It's brilliant.
You can make telephone calls on it when you're away from the house, and it's got little push buttons instead of the usual big round dialling disc with holes in to poke your fingers through.

Cooooooooooool . I've heard about those. Apparently they have no cables you have to plug in to the wall so thats what makes them so mobile. Never catch on though. People don't want telephones that are mobile, they want a life a support system that you can make calls on in an emergency .

^ Funily enough the latest Samsung S4 calls itself a "life companion"...

Can the Blackberry do this:



I end my case...

After spending a few months with BlackBerry’s new BlackBerry Z10, I can safely say the company’s last hope when it comes to the ultra-competitive smartphone industry actually does a few things very well.
It might sound like blasphemy, but in some cases, it even accomplishes certain tasks better than both iOS and even my personal mobile platform of choice, Android.

1. It’s actually faster

The Blackberry Z10 is displayed at the BlackBerry 10 launch event at Pier 36 in Manhattan on January 30, 2013 in New York City.

The BlackBerry 10 browser is slightly faster than any browser I’ve used on either iOS or Android-based devices. Even apps and email messages tend to open up quicker than what I’ve experienced on competing platforms.
After a few hours of use, its lack of a traditional home button also starts to make sense.
The Z10 forces the user to swipe left and right as well as up and down to navigate through its menus. At first, this seems strange and it, admittedly, takes some getting used to. After a few hours, it actually becomes very intuitive and makes more sense than having a traditional home screen.
2. Fewer apps means they’re easier to find

A smaller app store might not necessarily be a bad thing, it just depends on how you look at it.

The BlackBerry 10 store might only have 100,000 apps available right now but, in some ways, this is actually a blessing in disguise.
Finding useful apps in the Android or iOS marketplace is significantly more difficult, especially if you want to look beyond the top 10 paid and unpaid apps list.
Since the app pickings are slimmer on the Z10, it gives new developers the opportunity to rise to the top more easily. Also, most of the main apps the average smartphone user takes advantage of are already available anyway. Popular apps like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram are ready and waiting for you to download, and that’s all most users will be looking for anyway.
3. Predictive typing is awesome

The predictive typing feature on the BlackBerry Z10 works very well.

I’ve never really completely gotten the hang of typing on a touch screen and, occasionally, I find myself missing the tactile buttons from my first smartphone, an old BlackBerry 8300. The Z10′s predictive typing technique is by far the the best touchscreen-based virtual keyboard I’ve ever used.
While typing, the Z10 predicts the word you might want to create. If it ends up being the one you actually want, you simply swipe and it appears instantly. This saves time and works well when typing at blisteringly fast speeds. Like other aspects of the BlackBerry 10 operating system, predictive typing takes a little getting used to, but once you get the hang of it, it’s very intuitive.
The new BlackBerry Z10 smartphone is available through various carriers. You can get a BlackBerry Z10 with TELUS for $149 on a 3-year term with a minimum $50 monthly bill.


So Betty, another test for you.

Some of mine got chopped too. However the dildo phones are still there sitting pretty

One of the questions I wanted to ask Betty was to see his actual underwater pics or maybe videos from his Xperia Z ?

The ZR is a better shooter underwater apparently.

Check out the below link for vid:

Sony Xperia ZR vs Xperia Z - Conclusion
Ultimately there is remarkably little to choose between the two handsets. The specs, cameras, connectivity options and physical design are all pretty similar. The improved waterproofing on the Sony Xperia ZR is quite exciting but we question how many people will actually take it for a dip anyway. That really just leaves the display, which is unarguably better on the Sony Xperia Z, making it the better handset overall.

However it’s also more expensive, coming in at around £450 (while the Xperia ZR is likely to retail for around £350). So if you want the best, go for the Xperia Z, but if you can live with an inferior screen then the Sony Xperia ZR is an excellent value option, and if you want to try some underwater photography on your phone it’s the only option.

Socal, why did you omit the link and title from your post ?

Oh I see what you did now now

Bullshit is it faster, although the Z10 is no slouch

BlackBerry 10 operating system is nippy and shows no signs of lag in use on the Z10. Indeed its Geekbench 2 score of 1725 puts it in the upper echelons of current smartphones, even if it does mean the Xperia Z is marginally faster of the two.

You cock Socal

not the bloody smart phone BB - all smart phones are shite. Because? I don;'t give a fuck about pictures, games, music, videos, and the million other waste of time bullshit you get with a smart phone. i want a decent keyboard and a brilliant mail client. BB has both of those and smart phones do not. they suck the fat one when it comes to editing excels for example where as with a BB it is easy.

What BB need to do is to stop this Bolt On BB package that is needed. that is shit and what drives customers away.

2. Fewer apps means they’re easier to find

That has to be one of the best spins ever! I wonder how much this knob jockey got for writing this piece.

It should read: "2. It's got fuck all apps worth downloading so you might as well buy a Nokia, at least the maps are top notch".

as if you need 50,000 apps. Nobody does.

Sure google has open source but that can lead to security issues. And with a lot of those apps, they are as useless as tits on a bull. you get what you pay for

the writing is on the wall for RIM - they were mainly a business tool because they had the push email system early enough but now any device can be made to work with microsoft exchange server or one of the open source solutions

they managed to foist BBM onto the luddites , but many of them are now migrating to wider interacting protocols

RIM like apple is destined to sink

I was talking about how open source is bad for security and useless apps. Not to mention all the fucking ads spyware associated with Google. They are one security breach away from everyone with brains switching back to blackberry.

But I understand that you like Google os because it can be put on your dildo phones and anal probe phones

Even RIM realise it and are developing software for IOS & Android which will allow admins on BES to remotely manage and if necessary wipe their business data (only) from their users phones.

RIM is dead as a hardware manufacturer and will sink into complete obscurity if IOS/Android incorporate that same functionality into their O/S natively.

Don't ever count a tech company out. Even if BlackBerry gets bought out, the name has value and it will be around for a long time. And as I just said, Google is a spyware, adware, mal ware orgy. One security breach will take the wind out of Google.

It's childish theme also won't stand the test of time. Even the fucking name is awfully childish

The BlackBerry has higher pixel density then the Sony so fuck ya sideways

Just being dense is not necessarily a positive

but RIM on if that is what makes you happy

Sorry to put to rest your perverted joke but Rim is just an abbreviation.

The company is called Research In Motion.

Did the salesman tell you that after you went downtown ?

Most Canadians know about this fine company. The only phone designed and built by a white man. Sure, Google and apple are seppo but silicon valley is just a bunch of chinks anyway.

^ And dont forget Nokia from that well known haven for non-aryans, Finland.

I had a headhunter call me up once about working for them. Well I think it was them, all she asked was if I was interested in a rim job.

But you went on to design the dildo phone instead eh?

BlackBerry Z10 I'd built in North America fool. Nokia built in Europe? neither is apple or Google
