All original OS all original experience, sure updates! Present apps are enough for my lifestyle and lots of apps coming soon, makes the experience more exciting! im no app hungry, im a BB fan!

By the way I use the ff OS:
iOS for my Globe
Android for my Sun (switching to my BBZ10 soon)
Symbian for my Smart (switching to Android soon!)

Sarap! :-)

All original? You haven’t used a Nokia N9. It strongly inspired the swipe features of the BB10!

All original? More like an Android/N9 clone.
Sure updates? The previous gen BBs are stuck with BB5/6/7.
Also, it’s way overpriced. I like the Q10 though.

The price of the Z10 is positioned to compete with the like of Iphone5. If you consider the additional features, present from the Z10 but missing from the Iphone5, I would say that the price is competitive. Feature like Integrated emails in the blackberry hub, BBM with video sharing, the best virtual keyboard, true multi tasking, time shift camera, removable battery, HDMI output, NFC, and the most secured OS. Sure,the Z10 is expensive but so are the other flagship phone like Apple 5 or other Android phones. FYI.. Blackberry’s OS, is a “QNX” O/S based. QNX is deployed across these business sectors; military (USA), aerospace (NASA); medical, Automotive, Telecommunications, etc. You don’t believe this, just research “QNX”. Now, ask if Androids OS or iOS are used in those sectors.

That’s a flagship phone ! Like they say, you get what your paid for. I think you may like Alcatel Touch One 232…

I own one na (factory unlocked; 4G LTE edition), looks like an iPhone from afar but once you use it, it is nothing like the legacy BBOS nor even iOS surprisingly.

Android apps run good too. Trust me, gamitin mo yung phone and you’ll be surprised how big the leap is from BB OS7 to BB10.
