Now BlackBerry has launched two more smartphones running the new operating system.
Both mobile phones and operating systems are called "10 ".
"The line to restart is a game --
Some people think BlackBerry is the last one.

The Z10 released in the US is an attempt to join them: it's a full screen, multiple

Eyes are trying to beat them: a core feature that is Unapologetic is the physical keyboard, which defines the BlackBerry touch to make the device a deliberate outsider in the smartphone world.
Some mobile phones entering the market are more like small tablets than mobile phones.
There are apps like the iPhone.
But a lot of streaming content is accessible to everyone.
Cloud storage, e-books, games
The Mail and browser of the "undesigned" web pages make them easier to read.
One has a keyboard.
This feature is not a cater to BlackBerry's loyal users, nor is it half
Want to go back to the foundation of the company.
The BlackBerry once again makes the hardware keyboard critical.
The Q10 is different at the same time, familiar, exciting and comfortable.
The key is the keyboard.
The keyboard of the Q10 occupies 33 percent of the positive real estate.
It measures 3 centimeters vertically, located at 6-centimeter-high multi-touch screen.
Keyboard is the main way you access content.
Typing a letter or two from any menu page calls the app, contact, or calendar event immediately.
You don't need to organize a damn thing.
Of course, you can arrange the app icon and collect it into the folder.
You can create contacts favorites.
But during the week I used the Q10, I didn't access the app or contacts by looking for where I left it.
I typed two letters on the keyboard, right there.
This can only be implemented on a mobile phone with a physical keyboard, which is always turned on by definition.
On my iPhone 4S, I can also find the app in the device search, but this needs to go to the search page first.
IPhone search is not that smart: type "te "(or “me”)
There are messaging apps in the Q10 and click-through rates.
Type "te" on iPhone and can't find "message ".
On the Q10, "I" not only gave me "text messages", but also gave me the BlackBerry proprietary information system "BBM ".
I mean send a message.
Keyboard typing is great.
With a prediction.
This feature is turned off by default for some reason-
You have the bestof-both-World Scene.
This is a good combination. thought-
Ideas in other ways.
The content feature aggregates "events", "social gestures", and even news reports about companies where contacts work, as well as "updates" and the communication you have already had. This “all-in-one-
The "Place" method is like a mini profile of anyone you enter in your address book.
When connected to your computer, the Q10 is recognized as an external drive and its content can be accessed on the desktop via the latest version of the BlackBerry link-
There is no sync intermediary like iTunes.
The IPhone has only recently added a To Do app --Reminders.
But the BlackBerry does leave it in the dust with Evernote.
Like the ability to add voice notes and attachments to a task.
Navigation, transition and animation are all on site.
This seems to be as responsive as the OS I see, perhaps because of the BlackBerry (like Apple)
Both hardware and software.
There are still ways to approach the perfect.
The availability of the application is not ideal.
Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare, LinkedIn and Skype are installed on the AT&T brand.
No Google Maps app but BlackBerry version is good for me in four hours
Travel by coach to unfamiliar destinations.
But Pandora, Spotify, Netflix are absent.
No Google Drive app
And an uncertain prospect.
You can't work directly on collaborative documents.
BlackBerry competes with three powerful companies that allow it to work with widely used Google and Microsoft in the cloud (SkyDrive)apps.
Still, some of the productivity tools available are impressive: Documents To Go, Dropbox, and Box.
No horizontal direction (
Can not use side keyboard)
So video and games are like screens.
It's a gamble for BlackBerry, but it's not a big gamble in my opinion.
In any case, I think smartphones are the last resort to such activities-small tablets are better for such utilities.
Finally, I'm still not the biggest fan of how the 10 series handles notifications, which I mentioned when commenting on z10.
The Hub concept is good but there is no long Peek featurea-
Boo alerts about messages received, just that you have new messages and what accounts they are in. E-
By default, messages in the hub cannot be filtered to display only unread items, so it is sometimes difficult to find unread items.
You can temporarily filter out the read items, but you need four keystrokes at a time.
You can't even tag all the items you read without opening them, which you might want to do separately based on the subject line. (
Maybe we can convince Pebble people to reconsider their decision to ignore the new BlackBerry so that we can outsource lengthy reminders to their wrist that belongs to us?
After all, Pebble's CEO gritted his teeth on the BlackBerry version with the InPulse watch in 2008.
Or, hey, BlackBerry.
How about your own smartwatch? )
There are several software upgrades in Q10 (
Z10 handheld devices will also be launched soon).
Most of them will make BlackBerry fans happy.
It makes no sense to others.
Including pin-to-
Pin message, a proprietary SMS method that does not use your data plan or the Internet, can only be done between BlackBerry phones.
This is one of the quirky differences BlackBerry gave up but loyal fans missed.
The "T" and "B" shortcuts come back and push you to the top and bottom of the page.
I have nothing but the iphone since 2007, but the Q10 is the first phone that makes me question this loyalty.
It feels like I'm wearing my big kids pants for about a week.
Q 10 is my next call at this time.
