After having had a BlackBerry often in the past, held it was time for a new 'Crackberry'. That latter I hear a lot in my area, when one sees the phone in my hands. Do you have a Crackberry ? In addition, it is thought, often up to date, but let's face it. Know we gonna do I have a BlackBerry Bold 9780 taken at my subscription in early 2010 because it was very hip at the time Pinging. All my colleagues had a BB and I was the only one who could not ping. Do so! That unit did well, especially the physical keyboard. Ultimately, it was the limited supply in the BlackBerry World what did switch to an Android phone me. I in 2012 made a short trip to a BB Torch, but that extension was for me personally a great drama. So I have a history with BlackBerry. Why the move to Q10? I had a very solid device in the form of the LG G2, before the Nexus 5, iPhone 5, HTC One, so why the hell the Q10? I think it's beautiful. He hangs all times in my T-Mobile store and design appealed to me from the start. And yes, the physical keyboard I love that. following topics I want to address briefly. I hope you thereby get a good overall impression of the phone. Reader 1. Appearance and design; 2. Physical keyboard; 3. Screen; 4. Software; 5. Blackberry Hub, 6. Apps; 7. Speed; 8. Camera; 9. Battery life; 10. Conclusion. Appearance and Design As mentioned, the appearance of the device which is what pushed me in the first instance towards the Q10. For example, I doubted for a moment to take. The Z10 You could say that the physical keyboard persuaded me. I will get back to that. I have the black model, and when the screen is off, it is one large black area at the front. Very beautiful. The bezels are fairly wide - too bad, but not annoying - and approximately 2/3rds of the top starts nice keyboard. The back seems to have a profile, but this is just smooth. Nevertheless, the back feels nice and stiff on which potential off-the-hand-gliding parties may occur. At the top is the on and off button, but the screen is unlocked. With a gesture The button I easily accessible. On the right side are the volume keys and a play / pause button. The latter I personally find unnecessary, since I do not use him. Then a little bit about the build quality. I hear sometimes some cracking and the battery cover is not very firm with me more solid. Fortunately, doing a back case of eBay miracles! Physical keyboard Wow, what type that good. Therefore I had a blackberry and now again. One major difference is that the keys are in a straight line next to each other, where there is a bend in it on previous BBs. I type it very fast with it, but that will be very personal. The choice of some buttons you question it, as one key only $ sign, but that will be me being a proverbial sausage. If you keep the button pressed longer, you can simply select a dollar sign. If you're home at night in the dark (or anywhere) is on the bench, it does wonders backlight of the keyboard. Looks very nice! The only thing I ever want to bother me is that the keyboard occasionally seems to "crack" when entering the keys. What this is, I do not know, and I hear it very occasionally. Screen The screen is small. At least, smaller than many smartphone user is accustomed. But I still like the screen with its 3.1 "very workable. 720px720p The resolution, which makes it very sharp. Because the screen uses AMOLED technology, true blacks. And that's really nice. That I personally prefer top really white. Are we equal to that point, white is in fact a little yellowish. But then you have to look carefully. brightness in reviews sometimes slated, but I have no problem with that. What I Say I have the brightness even always be at its lowest no problems with it, the screen remains perfectly readable, even in the sun The only downside of the screen that I can think of is the square format combined with watching a movie... Most movies now playing in wide screen off, and then there is little of the screen on. then you should really sit down with your nose to the screen. Software OS10 I think really works very fine. BlackBerry uses gestures and keyboard shortcuts in the physical keyboard. Shortcuts that I have not yet discovered all of themselves, but those gestures work really fine. You drag across the screen and then there is an action associated with it. From hibernation drag you from the bottom upwards to unlock the phone. From the main drag from left to right and you're in the BlackBerry Hub. In an app drag you from the bottom to the top left to go back, or straight up to move forward again. Useful for example Android apps that you deleted. Navigation bar More on this later. The phone always runs smoothly, with me not jammed or something Blackberry Hub So if you drag to the right, you come to the BlackBerry Hub off. What an invention! Here I am very positive about all notifications in one place. If I have a whatsappje, I do not have to go to the app, but I go to my hub. I must really say that I almost never use the app itself. I only app via the Hub. I mail through the hub. I ping via the Hub (yes, there is still pinging). Etc.. Very good system. Apps The BlackBerry World does not have many native apps (made for BB) has to offer. Well there are a number of ports X (Android apps on the BlackBerry app store) to find. These days you can easily download from Snap. Snap is a replacement for the Google Play Store, with the exact same offer. You can also log in with your Gmail account and you can download anything. I could even download my purchases made in the past again. Snap gives you indoors and out. Pub file on your BB. This is done in conjunction with a computer / laptop. Put your SNAP on your BlackBerry! The only app that until now was not tasty worked at Rabobank app. This also I do that through the browser speed Although I stepped back from quad-core phones (what does that nowadays) to a dual core phone, I notice there in speed is not so much. The phone responds quickly and has no lag in the animations. The only thing I notice is that some Android apps just a second or two longer it take to boot. But you will not hear me complaining about it. Camera The camera shoots nice small photos, but not special. When taking a picture, you can choose between three different formats: 1:1, 4:3 and 16:9. 1:1 When you use the entire screen, but seeing people with such an iPhone a square photo. Use 16:9, you should back your nose on your screen down to see where you get from taking a photo, but it looks good on other phones again. I almost always use my whole screen. Battery Life Here I made myself in the beginning most concerned about. I come from the LG G2 and the battery duration was sublime. Q10 I have now about three weeks of use and I can tell you, the Q10 can match this. The battery has a capacity of 2100mAh, but the phone has, of course, but a small screen and a relatively light processor. I'm a fairly heavy user of social respect and mail whatsapp, but do not have Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, etc running in the background. Also, I do not play games. Well I visit throughout the day by many news sites and I stream a lot of music from Deezer. A day from 8 am to 11 pm I keep an average of 30%. Right! Conclusion I am all in all very pleased with these Q10. The physical keyboard is what attracted me to the phone, and that appears to work. Really delicious Especially in combination with the successful BlackBerry Hub. The small screen has its advantages, but also disadvantages. So as soon watch a movie does not really fit. The fact that BlackBerry now allows you without much hassle can download Android apps makes it an ideal phone for me. I was initially worried that the Android apps my battery life went influence, but this was not the case. I am very pleased with the battery life.
