More than 10 things to love about BlackBerry Z10

Ching M. Alano - The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines - One look at it and I was hooked. I’m talking about the lusciously sleek BlackBerry Z10 that’s one of these days’ hot picks.

But who can really resist biting into a BlackBerry? To be more specific, a BlackBerry Z10?

Hailed as the Bentley of smartphones, the all-touch BlackBerry Z10 is the first smartphone to be powered by BlackBerry 10, the reinvented and re-engineered BlackBerry platform that promises (and delivers) a whole new mobile computing experience in more ways than one (or should we say more than 10 ways).  Why, this phone was designed with you and me in mind!

Surely, there are more than 10 things to love about BlackBerry Z10. Let me name some:

1) The BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) allows you to share things with people you care about in an instant. That includes voice calling and video chat. With the Screenshare, two BlackBerry users can share screens during the video chat, so they can look at the photos together and share a laugh or two.

2) Now you can take great barkada photos. When it comes to taking pictures, BlackBerry Z10’s camera is a perfect 10. Time Shift, an awesome camera feature, lets you capture a group shot where everyone is smiling with their eyes wide open. Fret not if somebody blinked — simply zero in on the faces and backtrack until you’re able to compose the exact perfect moment.  After saving it, you can use the Picture Editor to add filters and effects, to make this barkada moment even more memorable.  

3) Got a series of photos you’d like to share? There’s the Story Maker that lets you create an HD movie from these photos, complete with effects and the soundtrack of your choice.  Really cool, this Canadian tech darling, eh?

4) The iconic qwerty keyboard lets you type faster and more accurately. BlackBerry brings this expertise to touch screen smartphones.   Not only is the BlackBerry Z10 keyboard elegant and efficient, it is also intelligent and adaptive.   As you learn more about your BlackBerry Z10, it learns the words that you often use and how you use them.

5) The BlackBerry Hub lets you manage all your conversations, whether personal or work e-mail, BBM messages, social media updates or notifications in one single place. It also enables you to peek into the BlackBerry Hub from anywhere, so you’re always just a swipe away and never too far away from what’s dear to your heart.

6) With the BlackBerry Flow, features and apps flow seamlessly so you can complete the task at hand effortlessly and efficiently.

7) The BlackBerry Balance technology elegantly separates and secures work applications and data from personal content on BlackBerry devices.

8) The new BlackBerry 10 browser is incredibly fast, setting the industry benchmark for HTML5 support on smartphones.

9) The BlackBerry Safeguard technology helps protect what’s important to you and the business you work for.

10) The BlackBerry World storefront now includes 100,000 BlackBerry 10 apps (and counting!) and one of the most exciting music and video catalogs in mobile today, with most movies coming to the store on the same day they are released on DVD. More, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Foursquare apps for BlackBerry 10 are preinstalled, and users have access to leading applications from across the globe. Other leading application providers are Disney, Cisco, Skype, and Rovio.

11) BlackBerry takes its globally popular mobile social network BBM to new heights with BBM Channels, a new social engagement platform within BBM, which allows people to connect with the businesses, brands, celebrities, and groups they are passionate about.

12) You can easily connect your BlackBerry Z10 to your LCD TV with a micro HDMI cable.  No need for extra adapters or a complicated set-up.  

13) You can look forward to enjoying more apps coming into the BlackBerry platform. Top brands and application providers are joining BlackBerry every day.

14) Let’s not forget BlackBerry Remember, a dream app that keeps you organized while you’re on the go.

15) Powered by the BlackBerry 10 platform, every feature, every gesture, and every detail of the BlackBerry Z10 is designed to keep you moving — and moving up in your personal and professional life. As BlackBerry’s big boss Thorsten Heins professes, “We breathe and live mobile. Nobody understands mobile like we do.”

What’s not to love about BlackBerry Z10?  Look and Z!
