The 18 coolest features in BB10 that you probably didn't know about
-
- a hater haha.. most iphone works only 4-6hrs if data was on.. my bbQ5 says it sucks - you need to charge your iphone more frequently than my BlackBerry Q5 in fact, fb,twitter,emails, other social networking sites are always on..iphone=grrrrrrrrrrr!

I have no intentions of downplaying the iphone's capabilities, but the sub par emailing prowess and the loops one has to jump through to sync data via itunes are just some examples where there is no comparison with the "10".
Regards,
Recent convert from the iphone 4, 4s and the 5.
I bought a Q10 to "save BLACKBERRY". Compromises I was told I'd be making: Is it the amazing UI or the rock-solid hardware? Maybe it's the world class keyboard.

Just one question - please provide file source. From you get this file? For what? There is a lot file managers for iOS, if you need to use it as flash drive. Otherwise - all of my files stored in DropBox. All of them synchronized.
I do not see any reason for open file system on mobile. This is old legacy from old devices. I like document ideology, not files
Currently if I need to share document, I can do this without open file system.09-29-13 06:04 AMLike 0 - Just a few words about file manager and iOS.

Please provide the name of one app (for usb mass storage) that doesn't involve a jailbroken iphone or anything to do with the itunes software.
Regarding dependency on dropbox (or any other cloud service for that matter), I would rather prefer a device that lets me access my files without the requirement of taking any additional steps. Also, I'm sure a lot of us here have been in a situation where we're away from our computers and wished that if only the required file had been uploaded to the cloud.

Why I choose Dropbox? I don't want to loss all of my important documents if my hard drive crash. I have all of my actual documents in all of my devices (tablet, notebook, smartphone).
If I need access to my media (video/audio) I use iTunes Match, AirVideo - internet access only required.
I'm traveler, but this solutions give me more freedom instead of open file system. I have access to all corporate documents via sharepoint and Confluence. I'm not afraid to lost my phone with important documents - all of them stored in cloud.
This is why i do not see any reason in open file system09-29-13 06:34 AMLike 0 - Just a few words about file manager and iOS.

File Manager Pro is not a substitute for a simple usb mass storage solution. It still requires itunes to view the files. What I'm talking about is the ability to connect and access the file system on the phone via usb. I'm not a big fan of jumping through hoops just to get some music or videos on my device.
Also, the wireless streaming capability (even HD videos) through a native file manager is something I never saw on the iphone but I can see why that wouldn't interest you. But its a useful feature for lots of blackberry users.
Regarding dropbox vs data access from a hard drive, I guess it boils down to personal preference and needs. I work for a government agency in the US. The last thing I want to do is upload work documents to the cloud.

I have nothing against iPhone but I don't get how this became a list of features that the iPhone can do. At least, the title was clear for me. Or perhaps, someone wants to show the cool features of an iPhone on a BlackBerry thread? Some people just confuse me sometimes.

This does not matter of open file system ON MOBILE DEVICE09-29-13 07:19 AMLike 0 -
BTW, if you need access to device file storage, you need to install BB Link software, like a iTunes. There no difference.
Anyway - there a lot of secure clouds. One of then - SpiderOak.
And more - I see no difference in USB vs WiFI access ( using any browser )09-29-13 07:25 AMLike 0 - Actually, this is a thread for what BB10 can do.

To steer off the conversation towards more relevant topics: I love how my device can handle almost every android app with the ease and fluidity experienced on an android device itself.

Your post does nothing for us BlackBerry users because we have our own set of features.
We are helping each other out here and you definitely are being rude.

1. Time Shift Camera
Not exclusive. Modern devices have 60-120 fps burst shot.
- Burst mode is not the same, go Bing it.
2. BBM Video
BB to BB only. I do not have friends with BB10. Useless.
- Get some: http://www.valuewalk.com/2013/08/bla...ke-more-money/ (all in good fun ;-) )
3. Vid Share
Same as BBM video
- If they mean "screen share", then no, it's not the same and it is awesome
4. Ability to download files from internet sites and open them directly from my device.
As on other platform - nothing special.
5. Password strength with password keeper
KeePass, 1Password... All of them more powerful and secure
iOS have shared keychain - great feature. BB10 does not have keychain.
6. Reader mode in browser
As on other platforms
- As far as I can see, the stock Android browser doesn't offer this.
7. Virtual keyboard.
As on other platforms
- No, but should be changed to "Best virtual keyboard"
8. BB Hub integration.
Personally I don't like it.
- "Personally"? Not a meaningful argument.
9. QNX platform has the ability to run 32 cores.
Who's care? 8 apps limit, ugly headless app realization that non released in 10.2
10. Android runtime allows for side loading.
Required advanced user skills, 3rd party tools installed, piracy, security breach
- No, yes, no and no
11. HDMI mini port
Required wire. I prefer wireless
- Like DLNA? BlackBerry has that, Apple doesn't offer either.
12. NFC
As on other platforms. Personally I found it useless
- "Personally"? Sorry, not a meaningful argument. As you're aware, this is not found on Apple.
13. Removable battery
Who's care? Z30 and Q5 don't have it. Anyway there a lot of external batteries.
14. SD card slot
Who's care in 2013? Today cloud time is. Had it in my 9900 - never used it.
- I care. I take pictures in the mountains where there are only non-virtual clouds. Kinda need somewhere to store all those bits.
15. Story Maker
Did you see other solutions or just read marketing papers?
16. Automobile integration that just works...automatically
Woooow! Had it 5-7 years a go with other platforms.
17. TRUE MULTITASKING
Who's care on TRUE multitasking? 8 apps only. On iOS have "save state" multitasking. For most of all use cases is enough.
- No, it's about as pathetic as it gets.
Android have multitasking too (background)... and background apps.
- I don't think that this list was started as an exclusivity list, so you're simply off base.

09-29-13 07:48 AMLike 8 - kbz1960Doesn't MatterSo OP, how many bbry, android and WP users have come on there to say that most of the things listed about apple can be done on other devices?world saviour and Rowan M like this.09-29-13 07:54 AMLike 2
- I see what you are doing here! It seems like you have a lot of time on your hand! But as i said before its all about choice. Apple puts you in a environment that limits that, so you`ll have to depend on APPS to do these simple task that you should be able to do on your phone out of the box. I for one don`t want to put every thing in cloud! And YES it is secure to store files on a SD card because we have Media Card Encryption and Device Encryption!world saviour and Amey88 like this.09-29-13 08:09 AMLike 2

- NOPE!!!! You enable encryption from your BB10 device and you can access the data on your encrypted SD card from your device also via Password, no BB Link involve here no app! Even the legacy devices could do it! You are guessing right now! Get your self a BB 10 device and get back to us, then you will understand what we are speaking about! Ok!
