NucksPatsFan Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Haven't been able to put my Z10 down. Also, coming from a 9900, I expected to have trouble typing for a while, but between the predictions, auto correct, and my own insanely talented thumbs, I haven't made a mistake yet, and were coming up on 24 hours of me having had it. Been curious to talk to someone with one! A few questions. 1) Did they change the SMS and social media notifications to "pop up" like they do on the iPhone and Androids? 2) Can you watch HD videos on it? (if you put HD movies of your own onto the phone via laptop) 3) How is the mp3 player on it? Can it replace an iPod for someone who only listens to maybe 100 songs? 4) battery life?

I've been using 4G and syncing stuff all day, and it lasted around 10 hours. I think for the average person it will be completely fine, but I bought a spare battery for like $30, as I didn't see how it can hurt. Overall, I'm having a hard time putting it down, and it's impacting my school and work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyledude Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Looks good. I'm going to wait to see what the Galaxy S4 looks like and then decide. I'm eager to replace my iPhone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pouria Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Looks good. I'm going to wait to see what the Galaxy S4 looks like and then decide. I'm eager to replace my iPhone. Nexus 5 might come out pretty soon too. It is rumored to have a FHD screen (Full HD screen). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All my friends ask me what's so special about it, I tell them and they don't care what soever. Then they use it for 10 minutes and are in love.

Russ Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Just saw the review on Engaget and it looks nice. Not nice enough for me to hop off my 4s and pay an early upgrade fee but would be a phone I would consider if I was in the market for one right now. I like alot of the new features they have, too bad it took them forever to release this phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue90 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 My contract is up in 4 months and I currently have the bold 9700. Can someone give me a heads up on what other phones will be coming out in the next few months? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverpig Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Totally loving the Z10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NucksPatsFan Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Got it today! Such a great phone. Not impressed that the TSN app isn't available on it, loved it on the 9900. Also MyFitnessPal isn't available on the z10. Nor is the TD bank app...hmmmmm...not liking this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, after some reading online, I take it that 10.1 will be able have the 4.1 Android run time, which as far as I know, means pretty much every Android app will work once it is converted (takes a couple of minutes, anyone can do it), now granted, it might not work as well as native apps, but I sideloaded Kindle on my phone, and it runs as well as any native app, so who knows.

Hope part of those 30k are the ones I mentioned. I rely on the TD app the most out of them, not sure why all the major bank apps weren't put in prior to launching, considering most businesses do use blackberries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grapefruits Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Does the new blackberry have a panoramic option with the Camera? Also, how does the new camera compare to say Iphone 5 or the nexus? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
