Blackberry Q10 v I Phone 5

[Karl102]

Ok, I know there is a new I phone due out very soon, but I have a choice between these two. I have a I phone 4s and like it. I also had a look at the bb q10 the other day and liked it. Does anybody have one? Or should I stick with Apple....

From what I have heard - Apple maintains its lead because IOS is still slicker than the competition. I have the 4s and it is a great phone. The 5 is allegedly a little fragile. very personal choice - but everyone that I know whom has gone away from Apple has been disappointed.

I am a hardcore BB user and not a big Apple fan (HID uses it). i would normally suggest BB, but BB as a company is struggling, so may be better off with iP5 - or wait for iP5s or iP6 later this year. Also check Samsung/Android phones.

Finally it also depends on what you use it for i.e. company phone or personal.

I'd stick with the 4s & get your monthly bill reduced

Blackberrys for me are overly complicated (call me thick if you want :thup. Too many unnecessary options that aren't really required that you constantly find yourself wading through just to do something simple.

Id stick with the iPhone Karl, much slicker.

I have an iPhone 4, I'm waiting to see what Apple brings out, alledgedly this month, before I upgrade, which will be the new Apple, or Galaxy S4 or HTC1. Cackberry doesn't even come into the equation, I have one as my work phone and hate it.

That said, as a work phone for getting emails and talking to people it is ideal, but as a personal phone I rather set it on fire and put it out with an axe.

Pretty much how I feel about mine. I have one via work and Theres not a day goes by where I don't feel like launching it out of the window.

I have a BB via work and absolutely luv the Qwerty keyboard. I use it for mail, txt, twitter, Facebook & phone and for that, having a full qwerty keyboard is a treat. Not sure of using a screen based keyboard yet. Having said that, trying to use the BB for web browsing is an absolute dog. The native browser is from the dark ages, hence have Opera Mini which is a treat. Also, not much apps coming out on BB.

Finally, most work BBs use older version of the BB OS, which are all primitive. Mine was on OS 5, till it 'upgraded' to OS7. However the Q10 runs the new BB10 OS, which is way better than what most people are used to..
