Itâs the part where I say that the Q10 is trying to be the best of a dead and irrelevant breed, while the Z10 does little to make up the massive amount of ground that BlackBerry has lost to the iPhones, the Galaxy S4s, and the Ones of the world. (Arguably, thatâs because no one else is really trying to make a good portrait QWERTY phone, but thatâs another matter entirely.)Īnd like I said, I feel like weâve been here before, because this is the part of the review where I tell you that the smartphone landscape has changed, that no one actually wants portrait QWERTY anymore, that full-touch is the only way to go. Make no mistake, this is BlackBerryâs bread and butterâno one can lay a more authentic claim to the portrait QWERTY form factor than these guys can. Of course, itâs not actually called the Bold this time around, but the Q10 is the spiritual successor to BlackBerryâs flagship line of portrait QWERTY phones. ![]() And so it is again: When the full-touch Z10 started hitting retail earlier this year to mediocre reviews, you couldnât help but think, âThis isnât BlackBerryâs wheelhouse. ![]() In any discussion about BlackBerry, âThe Bold is the one you really wantâ is a line you couldâve used at practically any point in the last five years.
