Blackberry Z10 unlocked $630

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

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.

TRY getting your facts right...the iphone is $649+ tax

Oh and idiots paying this price on ebay does not make this slick unless you are suggesting flipping it. In which case YOu will make a nice loss

This phone sells on Ebay for around $700... Just because you saw a stupid listing for $1000 is irrelevant. CHECK THE COMPLETED SALES.

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.

The Z10 reviews have been fantastic.

HTML5Test isn't a benchmark, it is a subjective score based on subjective weighting of standards that aren't even all officially HTML5.

Sunspider is actually a benchmark that determines performance, and the Z10 is a dog. It is worse than the year-and-a-half old iPhone 4S.

Well that's a lie. The 4s rendering of many objects is very slow in html5. I can't believe you actually came up with that crap. Its complete lie. Only certain android based machines can keep up with the z10 in html5. Ios isn't all up there in hmtl5. That's why it needs apps, because the browser doesn't support crap.

What 'certification' do you have? I make iOS and Android apps for a living, and none of the other developers at my company are 'certified'. You don't need a certificate to write code, publish to a store, and make cash.

Security? With the Department of Defense adopting iOS and Android I would say they are plenty secure.

Dude you are clueless. Only Android can keep up with the Z10? The iPhone 5 obliterates both.

This is what the Blackberry Z10 scores.

Well below the iPhone 4S. The Blackberry Z10 browser is garbage.

I've played with this phone hands on and it runs really smooth and looks really sleek. This price might be a little high, but not that much more than the T-Mobile unsubsidised price customers on a value plan will be paying at the end of March when it's released (probably $599.99 - $50MIR). I think most people have already written Blackberry off in favor of other OS's but I think those that give it a try will be really happy with it. I'm anxious to see how it does.

I see that the screenshot says Javascript. Is that a test of how well it runs Java? (Genuine question, I don't know).

If it's a benchmark of overall browser speed, I'm honestly really surprised. For my purposes and everyday activities, I find the Z10 browser to be much faster.
