    BlackBerry has finally delivered its long-awaited BlackBerry 10 platform. The Z10 is a touchscreen device with an impressive 4.2in display boasting a resolution of 1280x768 pixels, making it a match for most other high-end handsets.


    BlackBerry Z10 reviews:
    Pros:
    Hardware is superb, with excellent design and materials.
    Gesture-based OS is a joy to use, once you get used to it.
    The BlackBerry Hub deals with messages very effectively, making sure the Z10 is still a true BlackBerry.
    Fantastic keyboard, especially for one-handed use.
    Still has most of the productivity and communications excellence of old BlackBerry’s, without the pain of an aging OS.


    Cons:
    Battery life is somewhat troubling at times – a spare battery may be a wise investment for heavy users.
    Still some bugs to be ironed out in the OS.
    Some apps could use more features to them. Certain features from BlackBerry 7 haven’t yet made their way over to BlackBerry 10.
    App selection is limited compared to the competition.
    Apps ported from Android are, for the most part, pretty awful.
