Our monoculture: iPhone and Samsung for all
- I wouldn't qualify the Z10 as remotely durable. The screen will crack just like any other phone. It's tough to compare how many other phones you see with broken screens because there are so few Z10's out in the market. One thing I do know is that because of the way the Z10 is built if the screen cracks it renders the phone completely useless because of the way the screen is made. It's no more durable than any other phone with a glass screen, except other phones can at least continue to work with a cracked screen and the Z10 can't.
And fire sale prices for the Z10 are great, but if you paid $599 for it when it launched with the terrible battery life and camera that it has I don't think many people would feel like they got a "deal" with that phone.
My battery is fine. Better than Samsung S3 of the day and just as good as the iPhone 5 of the day and the z10 has replacable battery (as does s3). Always make it through the day. My caseless z10 phone has been dropped from heights higher than iPhones that I need seen cracked. Never seen a z10 screen cracked.
And ya, I got a deal with mine.
Not sure what camera has to do with durability, but whatever.

And for a company that prides itself on battery life saying that your phone is comparable to the iPhone and an Android phone of the day isn't much of a win.04-09-16 03:22 PMLike 2 - [QUOTE=donnation;12370952]I guess both of these guys must have defective Z10's:

Wow... when in doubt scour the internet for a couple of links to support your cause. Next time yer there read up on screen crackling and see what brand pops up. I don't know, but I am willing to guess. I am just going by my experience on durability.
Well if you know anything about BlackBerry phones you would know that the z10 is by far the weakest of the BlackBerry 10 batteries of 2013 and isn't indicative of their entire line-up. Their other 3 phones of the day were significantly better in that department. Overall their phones need to be attached to the wall less often than 2013 iPhones or Samsungs.
Remember I was talking durability. You replied with battery. But whatever...

- iPhone vs Samsung is a false choice. Without Google's Android OS giveaway bonanza, none of Apple's current competitors even exist. Google already has them on the ropes, competing for ever smaller pieces of the Android pie and at lower and lower profits. It won't be long before a few start to flounder and poof Google could be back in the Android hardware game, and bye bye to oems...and Samsung and LG would be back to making cheap TVs, blu-rays, dishwashers, and washing machines.

Posted via CB1004-09-16 06:44 PMLike 0 - Actually, I was addressing the audience here in the CB forums ('fora' actually). I happened to notice that there seems to be a healthy contingent of anti BlackBerry, anti-PKB, anti BB10 folks commenting on what one might assume is a space dedicated to those who actually _like_ some of these attributes that are associated with BlackBerry. Instead, I find the opposite, so naturally I'm surprised.

And the reason I brought up battery is because in nearly every post you make including your original one in this thread you like to talk about how much other people spend on phones and how you got your Z10 for cheap. You got it cheap because it wasn't selling and Blackberry wanted to get rid of it. For people that paid $599 for that phone with its battery and camera it really wasn't a very good deal for them. In another 3 years when you buy the Passport for $50 you can rave in here how you got a great deal and other people are paying too much for phones.
And as far as BB's other offerings that year with the Q10 and Z30. The Q10 battery SHOULD last all day with it tiny screen and its funny how BB didn't put a screen like the Z10 in the Z30. They put a dimmed out screen in it to save battery life which is why the battery in that phone is a little more passable than the Z10.Last edited by donnation; 04-09-16 at 07:44 PM.

- Are you asking us or Blackberry this question? None of your points are making any sense or logic despite how intellectual you are trying to make them sound. The only entity saying that BB cannot co-exist is Blackberry. Consumers have a choice of what to buy, and it hasn't been Blackberry do to a multitude or reasons that have been beaten to death in here, not the least of which is BB's awful way it's treated its customers.
Why didn't Palm survive? Can't they co-exist too? Why did the Zune fail? Can't it co-exist too? Honestly it sounds like a bunch of crying on why you feel it isn't fair that Blackberry is most likely abandoning BB10. Take it up with them, not the consumer.

Do you actually believe that ANYone in these forums is some how persuaded to superficially equate post length with "sounding intellectual"??? Or that "sounding intellectual" has ANY thing to do with choosing the best keyboard type for an individual??
I, for one, trust that mods will act if posts get too long. The rest of us are free to read, or not to read.04-11-16 09:22 AMLike 0
