Amazing article wrote have you i liked it..this is not easy to write such a great article like you thumb up for u..
This is one phone I have been waiting for since a long time. Blackberry has made it place in the heart of the people with its good looking handsets and the features it provides. After reading your post, I am more keen on buying this amazing Blackberry Z10 smartphone.
The smartphone is really tempting, RIM is back to market. Thanks for reading
The features are really great but it is bit expensive, I still wish Blackberry would have aimed for a lightly skinned Android OS, but with their best features like BBM and Email. Seriously.
Compared to the smartphones at market, the BB Z10 doesn’t seem as expensive, anyway, its according to your budget. Thanks for commenting.
Much better than iPhone.
I have fallen for Blackberry 10 and it really looks so amazing. A smartphone cannot be smarter than this. The features are wonderful. However, I feel it is a little over priced in comparison to other efficient phones and tablets. They should compromise on the price a little.
The unlock version is around $600, maybe the onces on carrier’s mart will be cheaper with contract conditions. Thanks for your comment.
