I like this phone, there I said it.
Given that it'll spend it's life in a case the plastic doesn't bother me as much as some people, I like the slide and qwerty keyboard - it makes it stand out whether you think it's unnecessary or not, it's an amoled fhd screen - which is all you need under 7" despite what people may say, it has a decent battery size/life, the chipset is outdated now but this is a work phone not a game phone and really the 808 will still handle pretty much everything you throw at it.
The only thing that lets this down is the ridiculous price. Even the BB CEO agrees. Cut the price and it could be the game changer BB needs.

If one does not desire the keyboard (the thickness along with it) then one should simple go for a full touch or something else. One should NOT waste one's money a phone if all one's going to do is give negative feedback!

BB took a lot of time in designing this phone and wanted to add every feature in the physical design to make sure it will attract the majority of users (i.e edge side , physical keyboard, and black premium finish), but they they didn't consider that it will affect:
- The snapdragon version will be outdated (Processor) by the time of release.
- The front camera is below 5 out 10.
- Heat up by normal usage.
- Consume battery more than average phone therefore the number in mAH is not exact in term of performance.
Releasing this phone simply without the keyboard, and work more in the software upgrade and processor specification, will make this phone goes to the very top, by the unique features of BB Hub and smart touch keyboard features.

I have used this phone and sell it because of the unnecessary physical keyboard they put it in this phone :( and two of my friends sell it for the same reason, I have never used the keyboard and it just add weight and thickness to the phone, the thing is bb still believe that they will make more sales by adding keyboard and this is wrong!! it takes space and the buttons are so small, the design will be very limited!!
I think if this phone released without a keyboard with some good features and shortcuts in the BB hubs (&stable software) it will make this phone one of the top phone for variety of users.

Lawrence, 21 Apr 2016apk on my bb z10 was working properly not until 2 weeks ago... moreNot Priv related, but the same happened with my blackberry passport.
Android apps worked flawlessly until last week when the "no connection" warning appeared with Facebook messenger, Facebook Lite and other apps. This only happened with mobile connection, not with Wi-Fi.
It seems that the android apps stopped recognising the mobile connection.
Here is how I solved the issue:
I installed an android app called "Android Assistant"
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.advancedprocessmanager&hl=en
Since you can't download it directly from the google play store I downloaded it to an android phone, extracted it with "android apk extractor" and sent it to my Blackberry
After installing, you have to choose the "Tools" tab and make sure that the wifi and mobile network icons are "on" (green color).
Everything is working again.
Hope this helps

apk on my bb z10 was working properly not until 2 weeks ago when I can't get them on-line like my fb messenger. Showing not connected to network even though I'm already connected. It has also a note saying that app wasn't inspected, could not connect to Blackberry Guardian. Any ideas on how to fix this? My OS is 10.3.1
