5 Reasons Why the BlackBerry 10 Bashers Are Wrong
Multitasking Made Simple
Every smartphone platform has a different way of doing it, but I actually prefer the way BlackBerry 10 handles minimizing and viewing recent apps. Just swipe up from the bottom of the display to see the last four apps you had open, and you can scroll down to view more. Plus, with Active Frames, you can see things like the latest weather and your next appointment. With iOS and Android you get static icons. I love Windows Phones’ Live Tiles, but you have to press and hold the back button to see your recent apps lined up vertically. Too much work.

TimeShift? This is on many other phones but they don’t really even list it as a feature.
Press and hold is too much work? Its a lot easier than all of those complicated gestures on the Blackberry. People will not understand how to use it. They will get frustrated and move on.

The way Time Shift works is different than, say, Samsung’s way of handling the same problem.
And, how exactly is a swipe up “complicated”? People can handle swiping down to get notifications easily enough on Android and iOS.

Too complicated? Says someone who has most likely never used it. I just got mine today and already love the swipe gestures.

I HATE THIS PHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT DOES NOT HAVE ANY OF THE GOOD FUNCTIONS OF THE OLD BB AND DOES NOT WORK AT ALL.
Verizon lies and says that it syncs with Outlook which is the only reason I bought it. It does not work at all. I can’t even get my contacts to come up when I touch the contact icon. Spoke to a BB tech and all he did was apologize that it didn’t work. He didn’t solve even one of the problems I am having with this phone!! And there are many.
Who cares about all the other stuff when you can’t even use the phone!
