      Jupe, 02 Jul 2014Thanks for your comments. I do all my "work" (... moreThe keyboard in BlackBerry 10 is indeed wonderful. You should try the 'flick up' words..! Now about your questions.

      1. Battery management :- The Z10 has got a 4.2" IPS screen with 356 ppi. The color and brightness is amazing in Z10. But the caveat is that this screen eats a lot of power - remember, the Z10 battery is 'only' 1800 mAH. The Z3 , on the other hand got a bigger qHD (whatever that means!) 5" display with a lower resolution. Reviews over the web says it is not as crisp as Z10 (obviously), but just OK. This is obviously to last battery longer .Ah, battery. It is a 2500 mAH battery. I guess it answered your question.

      2. Ease of use - I am not sure what do you mean by that. Z10 is much compact, Z3 is bigger. You can read things easily in a bigger screen, right?

      3. Fun part..hmm. Z10 lacks only in one matter. No FM radio. But for games and multimedia, Z10 is better because it has got more memory ( games are notoriously memory hungry) and superior display resolution. Z3 got FM radio, so go figure :).

      Phew...! Hope this helps a bit...

        irrateindian, 02 Jul 2014what the crap is going one has anyone used Z3 then pls post... moreCool down, buddy. We are under NO OBLIGATION to give you any accurate information. We write these comments only because of the goodness of our hearts. You can't demand anything from us.

        For your information and broadcasting, so far only Indonesians have used Z3. If you are in a hurry to know everything immediately, you can find an Indonesian and ask him politely. You may get an answer.

        Rewiews, huh? There is a beautiful tool called "google search". Did you try typing "BlackBerry Z3 review" there and press "enter"?

          Is Z3 cell coming with non removable battery??? So, that means if battery is going to be damage or something else than no any chance to replace or not.??

            I do all my "work" (including emails) on my laptop but when I am in meeting or during lunch breaks or during travel, I check my emails frequently on BB. I've heard wonderful things about the virtual keypad in BB10 so not very fussed on having a physical QWERTY keypad hence not even considering the Q10.

            Though my curve is on BIS, my IT folks have confirmed that they can support my official mails on BB10 and normal data plans. What I am concerned about is
            1. Battery management
            2. Ease of use
            3. Obviously "non work fun stuff" that I can do on my new phone - could be fast surfing, light gaming, media and entertainment.

            Given these requirements, should I go for Z10 or Z3... Terribly confused.

                AnonD-279492, 02 Jul 2014Any one please tell me the sound experience in Blackberry p... moreI have got a Z30. The speakers are exceptional (stereo with what BlackBerry calls "Natural Sound". It guarantee exceptional clarity over BBM. The speakers are loud enough for phone calls.

                But the headset supplied was a letdown for me. I love bass in my music ( "The Keepers" by Sandigold..wow). I had to buy a better quality headphone to enjoy my music. However for normal conversation the supplied headset is more than sufficient.

                Having said that, I have no idea what is the sound experience of Z3. Maybe once some of my friends buy it, I would know.

So you may have to check with your IT guys if BlackBerry 10 support the mail access. How do you access your mails from your laptop? Using a VPN? That is where you need the confirmation from your IT department.

                            If you are truly looking for a Curve ( being a QWERTY device), you may consider BlackBerry Q10. It is compact and sturdy device with a great battery life - perfect for communication

                                        "Here are 50 reasons you can't go wrong with a blackberry z10 purchase.

                                        01. The z10 isn't a slightly refreshed model of a previous phone.
                                        02. No physical home button.
                                        03. Removable battery.
                                        04. Expandable storage.
                                        05. Touch on lense screen technology.
                                        06. Micro HDMI port.
                                        07. Universal charging port/cable.
                                        08. NFC capable because it's 2013.
                                        09. GLO algorithm display dimming tech
                                        10. Antennas are safely inside the phone, not outside so you will never potentially "hold it wrong".
                                        11. The browser is HTML.
                                        12. Notification light - because we're not telepathic yet and can't predict what our phone is doing 30 feet away.
                                        13. Incredibly organized HUB all in one message place.
                                        14. Active frames - display real time data.
                                        15. Real multi tasking - not fake Multitasking like having to exit an app tapping home button twice and opening another one while the other app takes a break.
                                        16. Active browser continues playing videos and sound when minimized.
                                        17. Actionable Toast notifications reply directly to instant notifications.
                                        18. Plug and play, drag drop files into the z10 from your computer without syncing software.
                                        19. 2 GB ram works efficiently with QNX
                                        20. Z10 has 30% more battery life than a certain competitor.
                                        21. Bigger battery 1880 mah compared to some competitors.

                                        33. Z10 features the Swipe to unlock almost forgot how impressive this is because it's changed the way I look at any device, swipe killed the home button star.
                                        34. Z10 makes available time shift camera software, ingenious and very useful.
