BlackBerry Z30 - User Reviews

  • Use d android whatsapp

  • my Z30 not playing media videos

  • question, how do I get Whatsapp on my Z30?! please

  • still using WhatsApp.??how..?

  • My Z30 has been my daily driver since June 2014. It still performs very well. Still using Whatsapp no problem. Battery still lasts the whole day. I'm not going to replace it soon.

  • I feel like I’m posting too much but honestly this phone the speed of it is amazing when it comes to work! Browser rocks. HUb keeps me updated and mobile. Swapping in between the basic apps Remember Tasks Notes And Calendar or Contacts is a breeze and emails as well!! Love this device man seriously hope one day BlackBerry can remake the Z30!! BlackBerry 10 OS is the best!! Cannot believe I was living without it

  • Can't Play Mobile legends on this phone?

  • Unfortunately the only Amazon Apps that work properly are Skype and Spotify. The Chase app is decent too. Spotify is full featured and works great just a bit sluggish at times since its android. Whatsapp and KIK are no longer available via Amazon App Store. I don’t have FB or Twitter so i don’t know how those work on BlackBerry App World

  • does it have android apps like whatsapp and it will support jio volte?

  • This phone is now my daily driver! Love my Z30! The keyboard is superb! The HUB keeps me in check with work. Skype from Amazon App Store is very useful but a sluggish android version that does the job. Battery drains a bit fast but considering its a 2013 phone that's been in use since then lol

  • This link will assist you in getting WhatsApp working for the Z30.

  • Yes u can use WhatsApp on it by clicking from browser WhatsApp for android it works mine does WhatsApp as from march this year

  • The phone works really well hence few fixes can actually help the user to make the most of the phone. Honestly the lack of Google services is not a major problem.

  • which whatsapp version works in it... i bought the phone no whatsapp???

  • Does it supports what's app

  • This phone is actually excellent! Too bad Amazon App Store And BlackBerry App Store no longer work!!! BBM only works for messaging text that is all Phone is very fast and very capable luckily emails still run on the HUB flawlessly! Camera while not the best it does the job! Music player actually is very good! Music EQ and music keys make a great combo! Browser can handle almost everything also. Despite no app support this phone is very capable but i wouldn’t exactly depend on it for much.

  • I like the phone but I need to know the prize

  • Maybe if you ask nicely like a polite human being, someone would answer you.

  • I would like to purchase one how do I go about it

  • Do I have to purchase the apps Like those on the iphone ? And also tell me if YouTube and WhatsApp run smoothly in 2018 or not

  • Had mine since the release its been a great phone but dropped it yesterday and smashed the screen ... the battery still lasts all day and the reception was great, sad to see it go really. Pity it was released too late to compete with apple ... the only downside I could see was the apps ... facebook and whatsapp failed to work but at least FB worked as a web page.

  • Hi , I'm from India....using bbz30....but I ve not recieved software update how to upgrade it to version 10.30.30

  • I've owned my BlackBerry Z30 since new in 2012/13. I believe Jan 2013. Never serviced. Dropped repeatedly during 2014 and 2015. (had case, replaced with same case and I handle it more carefully now) Classic/Q20 most of 2017, but Z30 whenever problems. Tried going Android end of March until first week of May...ugh. Back on Z30 as primary. WhatsApp runs fine, but no pix no attachments. Voicenotes, calls and text. Facebook Lite and Messenger Lite 100%. AppStore runs great. Screen is slightly cracked, it doesn't cut me and I can see my screen 99%. Battery lasts amazing when Dark Themes are used. There might be a Power Save mode I don't know, I've never needed it. Not only is this the best phone BlackBerry has ever made (10-year BlackBerry user here), but this is the best mobile device I've ever owned and used. I've been using cellular phones 24 years, after 4 years of pagers.

  • Yes, my BlackBerry Z30 and BlackBerry Classic both received the 10.3.3 update earlier this year. Specifically, 10.3.3.2137. I'm in Toronto, Canada at the moment. Posted in early July 2018.

  • use the autoloader 10.3.3.3 option to upgrade this device. have done mine and it's running seamless.

  • hello please i reset my BB Z30 since i cant pass the last step that is to swipe down please how can i do ?

  • did anyone received OTA update 10.3.3 anywhere bcs till now i didnt receive in KUWAIT

  • I have the Z30 as one of my active phones. No what’s app it’s over

  • Pls advise this devise whats app install in future

  • Ofcourse, Z30 runs android apps up till version 4.2. Simply install WhatsApp for Android.

  • I would like to buy BB z30. Is that worthable in 2018 and it's supporting 4G indian bands? Kindly guide me

  • Plzzz.use...share it bro

  • Love this phone and love this os bb10

  • It’s a very good phone. But too outdated. Most apps don’t work on BlackBerry anymore

  • Not anymore. What’s App went dead on January 1st 2018. Lol. But I haven’t found an alternative from the B.B. App Store or from Amazon. Meantime I refuse to let go of my Z30. It’s so optimized!!! Great phone

  • First u install ESFILE EXPLORER and if u have a pc copy the apps to ur internal or external storage and open the es file explorer and open it some apps might be open but we cant connect it (eg. Xende,shareit.... )

  • If you want whatsapp go to your android.. otherwise BBM and amazon has many msging apps. Take a min read, explore it. So much better.

  • Question: After Dec 2017, would it be possible to use WhatsApp based on Android and how does one download it? I'm using BBerry Z30

  • Z10 is a very big shit too, battery terrible, looses network almost all the time! And support now 0! Shame on them this company with their phones with astronomical prices!

  • Please how can I resolve my phone application problem? Applications like whatsapp, imo, Google Translate etc do not stay for more than 5 to 10 mins after switching on my phone. All I see after 5 or 10 mins of switching on my phone is..... Process com.android.systemapps isn't responding. Do you want to close it? Wait Ok

  • Whatsup is still supported for BB10 till end of 2017. Thereafter you can use the android Whatsapp (needs some work around check on crackberry). Viber you can only run an older android version then the latest but works fine.

  • Z30 is a garbage shit with Non-removable battery if you compare it with Z10

  • Yes they works on BB Z30.

  • Hi no man z30 is the best I have a z30 and it supports anything really OK bye sweet heart

  • My handset earpiece suddenly stop working after a few days of distortion. Now when taking or receiving calls have to use speaker phone. Please help

  • My Z30 has just done the same really annoying. Has done it once before when they upgraded s/w taken days to get back. It's not playing ball this time.

  • Leave it to charge by 20 minutes, at least, do not pull the charger out. Then start the phone. Sometimes, BlackBerry phones have erratic behaviours. You just have to understand it.

  • Whatsapp crashes constantly, almost no decent apps available. Get an android or Iphone.

  • i was browsing with my blackberry z30 and the power got finished,it took me around an hour to arrive home to recharge but it did not open. i thought may be its because the had finished and decided to give it more time but since sunday upto now it hasnt opened up. the only thing that is showing is the orange light at the end and it only shows up when i put the phone on power but immideatly i remove,the ligh goes off. what could be the problem and why should a phone just stop operating just like that?

  • Are you serious about the Z30 supporting whatsapp because I really want to get one?

  • No,z10 is the best device ever made

  • Z10 is the best device ever made

  • I am not able to use volte on my BlackBerry z30 else reset is awesome

  • Z30 is the best BlackBerry10 device ever made.

  • Im using z30 best phone ever coz im using whatsapp on it. Ive been using this phone for 4 years now battery still good...

  • Would be nice to see how the larger battery and processor help there touch screen os 10 device, love the z10 for calls email quick browsing information. The updates seem strange. I have reset my Z10 a few times. I had the browser running the modern outlook perfectly without desktop mode and google drive.. now my browser says it wont support google+ (unless I use desktop mode I just don't like the fit). But the weather app will open it fine?? May try to hunt one of thes down the HDMI port is handy.

  • I have Z10 for a while and I can admin that's it's quite fine phone with no lag. The only problem was mic - it broke up

  • You are also not normal as your crap z30

  • Lmfao!

  • You wish. I have all BB10 devices. I know all of them. So, Z10 is crap. Your claim about removable battery and not, doesn't make sense. Look, after Z10 and Q10, everything else has non removable batteries. It has no difference. Are you delusional? Are you just after the convenience of replacing a dead battery? Hahaha.. cut the crap along with your Z10. And all your other claims are basically nit picking.. LMFAO!!!

  • Lol 1st use z10 then say about z10. I had z30 , great shit,crap,especially battery is Non-removable,heavy,brick,low ppi,impossible to use with 1 hand when needed,design about 10 years ago and ect etc. Understood now lol?

  • Z10 is worst compared to Z30. LOL

  • Z30 is a real crap but z10 is the best device ever made

  • You wish.. no wonder Z30 was quickly released after the Z10. As the Z10 was and is crap in every way. Z30 for the win!

  • The real crap is z30, non removable battery,low ppi,heavy body, it is not a phone, it is a brick.But Z10 is the best device ever made

  • Z10 is crap compared to Z30. It cannot hold a candle vs. the Z30.. Z30 all the way!

  • Do not update! It will brick your BlackBerry. 10.3.3.xxxx is buggy!

  • U r wrong Z10 is much better than z30 in all aspects, especially removable battery, higher ppi,compact design, thinner, easy to remove or change the battery yourself

  • I heard blackberry z30 won't support whatapps next month

  • Hi all user, Last week I got a software release 10.3.3.1435. Shall I update!? Anyone please tell that what are the features they have added and known issues please reply me faster. Thank you.

  • Z30 is better than Z10 in all aspects.

  • No difference between removable and non removable. It's a matter of how you use and abuse your phone.

  • No,Z10 is much better than z30,also Z10's battery is removable,ppi is much higher,but z30 is not.If battery is not removable that means it is not your,looks like a rental phone,any battery problem,go to service center,open whole phone just for simple battery changing which you can do easily yourself if battery is removable.

  • z 30 s much better than z 10.. long life battery, os s more faster..better ur choose z 30

  • My Z30 is built like a tank. It gets better as it gets older. I mainly use it for multimedia purposes. Watching livestream shows, movies and as a PC on the go with my Bluetooth keyboard and mouse and a spare monitor.

  • pls how can i change the blackberry user I.D without wiping it

  • how can I use Xender or flashare in z30 to transfer data to other phone?

  • Never get Z30 instead of Z10.Because Z10 has removable battery, better specs,design.

  • How much can i buy bb z30 in Nigeria presently now.....someone should help me pls

  • They're very similar, but the Z30 has the edge. Off the top of my head: 1. Bigger screen, and uses SuperAMOLED 2. Better processor (S4 Pro vs S4 Plus) 3. Newer You'll have to decide if the higher price is worth it, unless you can get both at the same price, in which case get the Z30 for sure.

  • I.need to know whether z30 is best or z10??? Reply me quick please

  • Plz tell me blackberry z30 support whattsapp video calling and otg cable in india

  • I'd say that $125 is still a little bit expensive. There are plenty of 'Like New' Z30's on eBay that list for less than $90. If you're buying refurbished, you'll need for know how long the phone has been used, and whether or not the battery has been replaced. Otherwise you'll probably experience horrible battery life. And as always, ask for photos of the condition of the phone and test it out in person if you can.

  • Yes BlackBerry z30 support android 4.2 jelly beans and ios app store 6.0, thats the best benifit of z30 u can download both, I am using this phone since 1 year and its really nice.

  • Is it still worth to buy Z30 in 2017 by almost 125$ ( NEW INTACT ) ??? If all phones are refurbished then how can I define that the Z30 is new or refurbished ???

  • YES

  • Hey bro , i like the BB z30 , And that i want to know this phone can support the android apps or not ? can i buy that phone ??

  • Hey Ajit, Most of the android apps are working fine with this phone, also whatsapp android version is working great on this I have tested it on my z30, there is no need to get a cheap phone just for whatsapp, also I am using android apps for ICICI bank, Airtel, OLA (Maps not supported though), Uber, IRCTC, Moneycontrol, M-Indicator, ditto TV, Youtube, Big Basket, Airtel Money, alo, Android play store. You need to tweak few things on your PC for some apps, like i use PS Patcher 1.6 to remove play service dependency in some apps. All this apps work great on my BB z30. Also update to OS 10.3.3+ for smoother experience.

  • whatsapp available for lng tme. i heard that it will not be wrkng soon.. can anyone say plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

  • Damn, thought I was first to say it

  • Big update has arrived on my Z30

  • Z10 is much much better than z30 and q10

  • I am from India and i feel very sad to say that gradually a lots of apps are taking back their support to this bb os. Like net banking. Those apps are now no longer supporting. Perhaps after few days no apps will be there for us. Still i say i am not going to change this amazing phone. Obviously Whatsapp is necssary but not necessary than my z30. Rather i may use any cheap android phone with this.

  • NO

  • of course z30 !!! no doubt about this !!

  • Yes

  • Yes

  • yes you can..I have it on mine

  • can i use whatapp with this mob. some one pls hlp me

  • I've owned my z 30 since Dec 2013, I friggin love this phone and will use it till it dies. It's never let me down and I've only turned it off twice in it's life, hope I didn't jinx it by posting this ..

  • I've had the BB Z30 since it's launch and only got myself to sell it now. It is the best BB ever in my opinion. The Passport is nice and I had it too, but it was just too awkward to carry around. Also had the Q10, but screen size was not to my liking. I'd recommend the Z30 anyday to anybody considering a BB with BB10 operating system. It is a pity that BB decided to convert to Android since BB is just not the same. BB Priv in my opinion is just another Android phone in my books and no longer special…

  • of course q10

  • I recommend z30

  • hello I love be brand but don't know much about them, pls I can someone recommend 4 me between q10 n z30. which one is more better. tnx

  • my BlackBerry z30 pop up an update software 10.3.3.1463. can I updated it?

  • Try download from there .. z30 makes android apps work

  • Try holding down both volume keys at the same time for 35 seconds maybe that will reset the phone.

  • Z30 is a good phone and does what I need, well built and battery still holding full charge since I bought it in October 2013, also have a Z10 still in use from January 2013.

  • my z30 stopped functioning after removing unplugging from charger. It's not displaying anything, though the red light blinks a bit. What could be the problem?

  • Z30 is just like a tank so steady

  • Dear Friends Z30 Supported by VOLTE.

  • You installed the android apk through .apk or what? Usually after you install and android app you need to restart the phone. Otherwise it will close itself when you launch it.

  • I need a bbz 30, but is the fm radeo working parfectly?

  • BBM works worlds better in my opinon. Ask your friends to use it( BBM) on Annys and Ipones..

  • Try Removing the battery,waiting 5 mins, then re install, your problem could be a bad battery, charger or both, you have to trouble shoot to be sure...

  • I am a blackberryz10 user.and I don't like the idea of whatsApp that only newest android and iPhone will have access..it just not far guys there are many people who rely on whatsApp for almost every thing they do on their everyday basis...

  • Pls help my z30 just stopped charging suddenly, its been that way for 3 days now. No matter how long its plugged, it does not charge and now no longer powering up.who has an idea wats up?

  • yes, the "bell" symbol it is. all android notifications appear as that symbol

  • The only possible way is to turn your phone silent and then, take your snap :)

  • I had the same problem and just changed my sd as you did and the problem gone.

  • Ok.I have found the "solution" for those 50% that have the sd card problem.A KINGSTON 64Gb class 10 sdxc 90mb/s read,45mb/s write UHS-I.It is working flawless.before I have tried 2 brand new SanDisk ultra 32gb sdhc class 10 uhs-I and tried to get them working on my z30 as they should for two month,but in vein,they both often ended up with corrupted data,so I have tried a different brand and,just like that,the headache was finally over.

  • Z30 is a great phone.not much to praise,not much to woo.the only real bad thing I have to stick out is the sd card slot on this device.It is basically useless because it tends to leave you with a corrupted data on your sd card in a matter of hours/days.It is happening randomly,without a warning.And this is happening on at least 50% of the bb10 devices (I have summed that up based on the complaint ratio that can be found online on that particular subject).So if you are a storage hungry maniac,bb10 devices are not for you(or buy a mini usb-otg card reader).Btw,the support webpage for the z30 in particular is non-existent on the global BlackBerry site,so we are left to rot with our corrupted sd cards.

  • Don't upgrade BlackBerry 10.3.3 it's everything's else And not able to downgraded

  • what is the password for call block

  • simpel, because BB Z30 verizon version (STA 100-3) only support 2 freqs, which is 700 and 1700 Mhz

  • Will there be blackberry hub integration for the android whatsapp

  • as long as i know, WA stops to continue support for native WA for BB OS. and for Android which is we can get is from 'play'store is still going. conclusion, after the end of the year, unistall native WA for BB OS then install WA sideloaded from playstore (android platform) or the .apk one

  • why do you have to use internet browsere before facebook opens! its different from android

  • why blackberry z30 verizon signal 4g not work in frequency 800 & 1800

  • You can still use What's App after 31 Dec, just get it from play store. I am currently using it and it works fine.

  • Why do u suddenly have to browse through Google on my z30. It started last week.pls help

  • Hi, I m using 1 mobile market app but some apps like Ola, Paytm are not working. I have downloaded Google Account Manager APK but it is not getting install

  • 31 dec. 16 whats app close blackberry z series phone

  • Try 1Mobile Market. Thats where i got my whatsapp

  • how to reset to factory setting? How long?

  • After 31st December 16 how can we use Whatsapp in this os. Will it be possible to download whatsapp from Amazon Appstore just like facebook?? Please reply if you have any idea about it.

  • Touch and hold the app you want to uninstall in home screen, then you will find a delete mark on the top of that app. Touch that.

  • I had faced that problem too, after resetting the phone to factory mode it was solved. Now it works fine.

  • After using 1 year my view (also uses samsung grand, A5, moto x play and iphone 4) First thing u can not compair bb10 os with android. As per my experience BlackBerry os10 is the best OS. BlackBerry z30 is the best device what I have ever use. It has best battery, super amold screen touch is awesome, superb camera, one of the most unique feature blackberry hub (who always make u smile if u r switching android to BlackBerry 10 os),u can reply message from the notification without opening. Superb apps in menu like story maker (u can arrange your photos with music and enjoy in HD.), evernote, password keeper, and smart tags. Super amold touch, 2GB ram 16Rom, 8/2MP camera, HDMI port, BlackBerry maps, Organizer, Document editor, Photo/video editor. U can get fetures who is not available in iphone 6. So as per my used experience if u are not a big android lover (who always sleep) go for it u never regret. 1. UI - 10/10 2. OS - 10/10 3. Battry - 10/10 4. Camera - 9/10 If u want to spent about 20k go for it.

Has way more built in features than the native apps on Android or iOS like save videos and pictures. Whine – Built for Blackberry Vine app. Does not sync with HUB (good thing). Costs $$$$ but worth it. Has way more built in features than the native apps on Android or iOS like save videos.

  • Convert your current blackberry to android in less than $100. You have blackberry Z30 and need android apps. No need to buy any android phone or iphone. Just buy Andriod tablet with only wifi connection, which cost less than $100. Blackberry phone are best to use for work place throughout day. After work, turn your blackberry hotspot on and pair with any android tablet priced within $100. You can use all the apps and enjoy life. Also screen may be 7 inch to 10 inch and you can enjoy better. So you are comfortable both at work place using blackberry and appear sober. Also you can enjoy android tablet with all the apps. Enjoy..... Maneesh Dhauni REPLY22 Mar 2016

  • It is not dangerous to do a full battery drain until the phones shut down by himself ? This was the rule back in the days when NiMh and NiCad batteries needed this to refresh somehow. It's a Li-Ion batterry right now.

  • Hello there. Same big problem here. It's been 3 weeks since I updated the phone to the newest version. I have done several security wipes, battery drain, absolutly no result from any of these. Any other ideas or opinions please ??

  • This BB Z30 is the most extraordinary phone i've haved and using in present.Very fluid OS, also I succed to do some breathtaking pictures with this 8 MP camera in the mountains.The exposure is just perfect. I am an ex-owner of Samsung,Htc,Sony (they are good too but incomparable with Blackberry). The HUGE problem i got right now is the battery life. After the last software update (10.3.2.2836 exactly) my monster that get me trough 2-3 days of using quite hardcore the phone now i got only 1 single day. It's killing me ,seriously ,it's not a 1800 mAH battery :( . I've did 3 Securitiy wipes,restarted my phone 10 times......nothing. The battery health is great (i've checked myself). So please give me some solutions guys . I'm afraid of the next software update.....what will it bring ?? Perfomance or somethin' bad

  • You won't regret if you buy it... trust the good opinions! If you have the money get priv if not get z30 and yes after 3 years its so better even in comparison of higher priced phones...its fast nice classy and so useful update and enjoy your device!

  • Kazeem just try to install the BB App Store once again...otherwise do a factory reset and everything should be in order...Dont forget to take a Backup before doing a Factory Reset...

  • I agree with Cotux...

  • Not correct!!! It's possibile to install play Store app and all google play and Service app. But you must have a "cobalt patch". Whit google play store the Phone is very stable and there are no app that no funziona or only the app that require an Android version up 4.3.

  • when you bought it plz

  • I have google play for a least nine months

  • Great, very useful suggestion...thanks

  • My first BlackBerry was Curve 9320, and I had no problems with its battery life. Same with Z30 (using since June 2014) - battery life is much better as it's 2,880mAH, and by the way, I use my phone extensively (making and receiving 30-40 calls a day, some spanning more than 5-10 minutes also, viewing mails of my 11 (10 Business + 1 Personal) e-mail A/Cs, using WhatsApp (40-50 posts receiving as well as sending in total). Camera is perfect - using it for even taking snaps of machines, people,.... Exploring to upgrade to BkaclBerry PRIV, as Z30 is not as fast as I need a phone to be.

  • For now,i am enjoying my z30.I don't have any problems at all

  • Try using another provider or connect to a wifi...the network is not sufficient for the app world

  • All blackberry problems is the battery. my first blackberry is the storm 2, then the q10 and my last is z30 all of those bb batteries only last for half day.. z30 camera is not good.

  • That issue happens when you update. But give your device at least a week to settle in with the new update. Do a battery drain and a hard reset at least once, and your device will be back to normal function at least.

  • This issue began recently, you may need to do hard reset and probably log a complaint with blackberry by following [email protected]

  • Please i can not access blackberry world from my z30.it shows an error has occurred and blackberry world will be closed. try waiting a few minutes and reopening blackberry world. please i need your help.

  • Just a hint: I was unhappy about the slow and sluggish auto focus. It was hard to get a clear photo quickly (snap shot). So I switsched off the "auto suggest" feature in the camera settings. It seems that this feature slows down the auto focus. The camera works a lot faster now, at least for me.

  • Actually, you can with a bit of work. There's a tutorial on youtube by AgentJucey showing you how to do it

  • Some android apps can run in BlackBerry 10, however many cannot. Android Apps that change the interface like custom launchers, or widget apps will not work. Only apps that run in a separate window like Facebook or games will work.

  • No you cannot install Google play on a BlackBerry. The 10.3 update includes the Amazon app store which has the most popular android apps. You can install .Apk files ( that's the suffix for an android app.) from anywhere on the internet. There are literally hundreds of online "app stores" from which you can download android apps.

  • Hi and thanks everyone for the good information I found here. I have a small problem. I updated my BB Z30 from OS 10.2 to OS 10.3.2. Now with Blackberry 10.3.2 the battery drains much faster than before updating. Does anyone know if it is possible to go back to 10.2 OS? Or is there a newer version of the OS going to be available soon for Z30 to update? Because I don't like BB 10.3.2 at all. Or is there a way to make the battery last longer, like before updating? Thanks

  • thanks for reply my problem is solved my hand set blackberry Z30 is ok 4g network

  • can we instral google play store to z 30 with the update of 10.3 ? if yes ,is it allow all the apps

  • The z30 is still a viable device, and BlackBerry 10 is a solid and stable operating system. It is very different from Android and ios. Regarding its age...What's more important than the specs of the hardware is how well it runs the software. The z30 runs smoothly and the BlackBerry 10 interface is intuitive and natural once you get use to the gestures. I understand your concerns about updating software, however unlike other platforms software updates that seem to over work older devices and cause them to lag a bit BlackBerry 10 performance is enhanced with each update on all BlackBerry devices. Your phone will actually run better after the software updates.

  • Check your network frequencies, you should be able to find that info with a quick search, then compare them to the frequencies your z30 model uses, the z30 comes in different models that use different frequencies for different regions. sta100-2, sta100-3 and so on. You may find that your model will not be compatible with your GSM network. It that is the case I recommend disabling the LTE radio in the engineering screen. This will help save a little battery. If you need I can explain how to do that in another post. Hope that helps.

  • Helo brothers my bbz30 not support the 4g network and imo voice call also working now what can I do plz help me regding 4g lte

  • I love this comment..your right dude!

  • No. The priv in an Android phone. I'm not interested in another animal in the overcrowded Android zoo. I agree with the poster who wants a successor of the z30 (z40): 5-5.2" and BB OS! I've a z30. BB should keep the z line alive.

  • Helo brothers my bbz30 not support the 4g network and imo voice call also not working now what can I do plz help me

  • Don't go for BB, coz as u said ur frequently using Android apps it won't supports much apps in BB Still ur wish.. Enjoy have a nice day

  • i read good and bad opinions...what is like in real life? is it stable,solid built? if I buy a 10.2.1 version,when I update him to newest version,is there any danger for z30 to not work properly? is it better than other android phones at same price range,after 3 years on the market?

  • I believe you are looking for a device that has already been released... the BlackBerry priv. It's a flagship touch device featuring a slide out keyboard and runs android os. There will be no more "z" or "q" series devices as they were named by the previous ceo of blackberry. Expect future devices to have more conventional model names. Passport, leap, priv...

  • Total memory used by the system after the 10.3 update will be about 5.6 gb. Due to the relatively small storage of 16 gb. I highly recommend using a micro SD card of at least an additional 16 gb. For your pictures and music. Better to keep the phone storage reserved for apps and os updates. This will keep your z30 running better for longer.

  • can anyone help me frnds wen bbz30 how much memory will occupy wen it update in to latest new version and it wil struck are not...

  • can anyone help me frnds wen bbz30 will update in to latest new version how much memory will occupy and the mobile will struck are not

  • can anyone tel me frnds how much memory can occupy wen z30 update 2 latest new version and after update the z30 will struck are not....

  • Each BlackBerry os update includes software improvements that give your phone new features and improve performance. You will never degrade the functionality or performance of your phone by updating the software. If you have an unlocked device you update comes directly from BlackBerry servers. If you have a locked ( carrier branded) device then your updates come from your carriers update server and are typically released several months after they are released by blackberry. The most recent release of blackberry 10 is version 10.3.2.xxx. To check your version go to settings/ about. To check for updates go to settings/software updates.

  • Well, that depends on specifically which apps. The current release (10.3)of the BlackBerry 10 os has the Amazon app Store which allows you to install many popular android apps. If you can't find the apps you are specifically thinking of there, then there is most likely something similar in the BlackBerry App World. Before you order a z30 remember to check your carriers frequencies and make sure they match with the z30 sta model number you are looking at. You may not be able to get lte data service everywhere with the models currently available. But for what it's worth I have a sta100-5 on at&t in the u.s. Which means I don't have lte data, but I get more than adequate data speeds on wcdma, about 4-8 mbps. I don't want to discourage you from buying a z30, it's a great device, just don't want you to have any negative surprises.

  • I want to switch from android 4.4.2 to BB Z30. Although my current set has not as high configuration, I have doubts as I have never used BB phones. I frequently use various common apps of Android. Pls advise.

  • how it gets updated, i don't get it clear yet, please clear up my doubt on it, what kind of update and how it cab be done?

  • No... by every update the phone gets better

  • I should also add that if you use .pdf files you should consider that the bb10 of has a native file Explorer where the iPhone does not. What this means is on an iPhone without downloading an app you cannot save a .pdf to the phone to open/edit/save changes/attach to email. Whereas the z30 has all these capabilities.

  • Both are good choices, it really depends on your planned uses. Some points to consider; the z30 us much more affordable. At about $230 you cant even get a refurbished iPhone 5s so the blackberry has a huge price advantage. But don't let that make you think the z30 is inferior, with Apple you pay a lot for the brand recognition while RIM is fighting for market share. Another factor to consider is the legendary ruggedness if blackberry phones while iphones are still notoriously fragile. With the z30 you also get a larger screen. Apart from that it really comes down to preference. There are hardware differences but none that you would notice in day to day typical use. Hope that helps.

  • Did you buy unlocked or carrier phone? There are several versions, STA100-1, STA100-2... STA100-6. The correct sub model for you is determined by your region and network. For most of the US (at&t) you want the STA100-5 model.the frequencies that the radios are compatible with is the difference. I suspect that if you are having reception issues then you likely bought an unlocked phone that is not compatible with most of the frequencies that your particular network uses. Check you model variant in the settings/ about menu. out the link.

  • Buy it 4/2014..internal memory almost full, 32gb memory card left 4gb memory, few time drop by my child but still functional..no lag,speaker,camera, charger port battery still awesome..i used bb8250,9930,iphone5s,6, note3,note 4,s4,s5,alpha,a7,a5,j5..but z30 still with me..

  • z30 reception signal is bad

  • No complaints about BB Z30, I'm using since last year every thing is good & perfect mobile and battery backup

  • Both mobiles are good but in BB you'll get extra storage

  • Try the z30. Cheaper and has some great features . the greatest I would say are the quality of the calls, the operating system, easy to use and more professional. Good camera, great speakers, kills the iPhone. Less apps, but who cares. You can install Google Play on it, Google that information it is not hard. You will fall in love with it.

  • It is a solid phone. You should definitely get it. You will be totally happy with it. Holding the phone feels amazing and the phone call quality is awesome, beats all Samsung's iPhone etc. Not as many apps but who cares. A phone is a a phone not a laptop. I had mine for 3 months then I had an accident and the phone broke, wanted to buy one again but couldn't find soon enough, now I got an android phone,newer then the z30, but I miss the z30 everyday. Will probably buy it again from amazon

  • The BlackBerry Z30 is a powerful device, I so much love the phone, but unfortunately I can't afford it. But, when will BB give us the upgrade of the Z30? The Z series upgrade is long overdue. Give us Z30 upgrade[Z40] with Specs/Feats: OS BB10.3.3, Display screen Gorilla Glass 4; 3.2x5.2 Inches at 1280x1280 PPI, RAM 3GB/ROM 32GB, SD card: 128GB, Cameras: 18MP back/front 5MP, CPU: Octo Core 3.5GHz, battery: 5200mAP, FM radio, and upgrade of every other specs/features of the Z30? We want the Z40 to have the base keys [menu and escape keys] like Android and Windows phones. It should also come with both touch and slider keyboards like the BB Priv. Believe me, it will be a killer in this 2016. Thanks.

  • ...after updating ma OS, I had no radio app showing up: why, any help?

  • best smart phone mon planet ,powerfull battery for gamerz like me, good mult taskin that make me underestimate the iphone ,

  • Great phone. Keyboard is so fast! Camera is pretty great, music player is really good, HDMI is really great. As odd as it sounds, the native apps like Remember, File Manager, HUB, and many others are so perfect. Coming from an iPhone and a Samsung Galaxy S5. This is one great machine. Don't care to go back to iOS or Android. Not a fan of the Amazon App Store as most apps there are very laggy but they get the job done. The browser on the Z30 can handle everything.

  • What issues have you had with the z30?

  • i will bought or not this mobile pls tell me frnds

  • No its not compatible for it

  • go for z10 my bro

  • i am using Z30 last 6 months, very nice phone its having double speakers, taking pics nice clarity,selfi also, much more editing options. memory 16 gb we can put 32 gb card also. HDMI port having to show pic on LED TV. specially very nice battery life 2880mah it lasting 2 days with internet 24 hrs.

  • go for z30 1000%

  • Go for z30 mate, z10's 4.2 inch screen is too small for today's phone, it was an optimal size for a phone 2-3 years ago but now I think it is 5 inch minimum. Besides z10 has 1800 mAh battery, which was considered good 2-3 years ago, now you see lot of phone use 2-3k+ mAh battery, z30's is 2880.

  • I can't decide. Please anyone help z10 or z30?

  • I am using BlackBerry z30 from last 2months, it's amazing phone, battery is great, once you u use z30 u never like any thing. U feel complete about your phone.

  • It is better than z10... maybe someone say according to specs z30 has lower density but I would tell you it is better than z10 it is much brighter the colors are muuuuch better. The speed is faster. The battery is amazing. So if you don't have problem with the shape of passport, passport is better. But if you dont like that z30 is veery good. I had z10 4 months ago. You won't regret if you get z30.

  • Well if u come from android you should be prepared for lack of native apps, z30 is very much the same with z10, but with higher processor, larger battery, lower display density and type, it uses amoled like q10, personally I prefer ips than amoled, the colors in amoled q10 looks yellowish compared to z10 ips display Passport is currently bb10 phone with highest spec, 453 ppi 3450 mah quadcore 2.26 GHZ, it is comparable to high end android with similar release period, this is my daily driver now and I cannot move to other phone now, because it will be disappointment like JC said, you should watch his videos on YouTube, May be you should wait several months so Priv, android blackberry phone, price is reduced to reasonable level, now it is too high, don't buy phone when it is just released the price is very high.

  • Z30 vs passport ? Passport: faster processor, physical keyboard, IPS lcd screen z30: somewhat slower processor, full touch, amoled screen I like real black, not fuzzy dark, so i prefer amoled, and, I prefer full touch, so z30 for me. The z30 has a decent CPU, no lags at all, even in games, so floats my boat.

  • I am looking for a wireless charger for a Z30?

  • ...been an android fun for close to 5 yrs now: I switched to de BlackBerry OS with the z10 n really love it. Am now thinking of getting the z30 in de coming weeks n de passport some months later. #pls is de z30 as ccool as de z10?

  • Thats really interesting your comment. I went from a Z30 to a S4LTE and frankly the experience has been the opposite of your observations, with the exception of the camera. I have been very disappointed with the lag and the Samsung interface. Then there is the question of security and the constant access by so many apps to everything you do. The BB email client and the general OS to me is superior. OK the Z30 could do with more power but it certainly is no worse than the Samsung S4. Perhaps the S5 is what I should have bought, but they were very expensive at the time. The biggest issue really is security. Android still has not got its act together.

  • My Z30 has been great! I would say go for it for sure!

  • i have interested to purchase blackberry Z30 or blackberry passport please guide me which one is best for using and also tell me the features and battery timing of both handset.

  • Bb z30 is worst

  • Friends I have problem with headset connection recently when I attach it it randomly get connect and disconnect. Both handsfree and phone jack has no problem I've checked them with another device or headset. Z30 10.3.1

  • From apps perspective moto, samsung etc but from productivity and security perspective one n only option is Blackberry.

  • On my second z .30. Great phone. BB took too long.

  • hey guys which mobile is better... bb z30 or moto x play

  • Blackberry Executives should be fired.

  • I love this device, works so smooth even almost two years after purchase, OS BB10 never crashes, no lags at all. Good battery, excellent browsing and call connection of perfect quality. BlackBerry did a very good job here, great and very underrated phone imo

  • terrible thing BB management is doing with such a device. I finally sold my z30 and bought samsung on5. Totally delighted with the buy. light weight, utorrent works like charm, no lags with FB or whatsapp that i faced with z30. most amazing part battery is 25% better than z30. never hangs. had been a BB fan since i bought z10. but disappointed with the recent developments about selling of the company and shifting to android platform. Sammy has not disappointed to be honest.

  • avoidable - very poor gsm/4g antenna - very poor wifi antenna - doesn't work well in weak signal areas - does not run many popular android apps eg., flight radar. I regret buying it Good : battery lasts a full 11 to 12 hrs without charging

  • Blackberry executives should be fired for sitting and doing too little with such a great mobile OS. Release 5-10 phone models per year and watch the market respond. Why are all BB OS phones so heavy and small screen to size ratio. The z30 is 170 gms with 5.0" screen, while Samsung gives us a note4 and note5 is 172 gms at 5.7" screen, the LG g3 and g4 is only 150gms with a 5.5" screen. The Blackberry Priv looks and feels great, I can understand it being a bit big and heavy due to the keyboard. But BB executives seems to purposely be putting a great effort for Android, this is not fair to BB os . Giving your own OS unwanted phone specs and then giving an outside OS a better phone specs sounds a bit disloyal.

  • It is smooth in its own right. It wont feel as fluid as the iPhone or the Samsung GS6, but it does not lag at all.. unless you decide to use the Android Amazon App Store apps on an Blackberry, the apps themselves feel clunky, laggy, very buggy, and tend to crash a lot, yet get the job done. Surprisingly, the Blackberry Apps run very smooth and offer way more features than some of the native Android or iOS apps. Messaging is at its best on Blackberry. If you are a gym guy, music player on this bad boy is pretty sweet not just the audio quality but the ability to skip songs using the volume keys while lifting or running without even touching the touch screen. Camera is decent not the greatest though. And browser can handle everything you throw at it.

  • hi guys. does blackberry support emoji apps?

  • I m using blackberry Z30 for the past seven months. such a awesome phone. Really superb phone. But the price wise is so high end devices from blackberry. Once they reduce the price they may grow up.

  • Hey guys I've never have any experience using Blackberry before and I would love to know does it smooth as iphone or samsung or any other smartphones out there? I really need some review there :)

  • Just got this phone 2 weeks ago, upgraded from Z10 - go tit 2nd hand but like new. It is totally awesome - why would you buy anything else...much better than Z10

  • Mine overheats, I've brought new two new batteries and still having problems, my wifi keeps switching on and off and its really slow

  • Mine is cool even during hours of browsing

  • Yes it does

  • Very waste..... Cheap...

  • Why not?

  • good phone.value for money internet browsing excellent

  • oh really.. dude....can use play store..??

  • Can anyone pls tell me z30 will supported in android apps..

  • Hey guys, I want to ask if it's ok if we have to use whatsapp, wechat and Skype through this phone?!.. I want to purchase X30 by next month... thanx

  • Itzz very awesome phone with good clarity and itzz worth to buy, am very much happy with this phone, no need to worry we can use play store in it, for assistance you can refer youtube videos for installing play store.

  • Java??? LOL QNX based

  • Does it support all the android apps????

  • Go to settings.. Display

  • How to disable auto brightness mode?

  • Agh thats my concern!! Love my Z30!! Dare I say its almost perfect! I am anxious to see how the HUB works on Android.. maybe it works like HTC Sense does when you swipe right. Z30 is one great phone

  • Yes sir. BB's version of Vine and IG is called Whine and iGram. You can download the vine videos or pictures and videos from IG directly from those apps. Just press and hold, then save.

  • Blackberry App store has their version of Vine and Instagram called iGram and Whine. Despite the funny names, these apps are incredibly capable, and then some. For one, you can actually save the videos and pictures directly from the app into your files haha. See a vine you like? An Instagram video or pic you want to keep? Press and hold, Save. Done. As far as private messages, I dont know if you can save them. havent tried it yet

  • Hi guys, is there instagram & vines whith the latest upgrade or naa??? Alternatives at least???

  • Hi there, Wit OS 10.3.1 can it download instagram and vines???

  • i wana know can the mobile data be used normally without registration in india if yes what are the sites which i will be bound not to use will i be able to use google apps without registration or without data plan i mean to say can i use it normally as i do with android phone please suggest coz i m planning to purchse this phone soon

  • im still using my q10 and i can tell you that ever since the day i've been using bb bold in the early days...the battery was and is always too hot for normal gadget... so how bout this z30, does the battery is too hot as well?

  • Z30 amazing phone..well done BlackBerry...

  • Just got a Z30 for my new work phone and I can't say enough about it. The touchscreen, Blackberry Hub, and battery life are all exceptional. It's better than the Samsung's I have used in the past. I am also impressed by the screen size and phone sound quality. Nicely done Blackberry. If the Priv is anything like the Z30 in quality and performance, we are in for a treat.

  • Very nice phone. I used z30 camera and screen quality is ok.

  • i like z30...my gf has ...sooo cooll for selfies

  • Excellent phone, easy to use and versatile, have used one for over a year and had no issues whatsoever. Will be sticking with Blackberry again next upgrade time.

  • Yes

  • Does it supports android games ?

  • Epic device! Camera is perfect, quality of pictures, colors, everything

  • IMHO camera is decent, more than good enough for quick snapshot.

  • Plz tel me about camera of z30...

  • Indeed the BB Z30 is an awesome device! Great screen, quick (less lag than Classic which I also own), and premium design. Just bought it and for me it's a great deal, even nowadays (2 years after it was launched).

  • Ah yeah, the music player Unsupported file. That I found that it applies, say I was playing the song by Drake Hold On We're Going Home, and I close the music player. I go back later to start the music player, I hit shuffle or whatever, it will play the last song being the Drake song, and pops up UNSUPPORTED FILE, obbviously it is supported, but it will immediately start playing music, the next song on Shuffle. It is not an issue at all just can seem alarming. The song eventually plays

  • Awsm phone bro....battery back up unbelievable.

  • i want buy z30 mobile is it good

  • I have been using for the past 6 months this Blackberry Z30. Such a awesome phone ever i used. Specially BB browser never loaded while switch to 2nd or 3rd page.Speed is good. And Quality of the product and simply superb.

  • bbz30

  • my BlackBerry screen suddenly goes all patchy white and pink when u try to switch on after battery has run out , what could be the problem ?

  • had been a proud owner of z10 and then i bought z30. facebook app doesnt shows all news, twitter also has problem. Music player suddenly tells - unsupported file. have updated the latest update via otg. though it has the fastest browser and good battery, i am on the verge of shifting to motorola. Now the blackberry CEo also hinted that they may stop making mobiles. have been a BB fan big time, but disappointed lately

  • Java??? LOL QNX based

  • I will second this! The Blackberry Z30 music player sounds great with the music EQ. Not as great as Samsung GS6 but sounds just as great as iPhone music player, to be honest sounds a bit better in my opinion. Also the volume keys act as music control keys. Not just pause, but also as the PREVIOUS and NEXT buttons. All BB do this

  • Phone is perfect for audiophiles. Preset the player out of the box without difficulty plays uncut 24 bit 192 Hz FLAC and WAV files and volumes of 1.5 GB. Even for the top models on Android and it's a problem, even on flagships on WP 8.1- 10 do not even know how to paid software. While the hardware stuffing here last generation. The phone can be operated with one hand, even on the run thanks to the implemented control gestures perfectly.

  • this phone is java

  • You should understand your smartphone's functionality more than your smartphone should understand you. Pretty basic, aye? Every smartphone has its ups and downs. I know my Z30 ain't perfect. But I do concentrate on its strengths rather than its weaknesses.

  • Yeah why not? Z50? Manitoba? That’s the rumoured Z30 successor. Blackberry is not just about phone making business. Unlike Apple, take away iPhone and all of Apple's business is doomed! You can slap whatever latest and greatest specs you know and want in a smartphone but at the end of the day, you or we are not the OEM's customers wherein they based their smartphones' specs. If you can customise your own smartphone's specs and hardware and stop moaning, hey hoo, that's better. Can you?!

  • Supports 128 GB SD card.

  • Worst phone I ever owned. The screen is over-sensitive, I keep it in my handbag and even the lightest brush selects icons. The phone keeps freezing and sometimes dials the wrong number. It floods with pointless notifications like wifi access, which I need to deleted in batches. This way I accidentally deleted a message thread with my boyfriend, and now I cannot retrieve it. I only have this phone for a few months and it's already irritating me to no end.

  • For those asking, yes, the Z30 is a great phone. Sadly, Blackberry CEO Chen seems intent on killing off the mobile division with his "back to the future" ideas of physical QWERTY keyboards and oddly shaped phones like the passport. Sure, they'll get some sales, but they aren't mainstream. Years ago Samsung and others took on Blackberry with their own QWERTY offerings, but the majority of the world decided they wanted touch screen and it was pretty much all over for Blackberry and QWERTY Now Chen thinks the problem is BOS 10.x and has decided to try and grab market share with an Android offering. Perhaps BB market research will come up with a study that will tell Chen what the majority of people already know: most of the market won't pay a premium for a phone that has 2nd class specs no matter how good the OS. Now Snapdragon just came out with a kick-ass 820 which all reports say have the heating issues that came with the 810 worked out. So why not give the Blackberry community a nice successor to the Z30, but with all the bells and whistles? I'd like to see a successor with an underclocked 820 (to save on battery since BOS 10.x doesn't really need the HP), throw in 64GB internal storage and all the latest connectivity features to do wired/wireless connectivity to SmartTVs, projectors and monitors. That will get business users excited. Throw in the latest Sony camera sensor to make the phone on par with other flagships in that department. And speaking of Sony, make it waterproof too. Give it 3GB-4GB of RAM along with the Adreno 530 to give the geeks and gamers something to get excited about. Finally, make it a bit thinner, but not at the cost of the battery, so that it can be used as a real workhorse without recharging every day. Now you have a successor to the Z30 that is worthy of the premium price. If you want to make it a horse race, make two versions, one with Android and one with BOS 10.x and let the market decide which one it wants. Sadly, it won't happen as it appears that after his failed experiments, Chen wishes this mobile division headache would just go away with a whimper, rather than a bang.

  • Good

  • great phone battery life is forever...

  • I know it is located cyberzone of sm north edsa... .

  • Where can i buy blackberry z30 here in the India or Dubai?

  • You simply skip the Phone Number option...

  • Friends, Can we install Google Map (through amazon app store) and use real time navigation with GPS in BB z30?

  • Skype requires a phone number for the service and it sends a download link. Are you trying to avoid the cost by registering?

  • Thank you

  • Does the snapchat app work on bbz30 pls need urgent answer

  • Less than 300ppi. Wow this phone is aids. Garbage shit

  • I wasn't really looking for a new phone when I got my Z30 I was in bell just looking around when one of the workers ask me if want to look at one sure had some time to kill and I'm glad I did I just love it. Always said ether you love blackberry or you don't. This one has really been dependable for me I mean I remember when people talk about watching MNF on your phone. It was my playbook that got me hooked on blackberry and I wish they would put more effort into the development of my playbook.

  • so far so good .. i am using BB z30 from two months . great battery timing . smooth . updated to 10.3 .. hats off to blackberry ..

  • I really hate a android device. Nd I have do not sufficient money to go for any iPhone device.. so now 2 options for me 1. Lumia 830, 730 nd bb z30.. which 1 is better for me? Um big fan of quality sound both earphones or outdoors nd battery, life ... please ples guys suggest me .... thanks

  • Z30 Because of it's build Because of it's dual speakers Because of it's battery Because of amoled screen Because of HDMI port

  • I have both bbz30 & htc one m8.. Blackberry sounds 10 time better than htc, with earphone or without earphone

  • Posting this just after my z30 had a swim in a bucket of water. Solid phone best ever blackberry device

  • Can I say, it is long overdue now. The Blackberry Z30 is to me the perfect Blackberry. Z10 was great but now seems outdated yet still can keep up. The Classic and the Passport are excellent too and Passport seems to have the stronger specs of all, but with the Blackberry Priv, while packing awesome specs its still not a Blackberry. Blackberry Z30 needs an upgrade! The Leap in my opinion is a step down from the Blackberry Z30. I am patient and can't wait for the day Z30 has an official successor. This great phone rocks!

  • Z30 brother. It is stronger in hardware to handle the software and offers more.

  • No way to compare .. Nth comes near HTC in sound and software

  • All phones can get viruses. So far I've found BB OS10 to be helpful to show what permissions are needed by an app. There is a default setting to prevent 3rd party apps, which helps, and you can see what permissions each app asks for. It's basically best to be mindful of the apps you put on and the permission they request. A little caution goes a long way.. same with downloading software on a computer. Have a good day.

  • leap or z30 pls suggest which one is better??

  • z30 ,note3,5s which is gd choise? pls help me to take a gd decision

  • Hi,may i ask if the blackberry z30 is capable of having a virus?like android? I have the note 5 and i already installed a lot of anti virus to guard my phone.

  • This phone is actually cool and I must say since I got it i have experienced a better battery life....Anonymous this phone is no longer that expensive you can buy it with a little savings of about 70k

  • You are just using fone to distory people life the amount of this one would be enough to do other things better than fones thanks

  • The best

  • Hi Sm North Edsa,blackberry store.

  • I going to buy.... BlackBerry z30.

  • what about the internet...!!!

  • Huh? Is iPhone 6 powerful to you? I have both Z30 and iPhone 6. If you want real soundblasting with either speaker or headphones, Z30 is the way to go! With OS 10.3.2.2474 update sound is amazing with Z30.

  • A little Less powerful than iPhone 6

  • I want to buy this phone....So, i want to know about the headphone quality. How is it??..is it as good as htc or xperia??

  • It's nothing special. Not bad though. Good decent 2MP Camera. It can record at 720p HD, and can take decent selfies. Look great in the outdoor selfies. But indoor low light look a big grainy.. but again, nothing special.

  • what the guarantee getting a bb z30?

  • Where can i buy blackberry z30 here in the Philippines? I prefer physical store like malls. Thank you

  • Blackberry z30 is a very very superb fone without complain at all,

  • give me a review about blackberry front camera

  • give me a blackberry z30 front camera review pls....................pls...................

  • Got updated with 10.3.2 official launch by BlackBerry in India

  • i love blackberry for its unique track pad navigator. without the navigator i hesitate to buy the phone for there are more other phone to choose from even better

  • Nice to see that BB continues to provided updates that are backward compatible with the older handsets (Z10, Z30). If only Chen would give us an updated flagship for the Z30

  • Moto X or BlackBerry Z30

  • thn shal i buy z30,,, fr me camera is nt all imp,,,

  • Updated my Z30 to 10.3.2.2474 coming from 10.2, and it's great!

  • can we use application like dollar plus, zum plus, mean dialer application

  • I wann a use android mobile.now i want to hange it. so.pl give me suggest BB Z30 is nice????? I want to purchase BB Z30 / Redmi4i / iphone 5S. Which is good mibile???

  • I have the Z10 running 10.2 still as no updates are available for it. But my Z30 came upgraded into 10.3 and I love it! Music player now has music equalizer. Battery lasts really good, no lag, no freezing, Both z10 and z30 run very smooth in 10.2 and 10.3. By the way the Camera now can record in Slow Mo.. it isnt a big deal, but it should be noted.. the Slow Mo is not as great as the one on the iPhone haha Also more apps available on Blackberry world, and now you have Amazon App Store.. little detail about Amazon App Store. The apps inside there, AND the Amazon App Store itself are VERY laggy and buggy but get the job done. The Blackberry apps run VERY smooth its the android apps that run sluggish, obviously since they are running on a foreign OS. 10.3 has a lot to offer. It is a very good update

  • iPhone 5S and BB Z30 are very different. Both are very great phones! Camera on the iPhone is always going to be better but the Blackberry camera is actually takes pretty great pictures. iPhone has all the apps, but Blackberry has many apps maybe not all of them but it also has a ton of built in things that make it so useful. Music player on Blackberry and on iPhone both sound really great! Obviously music selection, iPhone wins. But Blackberry can sync with iTunes via Blackberry Blend/Link. And video.. both Blackberry and iPhone have really good HDMI ports. Movies/TV Shows you bought on iTunes are not playable on Blackberry or any other none-Apple device keep in mind.

  • Z30 is better even than iPhone 6 in all aspects

  • Has anyone updated the recent 10.3.2 update released? What are the updates. Please help

  • hii,does bb phones z10 &30 supports xender or share it...?

  • Start flashare on your blackberry and create a group on the other phone. then minimize the app on your blackberry and go to wifi settings. Connect to the wifi hotspot created by the other phone then go back to the flashare app and join the group created.

  • guys which one is better 5s or z30

  • i downloaded a flashare i my blackberry z10 but it does no respond when i try to receive an app from another phone,pls help

  • K.which os is you useing .. 10.2 or 10.3... am 10.2...

  • You should take it to service center , on 2g the phone stands tall for 2 days. And if you mean continuously gaming and calling gives you 8 hours than its OK. Otherwise there is a problem

  • Press both volume keys together for around 10 second and it would hard reboot

  • Just open quick menu, click on network and choose

  • very strong

  • very strong

  • Hi,dearest friends.I have to confess an important point here!!I can't see well and sometimes I make mistakes!!I will be happy to remind me!Recent I forgot to write memory slot in newly made Samsung products and I wrote wrongly SIM card slot that a friend in Google plus reminded me which basically,impossible for high-ends smartphones,not to have sim card slots or SIM cards!!!Thanks.But about this BlackBerry smartphone:According to specifications and review written in gsmArena,it must be an upper midrange smartphone with good qualities and being almost affordable too!!It design,performance,and features are satisfactory according to the opinions and surveys too!!I have to mention that my knowledge about BlackBerry is limited to information in GSM,since for some reasons,I haven't had access to any of its products and its story!!!My virtual wishlist museum is almost full of good,better and best devices now and I have to find a place for Z30 in my daydreaming virtual museum!!!Thanks a lot to gsmArena to help releasing the facts!Good luck all here!!

  • How is battery...

  • K frnd... but my mobile only 6 to 8 hours only on normal usage in 2g network... I ask service center he is told update 10.3 os and check... which is r u using... and tel the solutions pls...

  • Check at MoboMarket for android app forZ30

  • it depends on your usage pattern. If you are a professional where you have to be on constant touch with mails and other works then better go for this device. It has all the necessary apps in its native account to support. Whereas an Android is out and out device for your other needs and of course still you can use for all your professional needs. But having used both these platforms for at least a decade i can vouchsafe that Blackberry devices are robust and efficient than the androids. Presently I am using an Android Device One Plus which has great specifications to boost for its price, but unfortunately once you put in to heavy usage literally it sucks and hangs a lot. All the android devices, irrespective of its major specifications will start its down slide journey after 6 months, for sure. Battery is another issue with android. It will not stand for more than 6 hours and you must carry a power bank and the kind of real multi tasking one do with a Blackberry device is simply cant work with any Android device. In a nut shell, Android is for casual users and Blackberry is for professionals. I am planning to go back once again to Blackberry OS-Passport device( I had BB Z10 and gave it up purely because of its poor battery back up in spite of its having the best OS) as my Android is giving huge problem and its affecting my professional productivity.

  • Impossible man, I bought one week ago, and touch wood my z30 battery rocks on heavy usage like 3hr talk on both 2 and 3g, 2 to 3 hr Internet browsing on WiFi and 3g network, and 2 hr gaming. Battery last 2 days remains 18%. Don't believe on rumours. Some companies appointed the people for writing bad reviews. It is the best phone on earth even two years old but better than galaxy s6. Believe me or come to my home and see.

  • Excuse me? I don't understand.

  • No its decent and very nice.. updat it to 10.3.2.. phone is more excellent than you think.. in my view the best phone

  • Why my z30 s headset quality is bad?! Its awful... once I checked q10 s headset and I amazed but this one looks like that but the quality is awful

  • i have a blackberry z30, it was hanged, anyone can help me

  • What about camera ? I don't need to take professional pictures, but on this site when you look at "check quality" the quality of photos are really bad, even my old iPhone 4 is much, much better. P.S. The BB Z10 photos looks much better even though they have the same cameras.

  • how does one switch between 3G and 2G networks on the Z30

  • pls,hw much u put in swap in z30

  • Every official Blackberry App for BB10 runs buttery smooth since it's optimized with the BB10 OS. I did tried installing Android Apps via Amazon Apps Store. All those Android apps are crap, and they all crash even before using them. Terrible!!! Blackberry World has some worthy apps in it. Just pick the ones that suit your needs. By the way, I only use Blackberry 10 native apps on my Blackberry smartphones.

  • It can install Android apps. I used Snap in my BlackBerry Z10, it can installed and used Opera Mini 7.6, it can used Kalender Indonesia, can use and run PlayStation using ePSXe apk, and many.

  • Yes you can istall android apps via the amazon app store, 1mobile market and google play store but the last one i talked about require a little bit of work so it can accept google play services but for the rest you are goog. Enjoy it

  • There is an official kindle for Blackberry app on BB World. Very smooth

  • Yes sir. Skype is available for Blackberry. Smooth app. File sharing rocks on here vs the iPhone Skype version which restricts it

  • Depends which Android apps you need. Blackberry has many Built-In app and features and Built-for-Blackberry apps on Blackberry World that run super smooth! Then you have the android apps that come from Amazon Appstore.. I try to use them as LEAST as possible as they tend to be a bit laggy and not very smooth to be honest yet get the job done.

  • YouTube on the browser is a breeze man. You are able to comment while watching the video.. also the video plays on the background and also plays while you lock the phone with the music keys manipulating volume and play/pause. Basically you can use YouTube as a music player lol.. video is crisp and smooth, and honestly it runs much smoother than it does on the LG G4 HTC One M9 or Samsung Galaxy S6 YouTube apps or their browser. It does have a "Youtube player app built for Blackberry and also a Vine app for blackberry called WHINE which works just like Vine but with more features.. you can save videos directly from the Whine App and play them, comment, favorite, follow, DMs. Its pretty cool.

  • Hi guys, what's the story about BB & Youtube? What about vines, is Z30 able to play vines?

  • Any smartphone even with a 10000 mAh battery could only last just as much when you constantly use it... nonstop! The best advice is use your common sense. Blackberry is designed as a productivity tool and not as a toy. It doesn't have to be in your hands all the time.

  • Hi Zahra, gunayidin, the phone is heavy but feels good size. Does not feel light like Galaxy.

  • Why z30 is 170 grams?! It is really heavy in compare to others...

  • Yes sir. The music equalizer is now installed in the Blackberry Z30 and Classic. It has to be Blackberry OS 10.3 though.. most Z30s come with 10.3. Music EQ sounds very good by the way. R&B and Rock are the best option. No Customer EQ like Samsung GS6 or LG G4 though.

  • Yes... but when you update it to 10.3 or the latest official version os

  • Black Berry Z30 and i am using it but os is not user friendly but finally it is having all ultra options if you make it friend .

  • you can only use regular plans ...no black berry plans will be applicable for this

  • Buy it from amazon Or shop blackberry search it on bb ogficial website

  • No that is a very old scheme

  • do I have to buy separate internet plans according to blackberry or i can use the regular one. plz clear this before i buy this phone ...........

  • Yes it does. But you need a recent version of the os.

  • does bbz30 has fm radio?

  • Yes it is there..

  • Do you face problems or something annoying slow make a call, receive incoming calls and check balance on your BlackBerry Z10, Z30 or Leap like my Z10? I uploaded video that shows the lag

  • Help, need assistance pls i ve tried setting my desired ring tone and volume in the customized notification settings for apps under notifcation settings but its not working, dont know exactly how to make the customized notification volume and settings work.

  • Blackberry Z30 just like any other smartphone like iPhone and Android has weight and occupies space, in short its a MATTER. And yes its size is comparable to the iPhone 6 although it weighs a bit more than iP6 because we all know how Apple wants to make their smartphones as thin and light as a paper. And besides we dont use smartphones according to their weight. We use it according to their overall functionality. If we all survive using Nokia's jurassic, heavy, pre-smartphone era mobile phones.. I'm definitely sure you can survive Z30's weight. And FYI, Z30's backcover is the most comfortable I've ever held on. Its ergonomic design is second to none. Its soft touch, woven glass carbon fibre. You'll love it.

  • It is the exact same size as the HTC M9 and the iPhone 6 and easily just as heavy.

  • perfect

  • I was wondering if you really need such a huge number of apps to run your daily life? Are you using 50-100 all at the same time? Even if you are a gamer and uses a 100 apps a day, you'll literally smoke and bust your smartphone. People like you keep complaining about "lack of apps" in Blackberry. Are you a subjective or an objective user? If you are a subjective user, better stop complaining and deal with the available apps for Blackberry! And if you're an objective user just like the rest of the iPhone and Android-worshipping YouTube "tech geeks", then stop using Blackberry, as Blackberry is not for you. Blackberry is not for everyone.

  • Just a little bit heavier, but you won't stay out of juice during a hard day...Great mobile if you don't want be like most people around you...great OS!!!

  • You're welcome. Nice, tell me when you have BlackBerry Z30 and satisfy your need in communication.

  • Thanks a lot. I will go for it.

  • Anyone who has z30.. I want to know whether this phone is heavy?! Or thick?

  • Exactly I agree with you... when you focus you can see the quality is very high

  • the BlackBerry z30 is a breeze to use moreso with the updated software the only problem is the limited apps available on the amazon appstore

  • Z30

  • BlaclBerry Z30 is better, bigger screen (good for gaming), higher battery capacity and better processor and GPU.

  • love the design, and the features. this is my next phone, had a z10

  • I love my Z30's camera. The moment you snap pictures, it doesn't look interesting on the initial look. But when you start focusing and zooming in on the subject, that's where it really gets interesting. The more you zoom in, the clearer the picture gets. Has anyone noticed that about Z30's camera? The Z30's camera can snap a very good picture just like any other high end smartphones of today. You just have to learn the tweaks and the tricks really. And it's funny how these "tech geeks" love to give Blackberry some bad press. And with so many smartphones coming their way everytime, these "tech geeks" doesnt even know what they really want from what they really need.

  • Can any one suggest me to buy which mobile in BB between Z30 & Q10

  • BlackBerry is like Android, can use normal data plan reguler.

  • Does the Z30 uses BB plan or normal data plan

  • Hi, need help in downloading movie using torrents. I tried but it just not downloading on utorrents. Is there any other way? Kindly help.

  • You can hold on the song, and the menu will ask you for options on what to do. Select Delete. This can be done from the Music Player or from the File Manager

  • You open the playlist, click the bottom right of the screen, select "Edit", hit the "minus" sign on the left of the song you want to delete, click "Save".

  • Pls BB Z 30 users, how do i remove one unwanted song from the music playlist file , ve tried all options but no way, need help.

  • I recently bought the BBZ30 on Shop Blackberry website and it came with the 10.3 already installed

  • How did you update your z30 os 10.2.1 with 10.3.1

  • Guys.. Most Of The Reviews Are Based On Older Versions 10.1 OS. Now The Latest Version Is 10.3.1.1767 ( India ). Team BB Has Made Tons of Improvements. The UI is Crisp. To Enjoy 1920x1080 Resolution, A 40" Screen Is Fine. 05" Screen is to Small. The BlackBerry Blend Is A Boon For Users.. BBs OS Is Very Robust & Runs Smooth Its Security Has Always Been A Strong USP & Commands A Cult Following Across The Globe. Well, All OS Have Its Pros & Cons. But BlackBerry Is Unique

  • You can install Snap, an application that made for change Google Play Store. Search in internet 'how to install Snap in BlackBerry 10'. I use Snap, but no much install app from it, many apps are not compatible for BlackBerry 10.

  • Hey plss suggest me what to buy...Z30 or leap...? Which ll run the android apps...?

  • Best phone i eva had in my life no hanging no laging super smooth like butter android app runs very well battery backup is too good. display quality is awesome better that iphone 5s, HTC M8, galaxi S4 & Nexus 5 blackberry should open their service center in every city of india

  • For me it's something over 2 days without need to charge my Z30.

  • For Google Play on BB10 read this and follow steps in it:

  • Download "1 Mobile Market" App from Google.and Install it , then from that App You can Download Android or Windows Apps. Before Downloading Just Read the Apps Declaimer ASAP.

  • Can Flash share app be installed on BB Z 30 ?

  • can any suggest how is battery life pl.

  • friends plz tell can we download free music from free sites with 3g/2g without wifi like we download directly in android phones?i shall be very thankful.

  • Not true. Z30 has 10.3.2 as latest OS version. And yes, you can run android apps from version 10.2.1.

  • You can also sideload the snap.bar or cobalts modified Google apps that are on crackberry.com to have Google Play on your BB10 phone.

  • No, android apps run on 10.2.1 already. Just download the Amazon App Store from the amazon page. Visit this link with your phone browser: And I have my Z30 updated to 10.3.1 for few months. Over the air. If you don't have the latest OS, try sachesi.

  • if you want to run android apps you should go to Blackberry leap but if you want great hardware superb build quality and excellent display

  • os 10.3.1 is not available in z30 right now so you will have to wait for it but leap comes with 10.3.1 android apps run in 10.3.1 so if you want to run android apps you should go to Blackberry leap but if you want great hardware superb build quality and excellent display (super amoled screen) then you must buy z30

  • Z30 has better CPU and GPU and slightly better battery. Also it is a former hi-end so the build quality should be better.

  • You can go here with your phone browser to download and install amazon app store: For latest OS version use sachesi.

  • Google for sachesi and use this program for update to the latest OS version 10.3.2

  • How did you update z30 with 10.3.1 ? I just bought z30 I got 10.2.1 and amazon appstore Or any android app Required 10.3

  • os 10.3.1 has launched for blackberry z30 in india or not?

  • i am unable to update my os version i have blacberry z30 with os 10.2.1 i want to update it with 10.3.1 when i go to software update option and press "check software update it shows you have latest version.. plz help me guys how could i update my os version

  • i think leap and z30 hv got similiar specs. Go for z30

  • I have been using Z30 for the past 2 years. . Excellent phone. .good battery back up Good for excel, word and business

  • I have already a Gud phone BlackBerry z10,now I want to be upgrade my phone to z30!! Major problem I'm so confused between z30 and like new blackberry phone(leap)! Plz suggest me....z30 or leap??

  • You can use any net like other phone. Be sure.

  • Yes you should take this. You must love it. Its battery backup and features will make you to love this. The best thing of this phone is you can use data and calling simultaneously. Internet will not stop at the time of calling. So go for it .

  • if you need to go home screen you need to sweap bottom of the screen to up then you can get to home.nice os and very cool

  • It is incredibly minor. The Z10 screen is a bit more smooth than the Z30 probably feels that way only because the phone is bigger and heavier and takes getting used to. The phone is very powerful. You will like the Z30.

  • Ofcourse yes bb z30 is one of the best smartphone in gaming..... If you want to the you can check it out on YouTube.... It has andreo 320 gpu for fast gaming and a very good battery life and other good features too... Should have one..

  • Hi vick i was going to buy the z30 but got told the touch screen isnt good and getting onto the homescreen is hard work is that true

  • Hi i need some advice what is the touch screen like and going onto home screen please

  • so far so good but of late there is an audio problem caller cannot hear me where as he can. can any one suggest a remedy

  • I know NFS is available via Blackberry world.. the game runs very smooth, also if you connect it to the TV with a long HDMI cable or MiraCast, man its a lot of fun! I use my HDMI cable since its cleaner for me. Z30 is excellent for movies and games. Call of Dead: Duty Trigger 14 - Combat Game 3D is a game available but it is not exactly COD. Surprisingly BB World has a lot of games that run smooth. Have yet to try them via Amazaon App Store. The BB Z30 is designed to function for business but honestly it works great as a toy phone as well.

  • hey I'm planning to buy a bb z30. I'm coming from an xperia l with a dual core 1ghz snapdragon coupled with adreno 305 and 1gb ram. I haven't experienced a blackberry 10 os and I felt an urge in getting one. I wish to play some games like NFS or cod, surfing a lot, some writings and . not much of an emailer or professional . so is BlackBerry z30 worth buying ?? opinions expected

  • I bought the Z3o on bb Shop. It came with 10.3. The device battery LASTS for long time days even. Highly recommend it. Camera is good not great but good. I find 10.2 is smoother than 10.3 but honestly 10.3 rocks!

  • When I on my blackberryz30 a screen come for setup.. two √ marks are there and show that- These last steps will customise your device for your region and data services.. To finish setting up your device,Insert a valid micro SIM card into your device, or set up a Wi-fi connection on the next screen. THEN I INSERT A VALID 3G MICRO SIM BUT CANT OPEN.. I can't do anything.. PLS TELL ME HOW IT WORK.

  • z30 comes with 10.3.2 os or you had to update it?

  • Z30 is costly than leap

  • The Z30 is an amazing phone been using it for 6 months now and I haven't found a fault. the browser is fast and has a good interface. Battery too is very durable. the best blackberry device so far. its enjoyable. 95% rating.

  • I know after BB10.It can use any net.But before BB10 version.Because l bought a used Bold 9900 before.It cannot use BBM in my net.I think to sign up Blackberry net to use it.So I think Z30 can use any net.

  • No it doesn't. It runs all the android apps on the amazon app store.

  • Comes in white and black.

  • This is an awesome phone for email, sound quality, messaging. The new 10.3.1 upgrade made this phone much faster than before. I don't load a tons of apps on my phone. The browser is great. Loads fast. The maps are ok. The new map upgrade is supposed to make it work faster. The hardware on the phone is super durable and the build quality is excellent. Nowadays, it's the software that makes or breaks the phone. 10.3.1 is a vast improvement because it is so much more responsive. The hardware again on a z30 is world class.

  • The phone's camera is okay. Not great. Software upgrade has improved the auto focus but don't get this phone for the camera. I have a z30. it's a great phone but the camera stinks.

  • please give m 1small information in BlackBerry z30 shall be used any net pack or only BlackBerry net only please gv m that information

  • Pls is the BB Z 30 camera picture clarity that bad ?

  • I wanted to purchase new mob is that Z30 is ok. IS this mobile perfact for use. pls help me

  • This is true. Games and movies work way better on the Z30. On Passport it does not work very good neither do movies. In fact many times it will crash the games on the Passport. Passport feels way smoother though!! Z30 feels laggy a bit but still works excellent

  • I have been using this phone for 3months now. It's the best BlackBerry so far

  • For entertainment,BlackBerry Z30 is better.For business is BlackBerry Passport.Two cellphone are total difference.

  • No.. u may check the apn settings. change it to blackberry.net

  • Definitely passport is a better performing phone.

  • Is this phone better or Blackberry Passport????Any Idea???

  • BB Z30 has better specs as compaired to Leap.

  • tnx but mu focus is on th social apps like telegram,viber and etc. what about them? does it has those apps?

  • The phone "Passport" is the best blackberry phone till date. It is the highest BlackBerry spec phone till date.

  • What are the available colours for this phone?

  • Wooooo.I must buy dis phone by fire by force

  • Which one is best z30 or bb leap suggest me

  • Plz can someone tell me, what is coming with BB Z30 in Box???. I need to know before buying it...

  • The phone Z30 is the best blackberry phone till date. It is the highest BlackBerry spec phone till date. And yes acc to BlackBerry standards these specs are more than enough. This phone is strongly recommended for business upper class people, however it's affordability makes it worth using for university/college life students as well. The phone is not intended to play high quality but it can bear it to a certain extent. It supports most of the android apps but not all e.g Dubsmash. Apart from that this phone is a beast. Android phones...nah I'm not ever gonna buy one I think. The secondary camera needs plenty of light to work otherwise in normal room lighting it won't work good. Apps like Viber watsapp Skype all work fine. The updates are prompted automatically on ur screen depending on the carrier if the phone. The battery is removable.the price right now for it is right. U should buy before it's all sold out. These specs are enough to withstand at least the next 2 years so u r good to go.

  • Wow! Z30 is a very nice phone with so many qualities and android app work on it 100%

  • Plz pals, what comes with BB Z30 in Box???. I need to know before buying it...

  • Android apps work fine in Z30 with 10.3.2

  • The Z30 battery is built-in

  • Z30 has a better processor, GPU and screen resolution

  • Which model is best z3 or z30...?

  • Pls is the z30 battery an inbuilt or its removable?

  • Hi,dose it (z30)have any problem with android apps,when u use them on this cellphone?

  • yeah its work, perfect

  • Is it wattsapp compatible

  • Does the camera takes good photos front as well as rear ???

  • Does it work with viber instagram whatsapp?

  • To be true blackberry isn't an app crazy phone. It isn't the smoothest with high resolution games. You want to look at most of apps go with iOS or Android both are the same immature OSes focused on gaming. If you want you can go with Passport but it isn't focused on gaming too, blackberry are for working class who needs swift and simple things. They sure can run highly buffering and rendering games but still the phone is for productive days and nights. If only games are your focus go on with any of them. But know that all Android applications could be installed on blackberry.

  • Hi. I want to buy bbz30,but i affraid of sth, dose it have many apps like android phones??? For example telegram o viber??? In compairing bb with ios or android which one is the best in supportin apps??

  • Received 10.3.2 OTA in india

  • I even didn't check the update just popped out

  • This is an amazing phone, it is extremely under appreciated. Speed and screen size makes it competitive even now. Especially after the 10.3.1 and now 10.3.2 . Apple, Microsoft and Google equally want to destroy BlackBerry . I bought it a week ago and I am so happy with the Z30 experience

  • Check for update it should show you update found and then just update it. Download it and install would take around 20 mins.

  • Guyz plz tell me how can I update my BlackBerry z30 ?? I m afraid of checking updates in settings no updates r found... any other way to update?? tell me the process

  • Guyzz plz tell me how can I update my z30? I m afraid of checking software updates in settings... any other way to update?? Plz tell me the process..

  • No problem with the update. It's smooth easy and adds battery life . I received my Z30 about a week ago and updated it . it's awesome.

  • Passport for sure

  • Application memory is 2gb

  • Its very good. I am using it for more than a year and every thing is good. Good battery backup, good screen, good sound. But the best specification is its antenna which supports call and browsing in a single time means you can call and chat simultaneously. Go for it dear.

  • Pls somebody suggest me that witch one should I buy between z30 and Passport?

  • The camera is good. It is clear but not the best in the 8MP competition. The problem is it doesn't focuses easily for the best quality. A very little amount of noise is captured in 3 out of 10 pics. But it is awesome in rest 7 and can beat 80% of 8MP phones In market. You wud never have any problems I guarantee.

  • Please anyone tell about bbz30 camera quality and picture resolution

  • Okkk thanxx for helping me...

  • After updates to 10. 3 the volume of my z30 dwindled and so is my BlackBerry q10. RIM is yet to rectified the issue and important alerts are sometimes missed.

N sometimes my BlackBerry stuck on call screen, it's not responding, I can't do anything with it.. and can't take that call PLS HELP!

  • always charge your z30 with original charger that you receive in z30 box. however if still problem exists than replace the USB charging cable, issue will be fixed. i had same problem before.

  • The processor is good if its work , but only a OK for gaming if that's what u !ran. Rest it could handle everything smoothly. Cheers

  • Hi everyone I have ordered my Z30 and would receive it soon. It would. 10.2.1 out of the box. So should I update it to 10.3 as soon as I receive it ??? Is it completely safe and no issues would happen . I am Scared cos I am a student n it took all my savings. So anyone having any issues after the update. Or any suggestions.

  • Is it really good? I'm planning to have one. Based on the specs, i guess it's really nice. Please reply if you have experience this bbz30. I want to know how good it is.

  • the blackberry z30 is the best ever i have used. the battery life is superb

  • Please answer me.. I'm going to buy this one... Is this processor good enough to do any kind of hard work?? Or Will it stuck when i'm doing a tough work???

  • Magnificent, lower cost now with OS10.3. I trade my z10 plus galaxy A3 with z30. Android can't help me better than BlackBerry

  • I updated my Z30 recently to 10.3, but since then, my battery runs down quickly /very fast. It doesn't last long as before the update. Even if my data is off. Please help guide me to tackle this problem.

  • Dear, I didn't get you. Can you please help me out to tackle this problem.

  • u go to settings & lets the system decide

  • Hello, I'm having blackberry Z30, i just wanna know that when i'm installing apps from Amazon store applications cant install as it shows that "DONT HAVE SUFFICIENT MEMORY STORAGE" although i'm having around 7 GB of storage on my blackberry Z30, but when im installing apps from Blackberry App store then no problem applications installs easily, my question is why the memory problem is with the amazon app store only.

  • It's actually really easy to change the battery yourself, as long as your hand is steady since you need to pry open the screen from the body. I've done it many times as I was unlucky to have the dead screen problem. But once you opened the (surprisingly tight) screen from the body, it's easy. There's a tutorial on YouTube as well. So no worries about it.

  • amazon should introduce whatsapp on its store

  • amazon should introduce whatsapp on its store

  • Thank u so !much. I'll be getting !my Z30 very soon. Excited for BB 10 os

  • Z30 does have Amazon App store which you will get if you have 10.3.1 OS . If you have older OS still you can side load the Amazon app store

  • Go to the Service centre and get the OS update. Service centre charge nothing.

  • H/W wise Lumia 1520 is better. But if your want to be more productive than Z30 is there (HUB, Toast notification, Best Multitasking,Best Email Client,Android Apps,Keypad that adapts as per your typing style etc).

Thanks in advance , n I like reading long answers. :)

  • Battery is just fine. I had no problem with mine. nonremovable battery is way better choice for getting more stable battery times. Because if the system diagnose battery as a constant part or it. It's working with battery more efficient.

  • I think you're getting an Hardware issue. It seems it has nothing to do with software. Contact with your supplier for warranty agreement.

  • Its picture quality with HD Amoled 720p screen is way better than your S4 Galaxy. Warm and more efficiently deep colors.

  • If u have problem with non removable battery then you can change the battery and it's easy. Only that u have to dismantle the phone and change it then couple it.

  • it's such a wonderful update, it's impressive. They puts more features you will ever need. 10.3 is the best o.s so far. I updated my own and it's like a new phone cos it's by far better than 10.2. Thanks

  • My z30 notifies me of an OS update 10.3.1.1767.. Is it a good update? Because there are other versions of z30 update to others as well. I''m just thinking twice to update my z30 upon hearing and reading horrible news of people having bad experiences after they have updated their z30 devices. And I dont want to lose my flash. I'm happy with my z30. It's very fast with my 4G network, very fluid and responsive. Battery life lasts me 3 days. I'm not a heavy user anyway.

  • battery is high quality one, with latest update even longer lasting. if you ever need replacement take it to the service, standard warranty is 2 years. I woulnt worry too much if I would be you.

  • i hv used it now 6months is the best ever camera more clear compred z10

  • Nice phone by BB. Hope BB gives us more phone model choices. No complaints here but this model could have been a bit lighter.

  • Recently purchased Z30 with 10.2.1.2977 preinstalled. The device is showing it can be updated to 10.3.1.1767 ( Size 1.6GB). But while updating the software can be 100% downloaded but it shows fatal error while installation sometime after 99%, 44% etc. Pls help

  • dear, both are almost same features. Only screen size, model changed. Choose one of them with closing your eyes. Z10 is more stylis and Z30 is bigger with better screen(super amoled) with very good battery life than Z10.

  • Dear sender, Please go to blackberry store and replace it immediately. I am using this phone and i did not find a single problem which you have faced. Really it is a nice phone so i think your problem may be a manufacture problem. So go and enjoy it. I guaranteed you must love it

  • Can this phone play all android games?

  • The Z30 is a wonderful phone, it does all I want and more, obviously it is not a gaming machine (well not for me), but my children play all the modern games, I use it for the normal issues such as phone, BBM, email and so on, the camera is just OK but for my casual use it produces decent quality for documents, I have had it for 8 months, in my pocket or car and there is not a mark or scratch on it. I do not keep switching phones because of fads, this phone will be used by me for a few years to come!

  • Just ordered mine from Amazon. Can't wait to get it to go back to Blackberry I miss it. For 250 bucks I think its the best deal out there. I'm not the one to fork out one grand for an iphone or anything like that... All the reviews I've seen in youtube say its great. Sure lacking all those apps but it has plenty for me and again for 250 cant ask for more... plus it's 4G... I mean what more can anybody ask?

  • I second the notion

  • I am generally afraid to use any blackberry specs because they are never reliable. I need your experience please.

  • how good it is bro ?

  • Does this blackberry z30 has instagram?

  • I got my z30 few days back and have been enjoying it since then, no other phone would have been better, everything works fyn

  • i recently purchage this one, about my use, wrost phone, hanging while i open net, also turn off when call come... no bady can purchage it....

  • With the latest update it has the Amazon app store

  • BlackBerry Z30 is my newest phone and it works very well. Well worth getting, although Bluetooth file transfer between the Z30 and an Android phone I have did not work. A small quibble. It's overall great

  • Yes they do. Also Amazon apps

  • Hi frnds pls i want your advic. Is bbz30 surport android application?. And if yes any effect?..

  • Z 30 has 1.7 GHz processor 2 GB Ram, 16 GB Internal Storage and upto 64 GB micro SD Card with Wifi, Bluetooth, NFC, Hotspot, Wifi direct, Miracast DLNA, and Support the USB and USB Keyboard and mouse HDMI Output !!!

  • Does it heat up ??

  • U r ryt !!!

  • Do BB Z30 has the amazon appstore???

  • Just visit crackberry dot com Cobalt thread to understand how to run google store and play services on BB10.

  • is it a good decision to buy bb z30 now

  • i get an update for my Z30 OS 10.3.1.1767 only 95Mb

  • I don't have any problems with my Z30 running BlackBerry OS 10.3 - It runs smoothly and beautifully! I haven't had any problems regarding sharing or contacts, or anything for that matter.

  • I have had a Z30 for a month now and was a bit afraid to get it, but it was the best decision ever! It's a beautiful phone. I am a bit dissapointed that the camera is still, after 3 or 4 new phones, still 8mp. I have BlackBerry OS 10.3 installed and it is amazing. I give the software 10/10, but hardware could be better. I wouldn't trade my Z30 in for any other phone!

  • take z30.. u will enjoy a lot more

  • Hi, After 10.3.1 update, I m not able to share a contact via any mode (blue tooth, whatsapp, email etc.) after selecting a contact massage comes �this contact data can�t be shared� And also if I edit or add any info of a contact, its automatically deletes old info of the same contact from my cont data.any one can help on these issues??

  • Dear all, I'm bit confused that's why posting here and hope you guys help me for my correct decision. I'm confused to select the handset between BlackBerry Z10 100-2 and BlackBerry Z30. Would you help me to find out that which is more good handset for LTE services? Regards ! Maaz

  • Hi Packy, the only disadvantage in BB phones is that they don't have google play store and google services. That's it. But for me, these services doesn't matter. I highly recommend BB phone with BB OS 10.3+ because it has great security and amazon app store.

  • Hi jay, For me , simply google play apps are okay ! But when I switched from my nexus 4 to BB Z10 ! NOW I AM LOVING BLACKBERRY SERVICES MORE THAN GOOGLE SERVICES ! But if majority requires google services than your installation idea should be reffered mostly!

  • has anyone installed ola cabs app in blackberry 10.3 because i tried installing the apk but it doesn't run without google play services

  • I'm also going to buy TIS phone Bt I'm in a confusion on which one to buy I was trapped wit bb leap and bb z30 so nw I think bbz30 WIL be more good than leap.. Actually I'm new to blackberry so I dnt kno phone specifications so can any one tell me abt tis fone... Actually I prefer bb leap cos of its stunning security .... Tat made me more attracted to it ... Bt it does nt look tat much cool as z30 ... I like the looks of z30 ... Actually I want to kno tag why most of the people's don't like bb ... I'm really confused abt tat .... Cos tis is a business fone nd it too support sd card whereas Apple does not then wats the reason y people DNT buy bb.....

  • Hi Safee, One thing i would like to mention over here if you are able to install the Google play store on your BB phone so make sure the Google play services also working on your phone because i heard that %99 people are unable to run Google play services on their BB phones even I've was unable to do so previously, However the way i installed the program every Google services is working fine for me. The only thing i like about android phone is just their app store that's it, other wise entire android OS suck this why i have installed only the Google play store & all the play services and programs in my BB Z-30. Thanks & Regards, Jay Williams

  • I guess its not that lengthy ! Just search on google "1mobile market" go through their official website and download that alternative for google play... It has almost all the apps which are on google play !!!

  • Hi Danny, I cannot tell you over here because it's very lengthy process to install that if you want me to tell you that we have to talk on BBM video calling or talk on Skype, and if you are OK with that just reply to my massage over here with your country name and the time zone along with your Skype or BBM pin id and we will chat on this coming Saturday on 03.28.2015 according to your convenient time and I'll let you know the entire process. reply me by tomorrow if you want to do that, I'll leave my id's too after your massage. Thanks & Regards Jay Williams

  • hi every one after three monthe used bb z30 , this phone realy monister one thing not good ,the bbw is very poor comparision with apple market but email and all app and notification , every thing is very good B.R

  • Actually, the sound of the z30 is way better than LG's and Samsung, and a little better than the HTC one M7 and M8. It's louder, stereo (samsungs and lgs don't have stereo speakers). It's also way clearer and deep.

  • the sound of both bbz10 and 30 is nice but compared to htc,lg and samsung, it's not dat oustanding

  • can any one tell me about the sound system of z10 and z30 ??

  • Could you please give me the link to install Google play on BlackBerry 10 phones. Thank you so much

  • Hi. I'm on 10.3.1.1767.Only UC browser mini works flawlessly. Horatius.

  • Hi, Sir i don't know about that but my Z-30 is totally working fine with all the android apps, no Hanging, running very smooth, getting all the notifications, got every thing like no other. However on this weekend i have installed Google Play Store on my Z-30 and play store even running 10 times faster than Snap v3.0, believe it or not all the android apps in my Z-30 are running much faster than any android phone. this phone is really a beast. I love BB OS 10.3.1. Thanks & Regards, Jay Williams

  • Radio is definetly there under music app

  • no radio after sw upgrade :/

  • Shout out to jay Williams How do you do??

  • Pay no heed to anti BlackBerry trolls that come up here to bleat lies about this device... I just changed my white Q5(which I used without a single flaw for two years!!!) for a sexy white z30 three weeks ago ,this phone is like ciara;amazing yet underrated I forget to charge it most times,my colleague got an S4 and regrets why he didn't listen to me when I urged him to get this phone....the keyboard is just beyond amazing!!! I had to reduce the screen brightness, it's too bright..lol The build depicts quality... Get this device, it doesn't get to molten magma temp like android phones. Been stuck on BlackBerry since I used the curve 8520 Would get the passport when it's half its current price Go get yours!!

  • Hi All, Mr.Malik Jawad Hassan, there is a law about making applications in international market also there is a department called FCC (Federal Communication Commission). The makers of the applications they have the copyrights and also they have the authority to sell the applications, so you cannot say that they have to build their own applications with out the makers, just imagine you are able to download the original apps which are available on Google Play Store directly from BlackBerry world, and you also know that Apple operating system almost has all the applications available which are available on android so the point is if your operating system is compatible to run the android apps so why can't these app makers can make applications for bb 10.3 operating system. Check out this link below ad you have all the answers,

  • i ask why the hell bb is giving option to install android ported apps? why dont they develop thier own official apps?

  • itt was already installed with 10.3?

  • bb should develop their own official apps they shroud not give the option of android port cause/ if we were to use android apps then why the hell we are using bb? bb maintain you standard please i am using bb phones only because of their os which is entirely unique why are they losing their standard by taking android as leverage ?

  • Please can some1 tell me if they know if BlackBerry Z30 is discontinued in South Africa?????

  • Hi All, Dear BB users i am posting my comments in regards to let you guys know that on Saturday.14.2015, when i connected my BB Z-30 with my laptop via BlackBerry Link software so there was a notification to update my phone software and that update size was 109 MB, Kindly keep one thing in your mind i already updated my phone on 10.3 software when it was released Feb.19.2015 & when i did this update on last Saturday after rebooting the phone automatically it was giving me another application which is called "BlackBerry Meetings". I know only this application not has the size of 109 MB there were other things also about the phone updates but i cannot see any major changes after updating my Z-30 of this 109 MB size of the update. My other friend has BB Z-10 but he didn't get any update yet, after heard this thing from him i realize that or as per my understanding that 109 MB update was only for BB Z-30. If any of you get this small update kindly let us know no matters if you have Z-30 or any other model. Thanks & Regards Jay Williams

  • Hi All, Dear BB users, if you guys have updated your phone software on 10.3 and if you are facing the problems so what i did after upgrading my BB Z-30 on 10.3, I've upgraded all of my phone apps from BB World and the main thing i did after that i had reset my phone, i took like 15 minutes to do that and once you are done with reset you have to do or make some changes accordingly or as per your need and every thing is running for me like no other. As far as the other source apps are concerned specially android apps so after doing all the steps mentioned above the best application you can download and install form your computer is SNAP v3.0, this is the best application i suggest to all BB users which will allow you to download almost all the android apps but for installing the SNAP 3.0 on your phone you need to Google it that "How to install the SNAP on your BB Z30,10,3" depending on the model, because you can not download it directly from your phone. i hope that will help all of you. Thanks & Regards, Jay Williams

  • Apps which are downloaded from other sources not working on mobile network but workings fine on WiFi. Such as cricbuz line etc. Plz anyone help me out.

  • Yes. When I download the new upgrade then my rotation lock and other things are broken. New update is very bad. Don't download!!!

  • Hi Dear, After upgrading the phone software you need to go on BB World and check for the application update like apps in your phone you will find the BBM update on that too so just upgrade and your problem will be resolved. Thanks & Regards, Jay Williams

  • guys and gals..dont download the new software update for this unit. from the time I downloaded now I dont have sound and have missed many many important calls. When I called support I was indormed that this was a known issue but why didnt BlackBerry not advise it's customers?? I have already spent more than 4hrs trying to fix. I think im done with BlackBerry very sad..

  • I have the same problem with the Z30 keyboard since downloading 3.1. It makes bbm impossible to use. Hopefully someone has a solution. Sadly BlackBerry doesn't provide free telephone support.

  • Hi guyz where cn I find these phone I've been look'ng 4 it around voda shop in middelburg any help?

  • It should be the device itself, take it back to the service center for repair. However, u must have a receipt of purchase for verification.

  • hello friends, my blackberry Z30 restart automatically, has anyone of you facing the same problems.i purchased this set hardly two weeks back and it runs the latest software 10.3.1 ., is this a hardware issue or some problem with a new software.

  • hi all As per my experience why battery drains ? BB has its own platform so if you use android aaps and complain battery drains its normal. No Android phone last for a day so use BB for its features or change your phone go switch to android phone if you are fond of android apps. Secondly see your settings there must be any option which would sync your phone all the time when you are on with your mobile internet. coz BB is known for its battery life :) Hope it will help you. I am switching to BB from windows as i want to use this platform as its been awesome after new update.

  • I don't about yours but my Z30 can run 2 days without a single charge under medium usage. I feel the unit start getting warm (definitely not HOT) when I play Real Racing 3 with those very impressive graphics.

  • Yes my blackberry z30 still has that same problem of phone getting hot and battery getting low without using it

  • hi people i have a question what about the battery life in 10.3.1 and if you compare with 10.2 or 10.2.1 it got better or not or no changes? is this true that Android apps can damage BB devices? all of them or non or heavy apps? thanks in advance

  • Hello.... I'm BlackBerry z30 user like 4 month now... I have a little problem with my z30 after 10.3 update... -3days after 10.3 update my phone run without any problems at all -after that My BlackBerry become hotter n battery drain faster like 100%-70% in 1 hour without using the phone at all -when I charge my phone it's hard to make it charging... It's not/stop charging like my battery is fully charged... (with this sign = left of the battery icon. I want to know if someone has the same problem as me.. N how to fix the problem

  • If I send a text message, it doesn't show a delivery report. I checked the message setting, whether I will change d setting to enable me receiv delivery report if any text message I sent,but didn't see it. Please help me out.

  • Updated my Z30 to 10.3 and here are my observations and opinions. -Overall, the phone seems to run a bit faster when opening applications. The Android applications open much faster. -Deleting Blackberry Hub notification items and phone calls/SMS' is much easier. -Huge improvement in the Camera software. Before the sync between the flash and the camera taking the photo wasn't always there. Not anymore - it's perfect flash/shutter sync every time. -They've fine tuned the motion sensor in the phone. Games like Real Racing 3 are more responsive (it was good before, but is better now). -Virtual Assistant Rocks! If you have a Z10 or Z30, Open Virtual Assistant and say "Local Weather" or "Closest Restaurant"...amazing! The only problem that I've encountered is sometimes when I open Blackberry World while having a data connection showing "H+", the application will error out while loading the application icons, displaying a message that the application will now close. This hasn't happened while connected via 3g or Wi-Fi and doesn't affect any other functions/applications on the phone. The only thing I don't like is the default graphics on the lock screen. I'd like to see Blackberry have an option to use your own graphic file and the ability to adjust the opaqueness.

  • Android would be nice if it was so good

  • hay gayes I liked this phone , but really I need help to take a decision for paying this phone or iphone 6 and body having experience in twice helped thanks

  • Hi, After 10.3.1 update, I m not able to share a contact via any mode (blue tooth, whatsapp, email etc.) after selecting a contact, massage comes "this contact data can't be shared" And also if I edit or add any field of a contact, its automatically deletes old info of the same contact from my cont data. any one can help on these issues??

  • Its a amazing. This model way old and with new 10.3 it's the best phone out there. Really. I am TOTALY impressed . I have an iPhone, iPad 4 and Mac air , been using also Android since early years..so I know something about tech. Check this link out. This phone is a monster,IT has ALL and I ccannot believe Blackberry can monetize it. Check out "Siri like app" called bb assistant! Wow. Blowed a way..honestly

  • Used to love my Z30 then had auto upgrade to 10.3 OS DON'T DO IT! Nothing but problems since and Blackberry Assistant is a nightmare for Bluetooth calling

  • Best phone of 2014, z30 is the best among the best, I love it. Is my companion

  • Imagine! Z30 is the king of BlackBerry as far as "all touch screen phone" is concerned. So it's up to you, will you buy a downgraded z3 or a complete z30?

  • What is so special about UC browser, I think you guys complain too much that you missed the point, what I want to talk about is the limited 16gb internals restricted as the only space for installation. Too bad, that's my only real issue, nothing else.

  • Stop being confused, what you need is either a game console like PS4 of skip Z10 and get a Z30.

  • Go find yourself, I love my z30 more than any other. So don't come here crying like a missing child.

  • i had same problem. what i did was go to bb app world and downloaded the latest bbm upgrade. that was all i needed to do and i clould see my chats n display messages clearly.

  • This handset in 2014 collected a coveted award of being the best smartphone in the whole world. It won the prize in the presence of most talked IPhone, Nokia Lumia, Samsung,HTC, LG,Huawei and many other most famous smartphones. How do you say it is the boring smartphone

  • You may buy yourself the Blackberry Z3 since it is newer than Q5 and it has the size of the Z30 (I mean its display). But the fact is the two handset are manufactured utilizing same hardware including the inclusion of the radio. What I like about the Q5 is the availability of the qwerty keyboard and the usability of the display like the qwerty keyboard. With the release of the OS 10.3.1565 they are exatly the same

  • You should buy z10,a sexy piece

  • after updating to 10.3.1.1565 os the mobile hotsport failed to connect. Is that a new software problem or?

  • Open bbm, swipe top to bottom, scroll down until you see "action bar with keyboard", slide off, close bbm, you are done! Happy chatting!

  • Dear bbm use pls advice tha that witch should I buy between z3 and q5.i will be thankful to you for your kind information

  • How to downlodes apps from blackbarry store

  • Any can share battery backup on this phone. Bcoz m totally tired android phones battery back.

  • If u have upgraded to latest system updates, download an android apk file of UC Browser and install it. The only problem you'll face to have no navigation buttons.

  • Blackberry z30 has no Uc browser working why?

  • Bl

  • Good good production from blackberry and this might Z30 was king of all of smartphone ever and ever ,forget about game lovers ,but all BB production is all about real businesses man/woman who knows best and good device to run businesses ,nice to blackberry the MIGHT !!!

  • I have a doubt regarding not just this phone but BB10 operating system itself. Now, i am currently on android but want to migrate to BB10, but I need one feature badly. That is text wrap (or text reflow) in browser. Now I know that native BB10 browser is extremely fast and has flash etc but still I need this feature. Is there any other browser from BB app store (not android app or apk) that can do this. Does opera have native BB10 app for blackberry? Of course I can sideload opera android app but i would prefer native application.

  • i was using Samsung smart phones like s2, note 3 but now i am shifted to BB z 30. i found this phone is awesome, elite business phone, good battery back up, blackberry hub is awesome, you can make compatible with android apps, so i don't miss Samsung any more, but it is not a entertainment phone purely business phone. video quality is not good

  • please am a z30 user but it was stolling now.my questions is how can I track d phone

  • Yes, but after update. I am using

  • I had a S3 LTE in Australia - nothing but trouble, especially on reception and clarity. Just look at all the negative comments on the internet about this mobile in Australia - rubbish. So now I do have a Z30 and I am mainly business focused, that is, I am not interested in games. So where does the Z30 let you down - no where really. Best reception, clarity, battery life, excellent sound, screen is kust OK, best messaging and email service, and Skype works just fine - we dont use Viber, along with BBM - not of the others are secure. And yes the overall BBM os experience leaves my S3LTE version for dead.

  • It is good business phone for mails but for chatting application ie viber or skype video chatting is very poor.some video format r non supportive..buy htc

  • Blackberry z30 is good business phone. But other apps is not able to work good as in s3. Like viber is not supported video chat. Lots of video formates are not supportive..overall I found this phone is not worth in todays era.

  • can someone please tell me if i should buy this phone or the htc 620 dual sim????? I AM SOOO CONFUSED!!

  • Shall I use camera self timer in Z30?

  • I'm a fan of BB,but I need to know between z3 and z30 which one should I go for???...opinions needed .tnx...

  • Plus point, this very rarely crashes, unlike android or ios,battery life is out of this world, you dont need a charger.

  • it have problem to share nd buying app

  • Well i just shared this info as a BB user, i didn't mean to be like i am against Blackberry even i love BB, i am a BB Z-30 user the is just to let you know guys, as far as my source is concern i don't need to explain it to you because if you have a doubt on it so that is your problem not mine. Believe it bro i have nothing to do with your doubt its just a general information for BB users. Best Regards, Jay Williams

  • If you have managed to confirm this, what's your source? Both companies have outright denied any deal, other than they will continue to work together.

  • Guys, I've got the confirmed news that samsung is taking over entire Blackberry around the globe & deal has been done in $70.2 Billion and very soon samsung is going to announce that too. However, the BB OS10 samsung will make some new changes accordingly and will release. God Bless Blackberry. Regards, Jay Williams

  • BlackBerry z30 is a very good phone. You won't be disappointed.

  • BlackBerry Z30 email push notifications is excellent. Notifications arrive extremely fast over cellular and even 2G data networks; indeed, faster than any iOS or Android OS device. However, I have noticed that my Z30 notifications consistently arrive about 1-second slower than on my Z10...I personally have no issues with this as the Z30 is still faster than anything else on the market; except for another BlackBerry device in my case.

  • You don't need BIS to get email notifications. I have the z30 now and my email gets pushed and I have no issues. There is no extra service that you need to sign up to get email pushed to the phone. Hope this helps.

  • The game is limited on BB. You are better off with an Android phone. Seriously.

  • I agree with your assessment about the camera on the z30. The focusing is slow and the picture is not always sharp. But cameras on all phones are not great including the iPhone. camera on a phone can never be the same as a camera that has bigger sensor and better optical lenses.

  • The game is limited on BB. You are better off with an Android phone. Seriously.

  • You don't need BIS to get email notifications. I have the z30 now and my email gets pushed and I have no issues. There is no extra service that you need to sign up to get email pushed to the phone. Hope this helps.

  • February 2015 hopefully.

  • However, BlackBerry's CEO, John Chen said that the Classic is releasing in December, this has affected the release of the Update, technical acceptance of OS 10.3.1 will begin by mid-December 2014, with an official availability for previous devices by January 2015. Regards, Jay Williams

  • When will BlackBerry release official 10.3.1 for BlackBerry Z30? We have only two weeks remaining untill year finishes and no sign of a software update.

  • HI Guys, Once again a i am posting this massage in regards to the previous problem which was WIFI limited connectivity problem in BB Z-30, Finally i've found the problem with bb z30 wifi connectivity problem the only thing you need to do is just upgrade the firmware of you router by simply opening the online setting portal where you can configure the internet setting and set the password of you router, i have TP Link router and i did that so every thing working fine for me and my bb z30 connectivity working fine now even my TP Link router working really good, Kindly do so and things will work for you. Thanks & Regards, Jay Williams.
