BlackBerry Q10 Review

Lisa Gade reviews the BlackBerry Q10 BlackBerry smartphone with a hardware QWERTY keyboard and OS 10.1. The Q10 will be available on all major US carriers as well as carriers around the world. It has an AMOLED 720 x 720 3.1" display and the same internals as the BlackBerry Z10: 1.5GHz dual core Snapdragon CPU with 2 gigs of RAM, 16 gigs of storage, GPS, WiFi, NFC and Bluetooth. It has a rear 8MP camera and a front 2MP camera, a removable 2100 mAh battery, LTE 4G and an SD card slot.

Most are review units that we have to send back to the manufacturer or carrier. How many phones have we reviewed? Hundreds :)

One of the best smartphones reviews so far, she's very explanatory, straightforward and honest, thanks

Wonderful review! Very well put and I don't know what it is but your voice makes your videos wonderful to watch.

For me a cellphone is for phone calls and texting. Being a man, I don't have access to a purse and depend on my pocket for carrying my cellphone, especially during the warm weather months, which is most of the time here in Louisiana. The Q10 fits the bill for me. It's a reliable tool. I prefer the physical keypad. YMMV.

sick of switching back and forth between samsung and iphone. im buying this phone!. i miss the sturdyness and reliability of a BB, especially now with the touchscreen adding a nice flavor to the phone. Removed buttons make the phone look slick and modern. battery lasts for minimum 1 day, dont have to worry about the screen cracking from a minor drop, signals always great, never restarts on its own like my iphone 5s does...

Great review! This really help me figure out what I was getting Dad for Christmas. I thought the 9900 would be a better option, but I think I can teach him around some of the Q10's tips and tricks. Thanks!

The "Developer Mode Enabled" t-shirts came from the BlackBerry Live trade show last month. The Droid with a guitar was a Motorola tradeshow giveaway a year or two ago.

After so many years of owning an iPhone - with which I am completely happy - I decided to take a deep breath and go for this one. It hasnt arrived yet in my country but once it lands it's gonne be mine :)

I bought a used one 2 days ago and I'm loving the Q10 so far with the 10.2 release. If you prefer a real keyboard this is the best one yet.

soo happy that there is a smart phone out there with a real keyboard

I really admire BB for taking the massive risk of launching a qwerty smartphone. Not everyone has the phablet needs or requirements. I gotta say I love my lumia - but - I do miss a physical keyboard..Great review Lisa, thanks

Hi Lisa. I was wondering if the Blackberry Q10 has the Navigation Google app. That's what I use on my Galaxy Note II. Other map apps aren't accurate for me in my opinion. I am willing to buy the Q10 but I don't know if there are any reliable navigation/map apps that are accurate. I am still choosing over between the Blackberry Q10 & the Google Edition S4. Thanks Lisa. Love your vids by the way.

Thanks for the lengthy review. I'm considering the Q10.

[miljan]

Such a cute little phone.I have him and Samsung S5. But, Q10 is a real deal....

[EvinCameronSchultz]

do you keep all of the electronics you receive and would you make a video of a phone collection or can you tell me how many phones you've reviewed :) because you always help me SO much :) thanks

[MrAndrew]

Really looking forward to the release of the Q10 in Australia.

I was Blackberry guy back in the day but just can't see myself going back to the hardware keyboard - not after the amount of time it took for me to master the onscreen keyboard.
