Sorry Apple, the BlackBerry Z10 Is Hotter Than the iPhone

I've always hated BlackBerry phones. Disgracefully ugly bricks they were?until the BlackBerry Z10. The BlackBerry Z10 is hot. Truly beautiful, elegant hardware. If the OS is as nice as it seemed at CES, I will totally snatch one up. These BlackBerry Z10 vs iPhone 5 comparative renders by our friend Martin Hajek are great. Not only because they show off just how beautiful a phone RIM has built, but because they demonstrate why we should still care about BlackBerry. With hardware as lovely as this, it may still have a chance at coming back with a vengeance.

I didn't think RIM could make a white BlackBerry device look good but they did. They've managed to make it look as good as the iPhone 5. It's hard for me to say it looks better. In a way, I guess it does. The overall appearance of the device looks better but only because of what's on the screen. I'm tired of the same old iOS UI. I've seen it back when I first bought an iPod Touch and it still has the same overall look and feel.

Not a bad design at all. I like it better than the iPhone only because it is new and everyone is used to the iPhone. If they both came out at the same time, or around that, then I am sure it would be a diff story.

Yeah, that may be the most common reason people would like the BlackBerry Z10. It's different and naturally, people like something that's different.

Nothing gets hotter than an iphone 5 on LTE. This looks nice though

They do have some overheating issues....

and one thing about apple.... they are stagnant and boring right now. don't think they are fully complying with the death bed requests from Steve Jobs. I think Steve Jobs had better things planned but Time Cook didn't want to go along with them.

They are not the same since Steve left and it shows.

I think the iPhone's a bit cleaner... but they're so similar.

It's all about the OS, though.

Don't count Apple out all of a sudden. It took Samsung a few years to respond to the changing market.

The UI for BB10 is very impressive. You can check it out here: https://developer.bl...om/design/bb10/

The focus is on gestures. Everything from picking up a call or taking a peak at your notifications is done with gestures. Also, BB10 has a nifty lock screen that can be used to silence the phone and dim the screen. This is great for situations that require your phone to be off like meetings or watching a movie.

With all the improvements made to Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean) and WP7.5/8, Apple is facing some tough competition.

When I read the title, I thought the BB10 is running hotter than the iPhone 5 lol

I wonder how many accidental presses will happen.. seeing that the screen is so close to the edges

Update: on second thought, it doesn't look as bad as I thought it would be

Wow, that's impressive! I must say, that design is beautiful, I'm thoroughly impressed.

I hope BB makes a comeback, it's better for the industry, it's better for everyone.

Outwardly the phone isn't that bad looking, what I'm most interested in is the changes they have made to the OS. I absolutely despise the blackberry OS, it feels clunky and needlessly complicated. For RIM's sake BB10 and this new device need to be a welcome departure in all regards.

as long as they have some network tools on there... like wifi analyzers, throughput testing, service/application testing, etc.... I hope they will allow these.

For a 1.0 release phone and os, it sure does look impressive. The Verge's review said the os wasn't bad, took only a few minutes to figure out, and felt natural.

They said that it didn't blow away any phone, but was up there with the best. Poor battery performance thou. That could be an os issue, or a test model.

Either way, hope they do good, really good. It will make Microsoft, Google and Apple hopefully take action.

I'm currently using the Z10 and it's just awesome and sleek for a version 1.0 phone pple at work are always at my desk playing with it... the keyboard is by far the best feature on here... I'm able to navigate the entre phone with just my thumb... I can post pictures or screen shots of anything you guys wanna see

    • The blatant anti-competitive nature of the EU's DMA rules are obscenely IRONIC and wholly damaging to upwards innovations from within the EU. Why?! Because it penalizes marketplace competitors whom the users CHOOSE to sign contracts with (basically dictating the product management models and strategies whilst handicapping popular marketplace choices) all under the guise of 'fair competition' and assuring continued operations. The only beneficiary (as the DMA is written and applied) are the toxic wannabes with whom most consumers have chosen to NOT do business with! What kind of bass-ackwards nonsense is that?! Not everyone in the marketplace that's lower-ranked deserves some sort of advantage whilst being otherwise garbage and toxic. Ugh, so dumb.
    • Assetto Corsa Competizione, House Flipper 2, and more join Xbox Free Play Days by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There is a brand-new Free Play Days offer available to Xbox players, giving them a chance to try out a new selection of games over the weekend. Microsoft's latest promotion brings in three games for Xbox players to try out, and they are House Flipper 2, Blades of Fire, and Assetto Corsa Competizione. Unlike in recent weeks, no games from this selection are being offered without a Game Pass subscription this time. This means only Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and Essential members can jump into the three titles, even if they are single-player. From the trio, House Flipper 2 is for simulation fans. The title lets you buy run-down properties, renovate them, and sell them for a profit. A sandbox mode even lets you build houses from scratch too. Next, Blades of Fire lands as a fantasy adventure that combines metroidvania exploration with punishing combat. One unique aspect is that instead of finding loot, you'll be physically forging your own weapons. Lastly, we go back to simulators with Assetto Corsa Competizione, with the hit racing title offering a hardcore, highly competitive racing game focused entirely on GT3 and GT4 class cars. Everything from the tracks and tire physics to the dynamic weather conditions are focused on giving players an authentic driving experience. Here are the announced games and the platforms they are available to play on: House Flipper 2 (Xbox Series X|S) Blades of Fire (Xbox Series X|S) Assetto Corsa Competizione (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) To easily find the titles on Xbox consoles, first head to the Store, and then in the sidebar, find the Home section. In there, open the Subscriptions tab. All the games from the Free Play Days collection will show up in this section for quick access. This week's Free Play Days promotions will end on Sunday, June 28, at 11:59 pm PT.
    • Just what I wanted, an even bigger bomb in my Chinese spy phone.
    • Be sure to toss in a couple tacos to sweeten the deal, no one else sells better bridges!
    • Online didn't launch until October of 2013. So no one could play it. Even then there were issues.
