be released
Same. I'm switching from a Nexus 4 to the Z10.
the phone's that good?
Instagram hasn't been made for the bb10. but you can install the andriod version on it by porting it.
The device is on a phased release. What's so hard to understand about that? Let me guess. iPhone user?
from what source are u saying this?
Maybe not adobe, but it has flash support.
i cant wait for my BDAY in april
and what about battery life ?
its not going to have instagram!?
Buying this in white :D excited
any updates on when eBay / paypal apps will be released for the BB10 os? anyone?
what about the physical keyboard bb?!!!
same man getting it in August only a few more weeks
help, I can't get it to just vibrate.I'm missing calls and messages.
does it have instagram? and can you download the app keek no problem?
It's not like they is many ways to make a phone.... What you expect. Triangle? a Circle? It's quite distinctive of an iPhone considering the room for difference is there.

soon,my precious, very soon...
is blacberry has skype.?. pls show how to install..
you could convert it from android. But... you have a lot impressive foto filters build in BB 10
the swipe system is same as bb playbook
correction there is a voice control that does many things that siri and google now do
EXCITED BB10! :D
Talk is that it may actually be coming (unlike that seeming limbo with Windows Phone). Nothing definite yet.
Lol nice Kitchener Rangers logo Martin has in BBM!
hmm yeah i agree man...but as this is their 1st gen bb10 devices ..i think the next gen will be at par with all the other devices...with all the apps that'll come :)
great video! im torn between galaxy and blackberry. im trying so hard to stay loyal to them..
Fabulous! The browser is so fast. Prefer it to iphone. Fantastic phone.
Did he say it has adobe flash
online rumors + ATT rep are saying late april of this year is the best estimate...
like the new style
It sucks that this is only for Verison
not currently....
there is nothing like google now on BB 10 but BB 10 is a first gen OS in its defense
yes it supports flash
This is the best smartpone in market now, realy elegant smart powerfull good looking i been using z10 for 3 weeks and i realy love it, i used to have a iphone 4s many phones from android and realy got tired of them i wouldn't even change my phone with galaxy s4 which i realy hate!!!!!!!!!!! and there is one more great thing i never put case on it couse it's made that u be able to use without case realy feels good in your hand and the leater on the back is realy nice, u can put ur phone anywere!
I never thought Blackberry would do anything right!
looks confusing though.
i wanna see the music app :(
It's coming soon !!! :D
you can add android apps on bb10
there is no need for a home button. Just swipe from the button upwards...
"I have drinks in a few hours here" BULLSHIT, forever alone! put that just for the vid haha
Does anyone else get the bug on their youtube app where it goes from 1080p to 320p and stays like that the whole time? Its SOOOI anoying
blackberry can still be on top but most people just don't use bbm anymore. and that's what gave bb an edge..
android 2.3 emulation?
Ummm yeah notification bar in my opinion is better..you cant interact with the web browser while its out like that plus the notification bar in my opinion is is alot easier to use
You forgot to mention their amazing map experience that blackberry offers.. Oh wait that's half baked. This phone is brilliant and the os isn't bad but can the app store make a mark on the smartphone market
I don't see my self using bb10 anytime soon But it looks interesting
- it is going to have instagram as it has already been announced
Y'all are nuts. While this phone is obviously functional, there's no way I'm thinking this thing is anywhere close to the Galaxy s4, iPhone 5, or even the HTC 1

Nah
