If you have followed my adventure with BlackBerry, began more than a year ago. All the while, summarized in one of the entries – a few months from BlackBerry – Boredom as a Polish film, nothing happens. Today sustains these words a child playing with a new BlackBerry Z10.
word of introduction
was supposed to be a revolution, and it is not – we have a large, clear screen (like BB), which is a convenient application support and more opportunities for running games. We do not have a physical keyboard, which has been an integral part of every model of BlackBerry, but it is sensational on-screen keyboard.
As a model, we described it to you now on the occasion of its release. I will repeat only the words of Konrad, that is the best direction that could take your BlackBerry, is not it too late, it will no longer market, loyal fans and potential new users.
service applications running in the background
reading from the beginning of the year all the reviews and opinions after first contact with this model, one could get the impression that the service system of open applications and a considerable deficiency was associated with some terrible habits change. None of the buttons and operation only by gestures turned out to be a real problem in many opinions about it. Ok granted, the first touch and attempt to close or minimize the program it was not very intuitive to me, but after a few tries and gain a kind of “manners” to use a gesture meant I stopped to see any problem with this bound, and I began to praise it solution.
Until now, whether in the BlackBerry 9790 and the HTC Desire S, which I use interchangeably, flicked through the open windows to the memory home button or just close my key back. I went back to them later holding down home button, but landed there any applications running in the background, most recently running or recently closed. Finding where the application of recently opened items to a miracle as a result of running the Easy them again, looking, for example, recently browsed contents.
BlackBerry solved it in a different way. Do not close the program immediately, but minimize in the form in which they stopped using it, it is only in this window we decide whether we want to return to it, or close it permanently. We minimize flick them from the bottom up. In case of more “programs (Facebook and Forsquare, where we have a long list of messages) as soon minimize the short notification by going to the crowded semi-circle motion on the side of the bottom screen. The third gesture is used in applications that move your finger up and down to display the additional options.
Yes minimized programs we have available if additional desktop visible on the screen just to the left of the first panel. However, the truth is the first desktop notification system – HUB. We can go to it by scrolling panels or the aforementioned gesture at any time, even when using the full screen of any application or game.
Hub
She
bookmark Hub brings all the messages from all accounts added, and further can view it split into account available Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, notifications of Forsquare or recent calls. The ideal solution, allowing quick access to the latest news, as we are only on the mobile device, but there is still limping update entries towards the terminal. If you activate the phone as read, the e-mail, this is reflected in the desktop version – on the other side it takes a very long time. Similar is the situation with notifications from Facebook.
screen keyboard
move on to the next news, the onscreen keyboard. Here again we service gesture, also useful, as in the case of minimizing the application. Writing the word shown in the proposals in different parts of the keyboard, the rapid upward movement of a finger inserted in the place of the selected word into the application window. However, a quick sideways movement removes the word. Simply enter text is very convenient and fast, I did not find the weak points in this topic, maybe one. Writing in capital letters or small does not alter the size of the keyboard, only to signal that this mode is highlighted in blue up arrow.
native applications
Native applications are made just nice and clear. Large and clear signs to the pleasing to the eye font and artwork make use of them with great pleasure.
Applications from BlackBerry World
What about other applications? Still poor … Unfortunately, virtually everything that was available in BB OS7 (well apart from Angry Birds) and there is only prettier and more comfortable to use setting. Still no use Facebook pages, Dropbox integrated only into the native file manager, and the native Evernote notebook – Remember.
only legitimate, so to speak, applications with full support, ie one that I know of, for example, with Android, it Forsquare and Twitter, but it was already in the OS 7
shop, as was empty, so there still will not experience anything interesting. A finding something in a search engine (still no regular candidates) is almost impossible. In the same proposals in the main you can see exactly what we can count on. Here, however, situations may fix update for Android 4.2.2 SDK, which is encouraging and gives hope for wider offer in the future in the BlackBerry World.
browser and e-mail
to no longer be quite so critical when it comes to applications. Great performance of the native browser and email application. I remember the BB 9790 issue tiring page load, it often took a long time, and we watched the screen revealing the contents from the grid immediately unloaded elements and content. Here, it works quickly and efficiently, we display all the items at once.
Similar is the situation with e-mail messages. Large, clear content and easy access to the menu options, such as sending or forwarding the answer is clearly to improve the usability advantages of this application compared to its predecessor, the OS7.
Photos and Videos
camera is another thing that speaks for this phone and the system. It is fast with no flickering, hanging picture. Photos and recording videos without any delay. The picture is clear and sharp, even at fast-changing position of the phone.
Battery
If someone would have asked about the battery, to mention only, so to speak – withstands the evening, but who asked today about the battery? :)
Summary
summary, lived to the revolution of the BlackBerry, both in terms of performance of the device and the system itself BB OS10. We are convenient to operate the phone, interesting system solutions, such as the Hub or service programs in the background and a sensational onscreen keyboard. Where it will take a new BlackBerry? It’s hard to judge now, especially in the context of waiting for Q10, which is a physical keyboard back. Here we can see a certain lack of consistency. It seems that the model Z10, BB wants to attract and retain new users, using up to now with iOS, Android and WP, ??and Q10 to be calming the existing fans je?ynki. Time will tell how the market will react this plan and the users themselves.
