BlackBerry A10 - User Reviews

  • wonderful phone

  • Re branded z30 ...

  • I was BBZ10 user and Blackberry 10 OS is really the best OS I've ever used. I was once IOS user and then switched to NEXUS 5 which is android. but nothing really came quite up to meet the BB10 experience. It is the best ever. Yes it lacks in the original apps in the BB world but it kind of replaces it with the other markets. BUT !! It is pointless from Blackberry to keep releasing smartphones which are easily beaten by specs by TONS of other devices. We want something which can compete with the other super mobile phones, just like the passport which i believe is a great mobile phone, but in a different way this time. Maybe something all touch and can compete, or maybe a surprise just like the passport which was a very beautiful one. Finally, it's just my opinion, you might agree or disagree ..

  • lovely phone hey

  • Hmm, the blackberry q30 comes to mind. Please remove from rumour mill

  • @abrittishperson you clearly have not tried any of the new blackberries. I have owned a range of phones from samsung, apple, htc, nokia, and sadly for you blackberry is by far the easiest to use has an amazing build quality and a reliable smooth os. Try one before u coment.

  • i hope this model will be a successor and of course, i should buy one.

  • This phone is a shot of a run of proto types that would soon become the q5, and z30. Well, they were being made at the same time and then scrapped fro the q5 and Z30. Notice how close this resembles the z30

  • Just by stating that you have Windows mobile from 2008/9 makes your argument completely invalid. Windows mobile back then was literally the shittest thing possible.

  • we can never tell unless we already used it.. we cannot based on the specs stated here. for what i heared bb os is spectacular but i dont owned one..

  • Blackberry Phones are good , they are quality-built, the problem only lies in there Apps they lack known applications and plenty of them....!!!

  • when will Blackberry stop, their devices are poor, my HTC touch pro 1 and 2 are better than most Blackberry's and they are from 2008 and 2009, running windows mobile 6.1 and 6.5 respectively.

  • Blackberry has been producing lower and lower quality over the years, the software is unreliable, and the hardware is not anything to write home about. I am not a fan of any particular manufacturer, but my advice to anyone is to avoid blackberry as far as possible.

  • Blackberry will always be blackberry.. classy but once u start using u cannot move on to anyother OS>>

  • I do agree u guys that Blackberry is somehow better than those Android and IOS smartphon... u'll find it hard to use but as what they say its just a matter of getting used to.. BB ROCKS!!!!

  • Been with Android since it was first introduced. Coming from Nokia Symbian, android was the best OS I ever used, during the course tried iOS, it was 'okay', then recently decided to give blackberry a chance, and i cant express how impress iam, used note 2, s4 but blackberry 10 in my opinion is what i call smoothness and usability truly packed together. One thing that u guys should know, that Operating system is something different than the hard features of the phone. If you looking for a OS to use than Blackberry 10 is the one if your looking for camera/heartbeat sensor than s5 for you.

  • agree to u completely...

  • every 1 says that blackberry is a box set ,, should not buy,, bt i knw is best handset that i've ever used,, trust me guys it's much better than samsung nd nokia bt untill u use blackberry u won't get this point,,

  • i think it will be quiet better than ,, Z10,,

  • I think it'll be faster than that with a higher resolution screen...the Z10 has a higher resolution screen than that.

  • Z30 as got a 5" screen this supports CDMA bands

  • This is NOT like the Z30. It has a much bigger screen.

  • guyz this is semilar to z30 cuyz come on come up with something nice not the samething everytym or u can chill a bit and think

  • waiting for launch

  • This can be removed from the rumor mill since the Z30 came out.

  • You may not have heard, but microsoft bought nokias phone unit.

  • These specs are preliminar. It will probably have a 5 inch screen and full HD.

  • Meow lol I will buy it, I have z10 and q10 love the q10 more

  • Blackberry cannot make it. While the rest of the phone maker are going for HD specification, this is still stone age. Just like Apple. The company will not survive long.

  • I will buy this one. Waiting for a 5inch bb device

  • hope they launch a dual sim version.

  • BB os 10.2 supports android apps that means it will hv android apps + BB apps

  • wow. Good to hear about it. a big display. I wish if they release ASAP I wish if they increase Camera MP to more then 8mp try to build with Radio option. Already there were some issue for the previous version.( Battery/ display turn motion.

  • 'OS is from BB itself and finding apps for it would be more difficult than finding GOD himself.' The new software release 10.2 will support Android Jelly Bean App which means more Apps for bb users.

  • @ James Then at least BlackBerry will sell one, cause I don't see anybody else buying this phone. OS is from BB itself and finding apps for it would be more difficult than finding GOD himself. Let alone the price tag BB phones have on them, a comparable phone from Samsung would cost $100 to $150 less with better quality and Android OS which is so common that you can't think of an app that you don't find it for Android.

  • Hi Everyone, this is not the A10 Blackberry device. The launched is scheduled for November 2013 and no one knows the device models and the specs. It's just supposition and rumours about how it may picture. So just wait till november then you'll be fixed

  • if this is actually true then i dont really see any difference with z10 except the os and the 5' display!z10 will even get an os upgrade in sept.blackberry need to improve if they want to catch up wif samsung,apple and the likes.poor batery.

  • Yes he is correct in that Nokia cameras are quite poor considering all of the marketing they do to push their phones as replacement point and shoot cameras. As a professional photographer and someone who works in the Mobile Phone Industry i can categorically say that with Nokia we can disprove very easily when it comes down to quality of photo.

  • I hope it does come out and with slightly better specs. Certainly would buy it.

  • Thanx for ur suggestion, u will be awarded very soon

  • this phone should ve digferent colours, like red,black,pink and white so that users can make thier choices of the colour they want. I also wish blackberry will come up in form of z10 with key pad. Just likeQ10is in form of bold5 with touch screen

  • bigger battery.... nice!!

  • even though this device hasn't been announced yet I'm so excited to get my hands on this phone i've been waiting for it since its rumors came out because i haven't tried a blackberry device before

  • wtf......this phone looks exactly like the z10 and it has the same capabilities....just the 5' touch display......ill stick to my z10.....the a10 is a waist of money!!!!!.....os v10.2.....the z10 can upgrade to 10.2 by september 2013.....

  • no this phone does not look like the htc one. its just you ;)

  • nokia and samsung sure do produce phones with 8mp cameras. but do keep in mind that their phones have the best image processing chips which make the image quality better. take the lumia 920 for example. it has OIS and other great features. blackberry has not taken any initiative to make good multimedia phones. blackberry suxx. they should shut down their company.

  • wtf?this is z10 with 5" display,nothing more

  • I'm gonna buy this as I bought others BB devices!!! But I'm sure it's specs will be better than this.

  • wait..what??! nokia with worse cams? are u kinda out of your minds.. you're halucinating..right?

  • Too large dimensions, too tick and with bellow par quality of the screen.

  • Looking fwd to A10! Looks to be a good device, have always been a BB fan : ) Using Z10 and will upgrade to A10. Was wondering few days back when will BB come with a bigger screen and here it is! Wish fulfilled.

  • stop the blackberry

  • Is it just me or this phone looks exactly like the HTC one!

  • Stop moaning about 8Mp cam. Im not BBs biggest fan but Samsung and Nokia are still producing phones with worse cams than 8mp. Also, If you buy a phone at 8mp, realisticly your gonna lower the resolution to 2.3mp due to storage space.

  • poor thing no one is viewing

  • wooow.... blackberry went 5inch...

  • 8 mp camera in 2013 , that's a lame excuse .. and what about the 16G onboard memory .. crazy this is....COME ON BLACKBERRY COME ON
