Before the release of Blackberry 10, and in fact even before I actually got to know BB10 , My feelings about blackberry was that with Blackberry, just like the fruit of the same name, you either like it or you don't, but now I truly can say my mindset about the company has changed. The new Software , design and specs on the new devices are far ahead of what they used to be and its hard to believe how far the company has come in less than a year!

Blackberry World
Formerly known as The blackberry App World, the App's name was changed since the store now not only offers Apps but music and videos. This addition puts blackberry up there with Apple's iTunes and App Store and Amazon's Store. Which I think will definitely take blackberry to new levels.

Do you like a big phone or a small phone ? What was your previous phone? - if it was a iPhone , a SIII or any other Touch -screen android or windows phone device i would recommend the Z10 but if you previously had a older blackberry or a phone with a keyboard i would recommend the Q10. If you like reading books and watching movies then go for the Z10. If you like texting and mainly use your phone for social networking , i would go for the Q10.

Android 4.0.4 with Touchwiz Nature UX 
with Direct call , if you are sending a friend a message but decide the message may better be described through a call , theres no need to exit the message go to your contacts and search for the desired contact. With Direct Call all you have to do is raise your phone to your ear and it automatically dials the desired person's number. Quick and simple! Easy and Efficient! However the feature may sometimes dial a person number when you actually don't want to , but that can be easily resolved by opting out using the gestures menu.
Apple's Siri (well actually Apple bought Siri) has stirred up this voice assistant craze sparking Google Now and off course Samsung's S'Voice. Personally i think these Voice assistant are stupid since it takes less time to find the information yourself, but whatever its a awesome feature anyways. I'm going to start with saying that i don't like S'Voice because S'Voice simply cant answer a fraction of the questions that Siri can or even Google Now! I don't think the layout is that bad.
a Design inspired by Nature : the phone feels amazing in the hand. its tapered edges and curved outline makes it so easy to grasp in the hands but holding a SIII and holding a iPhone are two totally different things. The plastic SIII doesn't feel premium like the metal and glass iPhone. Many people complain that the SIII is too big , but i truly don't think so, although it might seem so when you begin using the phone, it really isn't that big and (having used the phone for 6 months) I think its much better when reading emails , browsing the web and just doing anything. If you think I'm mad think of it like this - Apple , a company that has made millions of dollars from their 3.5 inch iPhones decided to create a 4inch version! They know that the 4inch screen is better! The back of the phone feels slippery and fragile. (But don't be too worried about that , since many of you will use it with a cover anyways.)
