As you can see from the chart above, the BlackBerry Z10 and BlackBerry Q10 are almost identical when it comes to specs. wever, I found the Q10 offered a better quality screen that also provided more impressive viewing angles. This is due to the Z10’s lesser quality LCD Disply that only pumps out a resolution of 1280 x 768 pixels, while the Q10’s S-AMOLED 720p screen flourishes above.
 In the end, I came to the conclusion that the handset that appeals to the larger majority of smartphone customers is the Z10. This device represents what people are accustomed to in the year 2013, while the Q10 appeals to a shrinking customer base that prefers a physical keypad over a virtual one.

Q10 vs. Z10 is a highly personal choice. As you pointed out in the specs the basic internals are identical. It comes down to full touch screen vs. physical keyboard. For a traditionalist like me it's the Q10 FTW. But then I cut my teeth on BlackBerrys all the way back to the 7230 model. BlackBerry's outstanding physical keyboard is ingrained in my DNA by now. I've also used Android phones and an iPhone so I'm no stranger to the full touch screen, and I even got used to the on-screen keyboards with that form factor. But the Q10 for me has just enough of a screen that I don't miss the full size screen too much, and it's more than compensated for by the keyboard I love so much. 
The best choice is to have them both! But if you must pick one, best to go to a store and try them both out for as long as the sales reps will tolerate you.

    The N80's certainly been durable enough for me and I use it as my sole music player, but then music's not my main priority .. although that is what I use the phone for most. Well, listening to podcasts more than music, really.
    I got the impression that dronez was primarely looking for a music player, though which is why I think the N91 would be better: I believe it has better quality sound but most important, it has at least double the space.

  • Which phone is the best.

    Hi everybody,
    Which phone is the best for ,mainly, web surfing.
    Thank for your comments.

    patc, E6x devices have QVGA screen, the same as if you rotate an N95, what are you talking about?
    True, but when you rotate the N95 you then have the keyboard at the side which is - at best - a complete pain. Also, having a QWERTY keyboard is a distinct advantage if you're going to be doing any typing - which I certainly tend to do when on t'interweb, eg: entering URLs, yakking on here etc.
    If, as the original post stated, web surfing is your primary concern, one of these E-series definitely beats any N-series hands down.
    Of course, now it turns out that a camera is also important, I'd agree with the suggestions above of the N96 closely followed by either the N95 8GB or the N82 (depending on your slider / candy bar preferences).

  • Which phone has the best internet? 5730 or 5800?

    I've been offered each phone, but i'm not very clued up with phone specs. I mainly want my phone to have a good internet access, as I will be needed it for message boards and checking up on my webpage.
    These are the specs for each:
    5730 or 5800

    Also one more thing i forgot to mention is the Screen display and size , 5800 has 3.2inch high resolution display whereas 5730 has 2.4 inch display for internet buffs like u it would be pleasant if u have a better large wide screen size to view web pages
    here is the link from which u can compare 5730 with 5800 u have got the specs of both this gives a handy comparison of display,size and all other statistics

  • Which generation is the best choice for me?

    5th generation or 7th generation?
    If i very like the click weel, but the 7th generation i also very like?
    The 5th gen have camcorder and clickweel, and generally very familiar for me and cool (I had 2nd generation before).
    The 7th also is very cool, it have touch screen, it's new and handy...
    Please help me choose.
    Thanks in advance
    P.S. Sorry for my bad English...

    The video camera on the 5th gen isn't that great, and where will you find one now? Go with the 7th gen., at least you will get warranty, EarPods, better charger, more colours. I've tried the 7th gen, and it is a lot easier to use than the 5th gen.

  • Must-know BlackBerry Z10 and BlackBerry 10 tips and tricks

    Check out the following must-know BlackBerry Z10 and BlackBerry 10 tips and tricks to get the most out of your new BlackBerry 10 smartphone.
    1) BlackBerry 10's Built-In Screen Shot Feature
    Capturing a screen shot on a BlackBerry 10 device is simple. Just hold both the volume up and volume down keys simultaneously for a couple of seconds until you hear a shutter sound. Screen shots are saved to your BlackBerry 10 camera gallery.
    2) Volume Up/Down Keys as Media Controls
    You can use your BlackBerry 10 device's volume up and volume down keys to skip through songs in your music librery. To enable this feature, open your BlackBerry 10 Settings by dragging down from the top of your display while on your Active Frames screen or a home screen panel. Choose Settings from the dropdown menu and click System Volume. On the following page, slide the Music Shortcuts button to the On position.
    3) Volume Up/Down Keys and the BlackBerry 10 Camera
    You simply tap your BlackBerry Z10's display with the camera or video camera open to snap an image or start recording a video clip. But it's sometimes easier to use the volume keys. Just tap the volume up or volume down keys with the camera open to snap and image. And you can also use these keys to start and stop video capture when your camera's video mode is enabled.
    4) Instantly Launch Voice Control
    The BlackBerry Z10 can initiate lots of different actions based on voice commands thanks to its Voice Control app. And you can instantly launch Voice Control by holding your device's mute key for a couple of seconds.
    5) Launch BlackBerry Camera from Lock Screen
    BlackBerry 10 lets you quickly launch your camera application from its lock screen, a feature that can be valuable when you want to take spur-of-the-moment shots. A camera icon appears in the bottom-right corner of the locked display screen, and you can hold it for a couple of seconds to launch the camera app.
    6) Advanced BlackBerry Hub Inbox Controls
    The BlackBerry Hub is the central inbox for all of you various BlackBerry 10 application notifications and messages. You can access basic Hub controls by clicking the Menu key at the bottom right of your Hub screen. (The Menu key looks like three dots stacked on top of each other.) But you can also access some advanced BlackBerry Hub controls from the date bars that appear in the inbox stream at the start of each new day.
    Just hold a finger on a date bar to bring up controls that let you skip to the start of the past day, the start of the next day, jump to the top of the BlackBerry Hub, jump to the bottom of your BlackBerry Hub or mark all prior messages as read.
    7) Speedy BlackBerry 10 Navigation
    The BlackBerry 10 OS can be broken down into three main components: The BlackBerry Hub; the Active Frames screen; and your application panels. You can do navigation through these components using a basic set of swipes and gestures. But you can also use the tiny slider tray that appears at the bottom of the Active Frames screen and all of your home panels. Just tap a specific panel in the slide to navigate directly to that panel without scrolling. Touch the Active Frames square, which is composed of four smaller squares, to jump directly to your active apps page. Or tap the Hub button, which looks like three horizontal lines on top of each other, to navigate right to the Hub.
    8) See Your Battery Life Status as a Percentage
    The BlackBerry 10 OS does not currently allow you to set your battery-status indicator to show a specific percentage, only a battery icon. But you can check your device's hardware settings for a more specific battery status. Just open your device's Settings by sliding down from the top of your Active Frames or application-panel screen and choose Settings from the dropdown menu. Then click About. On the following screen, change the Category menu from General to Hardware. You'll see a battery percentage listed in the Hardware information.
    9) BlackBerry 10 Boot Status as a Percentage
    Whenever you restart or power up your BlackBerry 10 devices, a BlackBerry logo appears with a status bar that encircles it. The status bar shows you start-up progress, but you can also view that progress as a percentage number. Just hold your finger anywhere on the BlackBerry logo and a progress percentage appears.
    10) BlackBerry Z10 Keyboard Tips, Tricks and Shortcuts
    You can type special characters using the BlackBerry 10 virtual keyboard by holding your finger on top of a letter with associated special characters (e, a, i, o, u, y, etc.), and then sliding your finger over to the character of your choice.
    Quickly sliding your finger downward from the top of your keyboard to its bottom cycles through the number and character screens so you don't have to tap the number/character screens button, which can slow down typing.
    And you can delete an entire word instead of just individual letters by swiping leftward from the backspace key toward the center of your keyboard.

  • Which one of these phones has the best battery lif...

    I am going to get a Nokia phone from "O2" store tomorrow. I will either get the Nokia 2700, Nokia 5130 or the Nokia 3120.
    The dying Nokia that I am replacing I have had since 2005 and the battery usually lasted over a week between charges. The phone was an inexpensive one, €60 or something. I expect this kind of performance in my new phone.
    Which of these phones have the best battery life?

    I would vote for 5130 XpressMusic. 5130 and 2700 are on par in terms of battery life. Feature-wise, the former is a tad better. But, it's all about your preference, and the cost.

  • I am considering getting an iphone...  Which model is the best for me to get?

    I am considering getting an iphone... I do not care about getting the "latest gadget", but have all apple products and would love the convenience of the calendar, music, camera, etc... on my phone. Which model is the best for me to get?
    Is it really worth it for the newest (and most expensive) model, or is the 3G sufficient for regular use? or is the 4 now the most basic model I should invest in? or do I really have to get the 4S?

  • Which battery was the best for endurance for Satellite A100-999

    Hi
    I have just been given an A100-999 and I wanted to know which battery was the best for endurance.
    From what I have seen it is the pa3400u-1brs but i just wanted confirmation as I am planning to buy it in Japan as it is probably cheaper.
    Also, is there any information on how long this battery lasts?
    thanks

    Hi there,
    this battery would fit for your machine 100%. I have the same one in almost the same machine. Dont worry, just buy it.

  • Which Linux is the best?

    hi guys,
    This is not related to java, but I am currently thinking of getting a linux OS, which linux is the best out there? redhat, mandrake, suse, or whatelse?....

    Ow
    This question has been posted many times, and often enough it lead to extensive Distribution Flamewars.
    But once seems to come very clear from this discusions:
    SuSE and Mandrake seem to be the most newbie friendly, they have easy installer, and will configure one of the big GUI's for the user (KDE is the default on both). Unfortunately, this installers can not handle any hardware, so sometimes you will have even install probs with them (without any Linux/Unix knowledge), but even on linux there is a generic default GUI driver g.
    RedHat (which is the base for Mnadrake) is on the other Hand the globaly most used distribution (SuSE leeds only at home in Germany here), so your chance to find someone who uses RH and can help you is big.
    The most sophisticated L33nux users go to Debian, their apt-get is a fantastic tool for updates. But Debian is more handwork on confs.
    The crazy people, with masochistic tendencies, go to slackware. I don't know if Slack 8 is still so, but earlier it was pure Linux, no nice grafical config-tools etc. There was even no handbook to it.
    In terms of Java, well, I started with SuSE and am still using it (even if it tends to be a little problematic with time, because of all the newbie tools, which cause trouble with hand-made confs), and the Sun jdk's runed without problems, at this time I have jdk1.3-rc2 and 1.4-beta here running.
    SUN itself seems testing the JDK's (or j2se now) on the most used RH, so it should also work well with this, and because Mandrake bases on RH, there should be also no problem.
    So if you have no experience with Linux, I would suggest Mandrake or SuSE. If you have some experience with Unix/Linux (e.g. from University) RedHat is maybe better in long terms.
    All this provide huge handbooks for beginners, if you buy a distri.
    With a good I-Net-Connection, you can download RedHat or Mandrake for testing (SuSE too, but SuSE stoped to provide CD-Images on their server, the live - version is only for testing, not installable).

  • 4G RAM which one is the best to me ?

    Hi,
    I live in Netherlands right now and i'm looking to upgrade my new laptop HP Pavilion G6-2051sd from 6G to 8G,
    tired to find which RAM is the best to my laptop there is to many types ?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    According to page 38 of the Service and Manual guide, there are only two memory modules that have been tested and confirmed to work in this particular notebook.
    If you wish to purchase this from HP, then you can do so at this link. If it does not load, you can use the 641369-001 part number to search for it. You will need two to achieve 8GB of RAM.

    I'm going to be a senior this year and my school is switching over to the iPad for classroom activities. Which iPad is the best for taking notes, researching, studying, reading, etc?

    I Recommend the iPad Mini Retina, it's not to big, and not to small. It has the speed of the iPad Air due to it having the same 64 Bit chips. ( And it's a lot cheaper!!) I have one myself and it's perfect for my school work!

    i,m looking for handsfree for iphone 4s, which one is the best for it

    I really like the Plantronics Voyager Pro bluetooth headset.  I have tried a lot of the ones on the market and the Plantronics one that I now use has - a long battery life, excellent sound quality and very low background noise. I occasionally use it when in a vehicle (although I do try to avoid doing this) and people on the other end of the line don't even realise that I am in a car.

  • After completed as an MBA HR & System, Which module is the best for freshers ??

    Hi,  I am Samrat Saha. I completed my post graduation as an MBA (HR&System). I did BCA in my graduation and did Higher secondary in commerce. I want to build my career in SAP. But I have some questions::
    1. If i go for SAP then which module is the best for me..??
    2. As a fresher is companies showing any interest to recruit..??
    3. I hard a Course from Victoria University, Melborn, That Is "Master of Business (Enterprise Resource planning System) with SAP".. Is this Master degree worthy to do??
    Message was edited by: Sarah Kellman

    Hello Samrat,
    It is not possible to provide guidance on what career path you should take.  This is a conversation you need to have with a Career Planner or perhaps one of your professors.  You should follow the path you are most interested in, be it a functional role or a technical role.  Ideally you may want to consider getting some work experience in both fields, and then determine which area you wish to pursue.
    You state you have an MBA in HR & System....System what??  System development? Technology?  Programming?  Data Warehousing?  Even HR is a vast area within the SAP world.  We have Payroll, Recruiting, Self Services, Compensation, Time Management, Learning Management Systems, etc.  Most consultants select one or two areas to pursue.  There is no such thing as a single person who knows the complete SAP HR solution...it's just too big!
    I will suggest that you consider taking an SAP HR course so that you can get an idea as to how large the application is.  There are lots of courses available in e-learning.  I would recommend either SAPHRE or HR050E to start.  Once you have completed one of these, you'll be in a better position to decide what you want to do, or at least decide what you don't want to do.
    Good Luck!
