BlackBerry Q10 Review


bb-q10-1
The Q10 has a 3.1-inch, 720-by-720-pixel screen and a QWERTY keyboard, but no control buttons between screen and keyboard as in previous 'classic' BlackBerry smartphones. It measures 119.6mm (4.7in.) by 66.8mm (2.62in.) by 10.35mm (0.4in.) and weighs 139g (4.9oz). (Image: BlackBerry)


DesignThere's no mistaking the fact that the Q10 is a BlackBerry handset. The keyboard says it all, with distinctive rows of keys separated by bands of silver, and the shaping of the keys themselves, giving all the clues you need.
The keyboard is absolutely superb. Keys are easy to find under the fingers thanks to their centre ridges, and depress firmly when pushed; they even click a little. There's a small nubbin on the D key whose second function is the number 5, helping you find the number keys by feel easily. We don't want to appear gushing, but BlackBerry still makes the best physical smartphone keyboards by a country mile.

The excellent Q10 keyboard combines with BlackBerry 10 OS features such as contextual autocorrection, next-word prediction and a personalised learning engine to deliver a superb typing experience. (Image: BlackBerry)

The Q10 comes in black or white and has a volume rocker on the right plus Micro-USB and Micro-HDMI ports on the left. At the back, under the removable battery cover, there's a MicroSD card slot for storage expansion. (Image: BlackBerry)
Conclusion
Those who held out for the BlackBerry Q10 following the launch of the Z10 won't be disappointed. The excellent keyboard and clever ideas like Type and Go should make 'classic' BlackBerry fans happy. However the BlackBerry World app store needs filling out, the small, square screen isn't ideal for some uses, and BlackBerry may find that the QWERTY keyboard's days are numbered.
