Should I buy The Blackberry Z10?

This is a guest post compiled by Ifeanyi Abraham for OgbongeBlog

From Blackberry to Samsung to Apple devices, the list of mobile devices to choose from stretches as far as the Atlantic Ocean often leaving one with the question- “Which one should I buy?”.



Yes! So the new Blackberry 10 OS is finally out on several devices sold on different online shops in Nigeria and with tags like “saving OS” “best blackberry OS ever” “best OS on earth” “best OS for a smartphone” being given to it, it definitely has a lot to meet up to in terms of hype from tech lovers and the media.





Blackberry recently released that the first set of devices with the OS; Blackberry Z10, Blackberry q10 and Blackberry q5 with each device unique in its own way with a small differentiation being in taste and price of the devices.



In this review we will take a look at the first device released with the Blackberry 10 OS which is the Blackberry Z10.

The blackberry Z10 is a touch-based smartphone developed by Blackberry and released on January 30, 2013.



Let’s take a quick look at the Blackberry Z10 under a few headers;



Design:



The Blackberry Z10 is definitely not your typical Blackberry device, with features that differentiate it from any other Blackberry device ever built. It has a tall and narrow look, with straight edges that meet at rounded corners, and a roughly 4-inch screen, first look and you would mistake it for an Apple iPhone 5. The phone stands 5.1 inches tall, 2.6 inches wide, 0.35 inch thick and Its 4.8-ounce weight feels right with the phone's proportions giving it a very comfortable grip.



It comes with the supercool Blackberry 10 OS which is gesture driven with gestures such as swipe, tap, pinch, and reverse pinch, all of which have specific definitions within the context of the BB10 operating system and its multi-touch interface.

While the rear end standard camera is an 8 megapixel camera with autofocus and LED flash capable of shooting 1080p video, A unique feature in the Z10's camera app is TimeShift. "BlackBerry has been showing it off for a while, and it lets users dial back the time on certain pictures so that people aren't making less-than-ideal faces in it (like blinking mid-shot). It comes with a built in memory of 16Gb microSD, microSDHC, microSDXC  expandable up to 64 GB. And 2048mb of ram.

BackUp Option Not Shown? BBM 7 Backs Up and Restores Contacts Using Blackberry ID

When I was using BBM 6.0 on my old Blackberry Curve 3, I used to back up my BBM contacts to my email address and SD card using the BackUp/Restore features. When the phone developed some fault which forced me to wipe and reload Blackberry OS on it, I easily restored my BBM contacts from my email address registered with the Blackberry Messenger.

After switching to a new BB powered by Blackberry OS 7, I noticed that there is no more backUp/restore feature in the menu options of the BBM 7 with BBM voice chat. I also noticed that the Blackberry Protect app backs Up phonebook contacts and not BBM contacts. So, I decided to google the new way of backing up and restoring BBM contacts on latest BBs.



Fortunately, I stumbled on an article on Blackberry Knowledge base that explains how the contacts BackUp feature works on BBM 7. Below, is an excerpt from the article:

As of BBM 7 the BlackBerry Messenger contacts are associated with the BBID (BlackBerry Identity). Backing up through BlackBerry Desktop Software will no longer backup BBM as the contacts are not stored locally on the BlackBerry smartphone. When moving to a new BlackBerry smartphone BBM contacts will populate on the device if associated with the same BBID.

In a nutshell, your BBM contacts are now automatically backed up as soon as you login to a BB with your BlackBerry ID. The BlackBerry ID will be used for both backing up and restoring! So, if you buy a new BB and log in with your Blackberry ID, your BBM contacs will be restored onto the new BB.



I hope this helps.



NOTE: Same applies with Blackberry 10 BBM
