I'm a High School tennis coach and a USTA tournament umpire, and spend 10/12 hrs outside, in the sun (usually) at one time. I realized yesterday that I could actually see my phone....outside, in the sun!!!
On my GS3, with the screen brightness set to 100%, I had to shield the phone to see it. And even then it was tough. The Z10, screen at about 50% I could see perfectly. No shielding required. HUGE plus for me!!!!
I was talking to a player ( a 17y/o, probably) and noticed a torch in her hand. I said "alright, a BB girl". She said "yeah, I hate it". Of course, I took that opportunity to show her my Z10. Her next question was "why would I get this over an iPhone".... I showed her the browser, keyboard, the hub and how you can peek at things in the hub, and reply to stuff from the hub w/out going to the program. She was blown away. She said "this is too cool, all my social stuff in one place" I told her "you owe it to yourself to give it a shot. Use it for 14 days. Return it on the 15th day if you don't like it"
I think she'll at least give it a go.
I've said before, the Z10 & BB10 will be a hit with socially connected kids if sales people would actually show them how it works. My 18 & 22 y/o daughters will be looking at the Z10 when their upgrades roll around...
