Blackberry Z10 unlocked $630

Slow shipper is very true. It took 1Saleaday two weeks to ship my Thinkpad, which is unacceptable.

I'm not buying anything from them again.

I figure it's a big seller in Canada because RIM/Blackberry is a Canadian company..

Another hard year for RIM and Crapberry.

I have 2 phones. Both Blackberry and one running Z10 OS on an Alpha device.

WOW, a lot of people are ignorant around here. How about using it first then opening up your trap?

I've been running it for several months and it kicks Iphones ass all day. It has the best phone browser on the planet. Multitasking like nothing else in the market....but yet, you think your opinion is worth something.

Quote from laphroaigh : Blackberry......lol.....dead The smartphone train has sailed and Blackberry missed the boat...... Wait for the firesale people....... http://www.zdnet.com/blackberry-l...000011777/ Funny how its all the noobs defending this phone......

This looks to be wrong. How can they say they sold 300K units when the phone was released a week or so before the article was written in India?

The whole article stinks really, it's not even based on any hard core facts, is it?

Well, I read each and every comment.. But at the end I think blackberry are done, this wanna be high end phone, in a ridicules expensive price was a bigger mistake then Nokia did when decided to go with windows OS instead of android. RIM should have done their best to offer this phone at low cost as possible in order to come back to the game and put their foot back at the door but they didn't. Big Mistake from a company that all most fall apart not long time ago.
So now a few fans will argue, but at the end of the day the answer is simple, this phone will be half the price sale in few months from now.

As per 1sale, dailysteal, and same sites. The reason for these long shipping is because they are not actually holding stock, they are waiting to see how many orders they will get first. By the time they getting the goods to the warehouse and shipping it to the customer they have all ready used your money to pay for other things. Also if you will ask why the delay you will always get the same stupid answers they had a small delay (every time) Hate this sites, doing the best I can not to buy from them unless its a really really good deal

Too little, too late. Ecosystem is everything now. If you don't have enough optimized apps, then you have nothing. Apple and Android run the show. Windows phone picks up the scraps. There's nothing left for blackberry. It will die a slow death or will eventually be bought by a bigger fish.

Quote from gdimarco : Check Ebay, people is paying $1000 for this phone. Go to an Apple store and buy a unlocked Iphone 5, it will be $720 with tax. Decent price for the z10 phone.

People are not paying $1k for this phone on ebay, they are being sold for around $700+ if they are lucky

The Z10 got a 1700+ sunspider score. The iPhone 5 gets sub 900ms.

The Z10 browser is a complete dog compared to mobile safari. You are either a troll or ignorant.

I think BlackBerry 10 will beat Windows Phone 8 for third place, on a worldwide basis.

As for apps, that takes time. One smart thing that BB did is make their mobile browser the best and fastest out there. Many popular apps (banking, airlines, travel, etc.) are just optimized versions of mobile websites. The browser on the Z10 loads these mobile sites (and the various pages on the sites) as fast or faster than apps other platforms. Eventually, as more and more mobile OSes arrive (Firefox, Ubuntu, Tizen would put us at 7+), I think it's going to be more about HTML5 sites that can be used on any device and less about OS-specific apps. Without apps to differentiate it, everything will be down to the quality of the OS itself, not necessarily the ecosystem/apps on it. If this happens, BB will be in good shape.

As for people complaining about the price... yes, it's a high price but that's not indicative of what the carriers will be charging. This site is just trying to capitalize on the fact that the phone isn't widely available in America, so for people who want it now this is a good alternative to buying an imported phone from eBay at the marked up prices that it's been going for. This is definitely intended for a small niche. When the carriers launch it later in the month we'll see how things go.

Sunspider?

If we're comparing specific benchmarks like that, the Z10 browser scored 496 on Html5Test, and the iOS 6 browser scored 395 (higher is better on that test).

I've used both, and in my experience the Z10 browser is much faster in everyday use.

No I'm a certified Android and Blackberry developer. Why do you ask? BlackBerry has the best os right now. Its that simple. It has great security and the best of multitasking. Ios doesn't even come close. Its very limited.

Is this one using QNX? Does it use Neutrino as the GUI or something different?
