BlackBerry Z30 review: flagship down | Gearburn
Posted via the Z30 on CB1001-17-14 05:29 AMLike 0 - I don't think it is all that bad, quite truthfully. The thing that I liked about this is the fact that he is not a BB basher, as he stated that he loved the Z10, and some people do not think that the Z30 is enough to migrate to, for various reasons. He did manage to still get out a few positive things, although few and far in between. Remember this, any press, good or bad gets attention in one way or another01-17-14 05:45 AMLike 0
- Unbelievable nonsense. I've had the Z30 for a couple of months and have had none of the problems this reviewer has had. He lost me when he started complaining about the keyboard.
Hub getting hung up?
Perhaps he has a defective unit?

Also, I heard about the wifi problems from other users, it might be a 10.2 thing..01-17-14 01:03 PMLike 0 - I think he needs to update to a leak OS and do fresh install lol

Where is the cursor focused when you hit Reply or Reply All in your device? (What do you have, by the way?) Honestly, he made me feel iffy about getting a Z30 with all the stuff he listed, but the deal breaker was that tapping before typing thing....Mecca EL likes this.01-17-14 03:02 PMLike 1 - Either he has been misinformed or there was something wrong with his device if you do not have to tap before you can start typing in your reply.

I'm running a Z30 and love it. Don't be put off by this wildly inaccurate review.
Posted via CB1001-17-14 04:47 PMLike 2 - kbz1960Doesn't MatterThe end was kind of harsh. And does the browser crash a lot?
Verdict: BlackBerry’s Z30 is an excellent feature phone for anyone stuck in the past. Two years, even a year ago, and the Z30 would have been a contender. But it’s 2014 now (the Z30 launched September 2013), and overpriced, buggy phones like this are unacceptable. While BlackBerry is capable of making some truly decent BB OS 10 phones like the Z10 and Q10, it isn’t going to resurrect its fortunes with this solidly-made, yet messy device.01-17-14 05:30 PMLike 0 - He must have a defective phone and wrist tendinosis. I've never had my browser crash since I've recieved my phone back in October. Second, I have had no problems with wifi. Third, the phone isn't too heavy for taking pictures (wtf was that for a comment haha). Honestly, I found the review to be terrible.

Also, to answer another question, I consistently have between 10 and 20 tabs open on my browser and have never had it crash.
Posted via CB1001-17-14 09:42 PMLike 0 - Honestly, the review wasn't all that bad. The Z30 camera and screen are not very good, the software is still a little buggy (though he is having some serious issues), the app selection is pathetic, the way apps can just inconveniently close themselves can be annoying for some, the boot time is deathly slow, and it is a bit heavy. On BB10 I have also experienced some connectivity issues as well. On the other hand, the battery life, speakers, and browsers are strong points of the phone.

With regards to the hub, in this update its normally up as soon as I unlock, sometimes if I try to go to it really fast when the device turns on, I have noticed it take about 30 seconds or so, but it is way faster than it has been on any other update at loading up upon turning the device on. (I have 6 emails, BBM, whatsapp, fb, twitter, linked in, phones, text, pretty much everything possible to put in the hub, not sure if this effects or not)
Posted via CB1001-18-14 10:48 AMLike 0 - I just tested with the newest 1925 software leak/update. The phone takes about 2 min to to turn and get to my lock screen. Yes that's kind of slow, but when comparing to my note 3, which is faster turning on but once it's on it does all its indexing and crap that by the time that is done it's at about 2 min as well. What's the point in a phone turning on in 30 seconds if you can't use it yet? So I have no complaints with the 2 min to turn 'everything' on and is ready for use.

Could you share your version number and STA model #?

I can definitely see cursor be on TO when hitting forward, but on reply it focus should be on text field.
