I was so excited when I got the phone as I had been using Blackberry for years and tend to keep phones until they die and brought this one when it was just released. As a Blackberry owner we know there are special things that these phones can do and you get used to them and put up with the little things as its a Blackberry and nothing is perfect BUT I have seriously considered throwing this phone many times.
Now I don't normally rant on forums or put in a complaint about things but my lovely phone pushed me over the edge today, the reason? after waiting to on hold to be put through to my bank the phone decided to mute itself, when the person answered they couldn't hear me so stated they were transferring me to someone who could help me, when that person answered and couldn't hear me, I looked at my phone again and this is when the phone decided to show me it had muted itself, and then the person hung up on me! I know the obvious thing is perhaps that I had muted the call with my ear as we know can happen, but I was on speaker so after wasting 30 minutes trying to speak to someone my phone nearly became part of the wall.
The "touch screen" clearly this means you can simply touch it as it's an optional extra if it decides to work when you tap it, swipe it to unlock or answer a call. At first I thought unlocking the screen must be done in a certain away (apart from the way stated in the manual) but after 3 years I now see it as a game of chance and wait in anticipation to see if I will win the prize.
Trying to download things is also entertaining since I can't use Google play as it can't find my device, when I went through the list of phones on Google Play that are compatible Z10 wasn't on it, so if it is now compatible, for whatever reason my device can not be found despite me doing everything I need to do and getting other people to try as well. Yes I have also done the "what are you talking about its in my hand, i'm using it to access you."
The battery life isn't the best and I find the battery starts to heat up which is a bit of a worry and I do wonder if when it's charging or after use that it will be that hot it will start a fire as its very hot, but if its cold then its a great way to warm up in a short amount of time.
After putting my phone on silent at particular times, it then took it on itself to keep putting itself on silent, clearly it doesn't want to be a phone so I have decided to give in to its demands and just keep my phone on silent which actually has been nice and peaceful, so perhaps my phone knows me better than I know myself.
As with older versions of Blackberry I have had to turn off the phone numerous times just to get the thing to work, I don't know perhaps its a dramatic phone and likes to suddenly have a tantrum and freeze to get its own way, or its the satan sporn of Justin Beiber and is enjoying tourturing me.
Hands free also seems to be an optional extra since it connects and then decides to disconnect and you suddenly hear a little voice coming from your phone and realise the phone has decided it doesn't want to use the hands free function,
I don't have children so never expected to have a 2 year old child in the form of a phone but frankly this is the end for my love of Blackberry, when this phone gives up the go, I will be forced to find another phone (clearly not apple) and sadly move into another direction.
