Z10

[Anonymous]

Upgraded to the Z10 around 5 months ago and so far I am impressed, especially since the latest software improvements. To be honest I thought I would miss the physical keyboard of the Bold series but I find the Z10 so much better - certainly no regrets here.

Hi and Welcome to the Community Forum.

I was drawn to that phone and tried get a review model from O2 to have a play.

What features so you find most useful ?

I like the BlackBerry Hub and the way if shows all my 'in boxes' and the direct access (tap to show) on the front screen is very good. Downsides - battery life could be better and I do miss having a viewable time without have to scroll stuff out of the way (minor point I know).

Can you not add a widget clock to the screen or shuffle things around ?

What usage time are you getting and are you a heavy / medium / light user.

People's usage differs so that affects battery life but I'm interested to know what your squeezing out of it.

Great to heat your thought cyb!

Out of interest, how long does your battery last with heavy use? My iPhone barely lasts a day haha

Well Toby that makes me feel better, usually I'm charging the z10 every other day. Which is more often than I used to my old 9780, but to be fair this phone does so much more! Most of my friends have the iPhone and most comment about the better screen size on my z10 - although I can't persuade them to change 🙂

You're certainly getter better battery life than I ever have with my Z10. I have to charge every night or I have a dead phone the next morning, but then I didn't get much more from my previous main phone iPhone 4S when used as main phone.

I'd love to try the Z30 which is supposed to have improved battery life as well as a larger screen and OTG capability but O2 don't stock it

As far as the clock goes if you are in an app then a short swipe from the bottom of the screen will reveal the top bar with the battery time and network symbols and release your finger to hide again, or you can have the clock as a live tile if you prefer.
