Pre-2007, “BlackBerry” was practically
synonymous with “smartphone.” Then the iPhone
came along ... then Android came along ... and
eventually “Blackberry” became synonymous
with an inability to adapt. Now, in 2013, the
Company is finally doing something new. Does its
first serious multitouch handset, the BlackBerry
Z10, have what it takes to take on the iPhone 5?
Let’s see how their specs – and harder-to-define
intangibles – compare.

* Size
The Z10 may resemble the iPhone 5 more than
any other non-Apple handset. BlackBerry’s
phone is a bit larger, though, in every
dimension. Its height and width differences are
negligible, but the Z10 is 18 percent thicker.

* Weight
The Z10 is also much heavier than the iPhone 5.
But as the iPhone 5 is still one of the lightest
phones around, the BlackBerry isn’t
uncommonly heavy.

* Display
The BlackBerry Z10’s display is slightly larger,
and packs more pixels. You could argue that
anything over about 330 pixels per inch (PPI) is
overkill, but an ultra-close examination of the
Z10 would, nonetheless, reveal a sharper
display.

* Processor
On paper, both CPUs look similar. The Z10’s
chip is similar (or identical?) to the Snapdragon
processors in the Lumia 920, Motorola Razr HD,
and HTC One X. It should pack plenty of punch
for anything available in BlackBerry World.

* RAM
The Z10 has the edge in Random-access Memory
(RAM), with 2 GB next to the iPhone’s 1 GB.

* Storage
While Apple sells the iPhone 5 in multiple
storage models, BlackBerry only sells the Z10 in
one 16 GB flavor. Unlike the iPhone, though, you
can add (up to) 32 GB more with a microSD
card.

* Wireless
Both phones ride speedy LTE networks, both
handsets also support HSPA+ (faster than 3G,
but not LTE) and 3G networks.

* Cameras
Both phones sport 8-megapixel rear shooters,
while the Z10 has a higher-resolution 2 MP front
camera.
The Z10’s BlackBerry 10 camera app also has a
cool feature called Time Shift, which snaps still
frames before and after you snap your pic. You
can then scroll back and forward in the timeline
to find the perfect shot.

* Battery
The Z10 continues to look good on paper. Its
battery is higher-capacity than the iPhone's.
Unlike Apple's, it's also removable: great for
business customers on the go. Just remember
that many other factors determine actual battery
life.

* Intangibles
If BlackBerry 10 wasn’t so late to the party, it
could potentially serve as a serious rival to
Android and iOS. But, like Windows Phone, it’s
likely destined to a fate of distant third or fourth
place. Customers love quality, but timing is
important too. BB10 took too damn long.
Still, BlackBerry 10 isn’t without its perks. Its
keyboard may be the most innovative virtual
QWERTY since Swype and SwiftKey. Like
SwiftKey, it thrives on prediction, but here the
tiny suggestions float on the keyboard. If you see
your word, swipe up to select. It makes Apple’s
unchanged-since-2007 keyboard look
antiquated.
Mobile devices, though, are nothing without
apps. Here there’s no contest: the iOS App Store
beats BlackBerry World – in both quality and
quantity – by a colossal margin. In time, BBW
can grow, but early adopters will feel like they
travelled back in time to the earliest days of the
App Store or Android Market.

* Wrap-up
Looking at specs alone, the BlackBerry Z10 more
than holds its own against the iPhone 5. But
you’d be foolish to start and finish with specs.
It comes down to your overall experience. Both
platforms have their perks. If they launched
simultaneously, it would be a tough decision. As
it stands, though, the App Store’s maturity may
outweigh BB10’s keyboard, BlackBerry Hub or
BlackBerry Flow.
We don’t, however, pretend to have a one-size-
fits-all answer. A mobile market that stretches
beyond iOS and Android is good for everyone. If
you fall in love with BlackBerry 10 and the Z10,
don’t hesitate. At the very least, you’re showing
your appreciation for a company that – on its
deathbed – rose to its feet for another fight.

iPhone 5 all the way. Upgrading soon. Tumajay and SunTemi watch out!

Its going to be a tough fight for Blackberry to be successful but I hope they make it. The Z10 looks to be a promising device, matching the competition with its specs.

BB Z10 all the way jhoor!!

Oya 9ja gals BB 10 is here, dis one u wld av 2 open ur legs wide 4 one week b4 dos guys wld get u one

The iphone only has its (somewhat) ease of use and apps going for it but for me the Z10 rocks icebergs men!

Not sure where the OP cribbed this from, but it's very amateurish and clearly done by someone who doesn't know much about tech. A few areas I need to clarify


CPU/GPU
How the heck can CPUs 'look identical'? The Z10's processor is the same S4 that came in the One X and Galaxy S 3 of mid 2012. This is to say, it's outclassed by the CPU of the iPhone 5. When it comes to the GPU part of the story, there's no contest.

Camera
As for Cameras, early reviews make it clear that the Z10's Camera is nowhere in the same league with the likes of the S3, Note II, iPhone 5 and the Lumia 920. It's just...decent. The iPhone 5 is still at the top of the pile where mobile cameras are concerned.


Screen
Z1o has a higher screen resolution and a better pixel density. Brightness pales in comparison with the iPhone 5, though, and viewing angles aren't as good (slight yellowish tinge at extreme viewing angles)

Battery
The reviews are in...and the Z10 has a disappointing battery life. You'll barely make it through a day with heavy to normal use

...BLACK BERRY OR BLUBBERY WHATEVER 10 OR 111 IS ALL WHACK ..I THROWN AWAY THOSE BB NONSENSE TO THE THRASH BIN... GS3 ALL THE WAY ...NO COMPARISON
