Being 58 and going through the early days of the smartphone era and my favorite device to this day was my Blackberry 7100i from Nextel.
I traveled the world with that device and it never let me down. I did have one of the early iPhones with the aluminum back and I remember after using it for a while, I new it was going to be a game changer.
I also thought the original Nexus One by HTC was a lovely device, thin well built and a great screen. Only major draw back was it only had 256MB of memory and filled up quickly after installing a few key apps.
I did buy a z10 the day it was released here in the USA and went through all the restart issues and device exchanges, but I can honestly say OS10 has come a long way since then.
Now I sport a z30 100-5 unlocked model on T Mobile USA and I love the device, solid built, big screen and good call quality. Blackberry has always served my needs for a smartphone which is primarily email and messaging and OS10 does that very well.
The Hub, Peek and the gesturing concepts have grown on me and I now find myself lost without them. I have tried to venture back to IOS and/or Android, but something about Blackberry OS10 keeps calling me back.
My next major purchase will be a unlocked GSM version of the passport as soon as it is available to the public. Blackberry has taken me full circle and with Mr Chen now at the helm, looks to be a fun ride ahead.
