BlackBerry Q10 Unlocked Cellphone, 16GB, White

I purchased this phone as a back up after my previous Q10 died. Obviously the Blackberry OS is no longer a player in the smartphone market. But for anyone looking for a workhorse phone and doesn't need the bells and whistles of the latest apps, the Q10 is great. The touchscreen is responsive and of course there is the iconic Blackberry keyboard.Compared to today's smartphones, this is much smaller, which makes it easier to hold and operate for smaller hands.This particular phone is being used for a second emergency cell line - I don't need an iPhone or Galaxy 8 for that - so it works for me. Because it is unlocked, it is also the phone I take with me on overseas missions (with less fear of losing my more expensive everyday phone).So while it is definitely an older phone and OS, it can still be a good choice in some circumstances.

After losing an iPhone to water damage I simply refused to pay $600 for a replacement. I turned to the Blackberry because it did three things very well: it's a good phone, it's easy to text with thanks to the keyboard and it plays music. I never anticipated turn by turn directions in the map app and new surprises pop up almost weekly as I use it now. The screen is smaller than what I was using but, then again, I'm not using it for the screen so it's no big deal. If you're ready to break away from your addiction to the iPhone this may be a good choice - and the Passport offers a larger screen and some innovative technology with the keyboard. Now, if we can just keep Blackberry in business this will become a great move.

DO NOT BUY! I bought this phone on Oct 12th, the screen went black and phone unusable by Jan 13th. I was on a business trip and had to buy a new phone immediately. Requested a refund and was told they would not because it was beyond 30 days, but said they'd take a look at it to see if it was MY FAULT the phone died.I bought a FRONT AND BACK protective case, never dropped, never abused this phone. I work very hard for every dollar I make and take very good care of the things I have to buy.I told Seller they should initiate the return because the phone was a hunk of junk. This is what they said, "(My name) you have had the phone for months now. The Amazon return policy is 30 days. Please do not be rude. How can you claim the phone is junk when you've used it for months. Please explain how it is junk. I will then see what can be done"My response was, "Three months...THREE...Junk!"What the heck is going on when we think that a $125 constitutes a good buy for three months of use? Seriously! The audacity! I cannot imagine telling someone to basically, jump in a lake, shut up and be happy because they were already over privileged to have been graced with the use of a product for 90 days.I called AMAZON and they backed the seller. I spend thousands a year on this site...I'm going to seriously have to rethink that. I miss the mom and pop stores.

Personally, i think people's rate on this brand is inaccurate and unfair. Also I don't think BB phones should be compared with iPhones because they are totally different devices.If you don't feel ready to jump directly to a touchscreen phone this is your perfect fit. If you work with emails, web browsing on the go, documents edition and so forth, again this is the perfect match. People's complains about the lack of apps as the BB's weakness have been solved since the new OS was released a couple weeks ago. Now you can install Android apps without a problem directly on your BB10.For me, this is the perfect combination between a powerful working tool, and an excellent entertainment device. You can watch movies from your phone directly to your HD TV with one touch and many other things.This is a great phone.

This is a phone of quality built for communication. The Blackberry Hub is absolutely fantastic, the keyboard luxurious, and the hardware beautiful. Phone's not the most powerful thing on the market today, but the processing power is more than enough for sending messages, writing emails, etc. Blackberry 10 is a great OS that's very fast and I find much more intuitive than Android or iOS.Only main qualm is the app selection. While you can install Android apps, anything that relies on Google Play Services (Play Music, Google Maps, etc.) will not run properly on the phone. Still, if you're looking for the best way to communicate with people and are not buying a phone for the apps, this one is perfect.Also, some people mentioned receiving Verizon models instead of the international model. I can confirm that Joycells ships the true international version as that is the one I've received from them.

So happy with the phone I brought, it arrived on time which was big for me. I'm leaving the country so it is a last minute gift . Charged i but have not done anything else screen is nice and clear will be setup in the country im hoing will have more as far fuction when.I get there so far super happy. Had a hard time with finding this color so I am so happy about the color and delivery time. If everything else is as smooth with this phone will be making other purchases. So happy thus far. Thanks a million to be continued.

The blackberry Q10 was exactly what I wanted because I wanted the blackberry style and keyboard with the touch screen and ease of use of a smartphone. All the phone functions work great, has neat tricks to make moving around the phone easier. Applications don't work very well but I got it for the phone and email capabilities, not the apps. I was very glad the calendar was able to sync with my two gmail calendars that I need for work! Overall, great phone!

I wish it was still socially acceptable to have these as our phones! I bought this and I love this phone! Works perfect. The battery lasted me like 2 days.
