- I'm comparing the latest versions of WP8 (GDR2), iOS (7) and BB 10 (10.2). I don't care about North America, why should I? It's like saying: the iPhone 5S wasn't released in my tiny country yet so I will ignore everything you say about it.
0. Yes, I can see how this can be useful.
1. The fingerprint scanner is only available on the 5S and is more a hardware feature than a software one.
2. No Activation Lock, but you have BlackBerry Protect which allows you to block/wipe/find your device.
3. True, but you get the Time shift mode. I would say the camera apps are on par.
4. The build quality is a hardware feature, I was comparing the operating systems.
5. Wasn't comparing 2 companies
6. Again, I wasn't comparing 2 companies
7. Not a feature. Read more about 64-bit computing here: 64-bit computing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
8. I've never experienced this on my BlackBerrry 10 devices, no checker-boarding, no jerkiness, nothing. Also, speaking of browsers: Safari Mobile has no WebGL support which is a biggie.
9. The voice recognition system on BlackBerry 10 does work (it's a lot better in 10.2).
10. It's called Sleep Mode and it's something BlackBerry invented.
11. Your images and videos can be backed up automatically on Box.
12. Why would need this on a BlackBerry if you have an LED that notifies you. This is not a feature.
13. The battery life on my Z10 is very good. I don't know what you are talking about. There have been some issues at launch, but they released 3 major updates since then and this has been fixed. Also, battery life is not an OS feature. Sure, you can optimise the code, but the size of the battery still matters.
14. This is a very stupid feature in my opinion. I hope you can turn it off. There is a reason every email client on this planet has a prompt box every time you want to delete an email.
So in conclusion there are only 2 features in your list: ability to click on a phone number from the browser and the ability to delete an email with a swipe (stupid feature if you ask me).
Regarding the agenda view, how is that one step less? All I have to do on my Z/Q10 is to open the calendar app. The agenda view is the default calendar view (of course, this can be changed to Schedule, Week, Month or Most Recent from the settings menu).
As for your argument that people would buy BlackBerry 10 devices if the OS was that good, I think you are being naive. Web OS was a good OS and look what happened to it. Most people don't even know how good BlackBerry 10 is (that includes you as well). They've read a review/rant and they think they know all about it.

I have probably had more phones than your age and have used them all extensively so I can safely say that what you are trying to spew here is not entirely true but of course being a fanboi you are obviously blind to that. Anyway, enjoy your phone now because it might be a paper weight before long.
And please don't call people "fanbois". It is an insult and only leads to incessant and heated arguments.

And why are you shocked to find a BlackBerry fan on CrackBerry?

- In case you haven't noticed I'm actually a Blackberry fan as well but not so blind to think they have the greatest system on earth. Feel free to check my post history to see how much I have defended Blackberry and fyi I still use and enjoy my Z10 and will continue to do so until BB shuts down or the device is no longer updated but when the innevitble happens I have other choices that work equally well. I honestly do not find any major improvements over the iPhone 5s but I see quite a few improvements on the 5s over the Z1010-21-13 09:55 PMLike 0

The android that flies on 1gb?
The bb10 they refuse to put on less than 2gb?
Is this just bad irony?

Posted via CB1010-22-13 03:32 AMLike 0 - Correct, what we are after is number specific call blocking, which my feature phone had in the past.
This image is "call barring" settings menu, which AFAIR is GSM standart, and any changes in this menu requires a password (operator level pwd). In the past, I used this settings on my phone, at that time operator warning was "the number you're calling does not accept incoming calls" sth, but now the warning is " the number you have called cannot be reached" etc. Obviously I prefer the former.
10-22-13 04:39 AMLike 0 - Sorry, I was mistaken. The Fido MyAccount application only allows you to block incoming text messages from certain numbers, but not calls.
