    Was at an event today and someone leaned over and asked if that was an iPhone in a blackberry case. Chuckled and showed him the z10, talked it up a bit with a demo. Was impressed.

    Yeah sadly I mean if the BlackBerry logo at the back is just below the camera then people would immediately notice its not an iphone but who cares since its way better lol

    No. I only know people with some aesthetic understanding. They instantly realize: The Z10 is far better designed than the iPhone 5.

    Yep, a couple of friends said they thought it was an iPhone at first but were drawn to its differences. Think about it, nobody asks "Is that an iPhone?" unless they know something is different. Needless to say people are impressed by the build quality and understated design.

    If you ask me, from a distance the phone is noticeable larger than an iPhone. I don't know how you can confuse the two.

    The day I purchased my phone (US AT&T Release day) I went to a Dart Shootout and had some guy ask me why I was using an old BlackBerry. *sigh*.

    Nope. I guess my people are more aggressive. They insist that it looks like an I Phone

    I went to a gathering with a bunch of old friends.

    "Finally! You came to your senses and got an iPhone! Wait, that's a blackberry. You don't even have instagram on there."

    *snaps picture of their slack jaw and posts it to instagram*

    That started my demo of my Z10.

    The fact that people ask would mean that at first sight they didn't really believe it was an I phone copy, they saw it looked similar but different enough for them to probe some questions about it.

    Nope, at least not yet. I was in the bank two days ago and had my BB on the counter. The bank clerk asked me how I was liking my "Z10". She recognized it right away, but confessed she was an iPhone user. I think she was a little envious.

    I just wish BlackBerry had put the logo on the battery cover a little higher up. I tend to cover it with my hand and I would like people to see the berry symbol.

    I get that question quite often, but to me it just sounds like these persons don't know much about smartphones. You could say that almost all touchscreen devices look like smartphones for what it's worth, but if you actually took time to choose your phone instead of just being instantaneously convinced that the iPhone/SG3 is better, you would not ask that question, even if you do not like BlackBerry.

    Beside, Z10 is considerably larger... and cooler!

    Yes. At least 3 times someone has said "Finally got an iPhone I See".

    That said... 6 or 7 have asked me "is that the new Blackberry". Always proudly say yes it is!

    It's gotten to the point where I have a pre-planned speech and demo strategy ready when these conversations arise.

    I've converted several so far!

    I haven't had anyone ask if it was an Iphone but someone at work asked me what kind of BlackBerry it was. They thought that it was to cool looking to be a blackberry until I showed them. It was a great experience as the person I was talking to just got an Iphone 5 last week and now I considering the Z10
