Was looking for a qwerty phone with a touch screen and this and the q10 were the only ones I could find. The handset itself looks really good,the shiny red cover makes it really slick. I like the screen size and the keyboard, and they are just on the edge for practicality as your thumb is able to reach the whole of front, but sometimes awkwardly. The keys feel nice and easy to work with, but some characters you must use both hands to type. Side slot for micro-sim and memory card. Media buttons on the side, press once for volume, hold to skip songs, which is convenient. My only gripe with the design is the fact that you can't take the battery off, fact I overlooked before I bought it, but it makes me a bit worried now. We shall wait and see how's te battery is going to perform... Good RAM (2GB) and good internal memory (8GB). I like the graphics and the display, the camera is decent (both front and back) and videos come out ok. The way you swipe the screens up and down, left and right to minimize them and other functions, is very instinctive, and I found it easy and smooth to use. In terms of processing,I have it for less than a week and it did got stuck a couple of times, specially when downloading something, but nothing that a lock/ unlock screen wouldn't fix. Nonetheless that doesn't look very promising as it is only my first week with the phone. Overall, I really like the phone, is everything I wanted and I can't stress enough how good I think it looks. It does what Blackberry does best, it is a business oriented device, with a modern and updated look from the previous devices.The only problem with Blackberries is the fact that they have no apps. Apart from your Facebook,WhatsApp and Twitter, there are a lot of popular apps that are not available to the device, such as kindle, spotify, trainline or iPlayer. Still, is an unique handset in the market, and it might be one of the last of this kind. Cheaper than the similar Blackberry Q10, and you won't be compromising a lot but a little processing speed and camera resolution. In my opinion, a great buy.Read full review
