I received my Z10 yesterday and like it alot so far.
That said, got an email late last night from someone who did not hold back on his experience with it.
See below for his comments and let me know your thoughts...
Not sure if the hardware or software is responsible (maybe both).
Nothing but problems with this phone. Battery dead after 5 hours of just receiving emails and a handful of texts. Phone stays connected to charger more than it is used.
Phone will freeze and reboot 1-2 times per day.
Sometimes screen will lock in horizontal mode for long periods of time no matter how aggressively or carefully I attempt to bring it back in proper rotation.
Verizon will not release the latest BB update.
Email icons are gone. You must use the hub. Why not offer both options (Text msg still has an icon. But not email - come on). Takes a minimum of 2 swipes and 2 taps to see a new email (due to its forced integration into hub) - very silly design.
Tone/LED/Vibration is set universally for all email messages, can no longer customize notifications if you have multiple accounts - why?
No ability to "hide" email account(s) from hub.
BB way behind the curve in attempt to copy Android, and it appears they released this when it was only 80% done.
Waited for this phone for a year, wanted to like it, but too many problems. Should have waited and done it right. Maybe the Q10 works properly, but won't take that chance. returned phone and went back to my curve until I can decide on a device that doesn't have one foot in the grave.
Been a BB user for 8 years, now being forced to Android due to drastic changes of the OS, lack of customization, and strange issues. RIM may be completely out of business in a couple years if this is their answer to Android's market dominance. Sad.
