5 Reasons Why the BlackBerry 10 Bashers Are Wrong
Beyond Video Chat
Maybe it’s just the geek in me, but I get a kick of innovations that redefine the way we communicate. With the new BBM in BlackBerry 10, you don’t have to look at your own face when you video chat. You can actually share what’s on your screen or see what’s on someone else’s display. During my testing, I conducted three BBM video calls, and during each one, the picture streaming through looked clear. There’s only a moment of blur as the person on the other end switches screens. This feature could be a great way to give a quick presentation, share sensitive info or just get troubleshooting help from the IT department.

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!
