A Review: The New BlackBerry Z10

Written by on

It is quite exciting to know that while many are going gaga over the rising market competition between Android and IOS smartphone devices, BlackBerry has aimed not be left behind as they introduced The New BlackBerry Z10 in March earlier this year. I was privileged enough to test the unit for a couple of weeks, then create a review thereafter. I was extra thrilled because I knew that BB Z10 leads the  new generation of BlackBerry devices. As BlackBerry’s first full touchscreen smartphone, it was indeed interesting to experience the new features the BBZ10 has to offer.  Unlike the traditional BlackBerry phones, it has no keys or buttons that you can use for navigation. It is stylishly slim that has straight edges and rounded corners. (It even sometimes reminds people of the Iphone 5!) The screen size may not be that big but it’s big enough to surf the internet, […]

A Review: BlackBerry Bold 9900

Written by on

For the longest time, I have been meaning to try using a BlackBerry phone. My hubby has one, but it gives me limited accessibility since it was issued by their company, and they apparently  blocked  (***sad face**) some Apps for work reasons. So you can imagine how ecstatic I was when a co-blogger asked me if I can test the BlackBerry Bold 9900 for two weeks and do a review after. Of course I said YES! So here it goes: GREAT KEYBOARD FOR SENDING AND RECEIVING MESSAGES/EMAILS FAST The most notable experience of using the BlackBerry Bold 9900 is the keyboard. It gives me the ease and comfort of sending/receiving messages and emails fast. Even my husband who is a BlackBerry user for years can attest to this since they incorporated company email (Outlook) with the phone as the company’s form of communication every working hour, all week. Email and […]
