For it's age, (relative to all devices currently available,) it is a good device with many features. Only drawback is that the screen is very fragile. Once cracked, the screen will not function, rendering the phone useless, unlike other similar devices. Overall, I still recommend it.

The Z10 smartphone gives you the great Blackberry hardware and OS and the ability to run native and Android apps (by manually sideloading or using the Snap or Amazon loader). The Wolfram based voice search (hold the mute button) works well and the WiFi is fast. The buttonless slide up/down/side interface is better than iOS or Android. Most but not all Android apps work on the BB OS. Anything that needs Google Play Services running will not work and other exceptions (usually regarding digital right management like playing live TV) may not work. For example Netflix for Android does work on BB10 but Google Earth does not. The ability to put an SD card into the V10 and use the card as a hard drive by a connected computer and have apps store all media to the card instead of to internal memory is nice. Also nice is the HDMI output. Another perk is the ability to use the BB V10 as a remote control for a BB Playbook. My tests show this to work very well.Read full review
In August of 2015 I decided that my trusty BlackBerry Torch 9810 with its outdated OS 7 and 3G data network was due for a well deserved retirement. Upon searching for a replacement, I researched online, comparing this to other BlackBerrys with OS 10 and other smartphones using the 4G network, by other manufacturers. I decided that this was indeed the model of phone I wanted to have for the next five plus years. I downloaded some free software from the BlackBerry site, plugged in my Torch using a USB to Micro USB cable, activated a program called "Device Switch" and waited. After the program was done with the Torch, I unplugged it, removed the SIM card, used a SIM card punch (purchased separately) to cut my SIM card down to the Micro SIM card size needed for my new Z10, installed the card, reinstalled the battery and plugged the Z10 into my computer to continue with the "Device Switch". When it was done, all of my information and compatible apps had transferred over to my new phone, contacts, calendar, notes, text messages, call logs, everything, was now on my new Z10. I did have a few problems with information stored in my new phone due to mistakes I made and by initially trying to use "Device Switch" on both phones via my wireless network. I highly recommend using the USB cord over the wireless option. You may have different results with the wireless, as others may have. I'm just relating my experience, but that was me getting off on a Tangent. This Z10 has a dual core, 1.5 GHz processor for fast processing, very good sound quality and volume, even with the speaker phone and pairs and links easily with the several Bluetooths I use regularly. All of the features this phone has that are similar to the Torch's are improved and better. I especially appreciate the enhanced calendar and reminder features. Blackberry World has more apps than I will ever use. The touchscreen is excellent and even works well with a protective cover. Battery life is adequate for a days use the way I use it. I familiarized myself with various settings and have optimized my phone for extended battery life, only turning certain features on as I need them, ensuring that I will have more than enough battery life. The micro USB port for charging and data transfer along with its WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity make this phone universally compatible with any electronic device I can think of as well has my home network. BlackBerry has downloadable software, free for the taking that works flawlessly with my phone and computers. I am sure I must be leaving a few things out, as I can't recall all the things I can do with this phone and I am learning new things it will do with each passing week. I am very happy with my upgrade!Read full review

A year of minimal use and one fine day it just wouldn't work, the red light kept on for several minutes and then nothing. Whether I do a reboot, turn it off, recharge it, remove the battery and put it back, nothing happens, the phone stays dead with just the red light on. I suspected it must be the battery so i bought a brand-new replacement but it turned out it is not the battery, i 'm still having nothing but a red light. With the warranty good only for 30 days from purchase date, this unit is now useless.

The Blackberry Z10 with OS 10.3.2 is a solid phone and keeps everything organized in one place, the Hub. All your email, text messages, calls and social media are all in the Hub and well organized. The Z10 has a strong radio which pulls in good signals to keep you connected. Call quality of the Z10 is excellent. Voices on both ends are loud and clear.
