Good: Qt/Cascades dev tools

Bad: Overpriced, buggy, not consistently smooth, laggy, poor browsing experience

Comment: I think this review pretty much nails it. The Z10 certainly has potential, browsing some websites feels great, super smooth, while others stutter and scrolling is jerky.

Feels unfinished, bad user experience, Nexus 4 a much better option for nearly half the price.

I own it

Good: New, Diferent, alternative to Android and iOS, (been there done that)

Bad: Apps, need more apps, but then again, who needs 1000 fart apps

Comment: I have had the phone since the 1st of Feb, and i love it, do not get me wrong it has issues,
1. Battery isn't the best, but you can have spares, (try that on iphone)
2. Apps, not many, but then again, it is a new platform, so i hope it will grow.
3. no...thats it......

Good: good looking

Bad: everything else

Comment: I said from the begining BB10 aint going to be much good, i wouldn't recommend this if you want a real smartphone, this Z10 lacks tech even some other lowerend smartphones have, it lags when opening apps and in some cases lags terribly and when you do open an app it doesn't open there, it sends the app to the task manager and then you open it from there WTF,the phone feels nice but is rather small compared to todays standard,if you want to watch tv or a movie on the tube forget it completely pointless,the camera isnt up to standard compared to the likes of the mighty S3,iphone 5 or even the nexus 4,colour is strong and rich but the responsiveness of the shutter is terrible, all in all for a new smartphone that BB stated would make the laptop obsolete isnt up to much, i wouldn't even call it a topend smartphone, sorry BB but you haven't pulled it off this time, could be the end of BB, i hope not but it dont look good.......

Not for me

Good: everything. i just love it

Bad: battery life seems to be just ok

Comment: It's a new fresh take on the smartphone UI. Honestly i've grown bored with iOS. Its the same since it was introduced years ago. they think if it aint broke dont fix it.... they change car designs every 4 years ago. There must be a reason for that dont you think?

I want it
