    Got one for one my employees. Nothing wrong with it. Obviously not quite on par with the Passport's speed, but I found it to be a solidly built device with a similar snappy and fluent experience as the Z30. Nice and crisp display. Nice to hold. Good value for money.

    Sensible review from clearly an android lover. Rare to see that.

    This. Hahah. I just wish BB would mainly focus on devices that'll make us drop our jaws.

    The camera gets high praise, so BlackBerry was correct in flauting it with the feature stamp on the back... or did the feature stamp on the back somehow Jedi-mindtricked the reviewer?

    And the reviewer seems to blame the Leap for his small hands, lol.

    Such a good review except he tried to bash BB10 with the "small" app selection even tho its easier than jail breaking an iphone to install the google play store. And what apps is he talking about that he "needed" to carry an android phone with him as well as the leap? The 7-11 app which uses google play services?? But besides his pathetic rant on apps the review was decent and yeah we get it, a 720p screen is sooo old and low resolution ooohhhh. Yeah right. 720p is pretty decent all my friends say my Z30 screen looks HD as heck! So all the reviewers saying the screen is crap are silly. Sure its not 1080p but its no 480*640 screen lol

    I have to disagree with this review my leap is awesome and don't have any issues at all. No blackberry today can compete with other platforms as far as specs go so what are they talking about!

    Everyone that's sees my Leap thinks it's great especially the price!

    The camera is fine, just like on all BlackBerry 10 devices with 10.3.1.
    Sure it's not a dslr in low light or high action, but if you play with the modes (action, auto, whiteboard etc) you usually get good results.

    Pretty objective review. I'm pleased. I'm a huge BlackBerry fan, and I'd have probably been harder on it.
