00:00:08,559 --> 00:00:13,799
learn more hey guys for those of you that don't know me my name is Slick I've

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:17,320
been using Android for about three and a half years now and I've been challenged

5
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:20,480
to do a Blackberry eyes switched for 30 days so I'm going to try out the Z 10

6
00:00:19,119 --> 00:00:25,800
we'll see how this goes first thing anyone notices about a phone is the physical aspects of the phone so it is

7
00:00:24,359 --> 00:00:29,640
kind of a large phone but that's totally fine for me because I do have large

8
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:33,320
hands so it's not actually an issue for me um the only thing that I can find

9
00:00:31,599 --> 00:00:37,280
that I don't like about it it has a good weight to it I like phones that weigh a

10
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:41,320
bit um and I like the back a lot the texture on the back is nice but I don't

11
00:00:39,480 --> 00:00:44,879
actually like that the plugs are on the side that's a preference thing so some

12
00:00:43,559 --> 00:00:49,840
people might like that but if I'm going to put my phone in like the cup holder

13
00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:53,399
of my car or somewhere else where it's sitting in something then being on the

14
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:59,160
side might be a hindrance because if I put it down like that um the cable could

15
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:02,680
hit the side of the cup in my car or whatever so I'm not actually a huge fan

16
00:01:00,559 --> 00:01:06,479
of the cables being on the side but it's not really the end of the world uh mic

17
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:10,880
plug and Power on the top and then you've got volume over here um you can

18
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:15,159
take off the back right there and the battery is kind

19
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:19,960
of cool but other than that there's nothing that interesting back here except for your SD

20
00:01:17,960 --> 00:01:23,840
card um I haven't had a ton of experience with the camera right there

21
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:27,400
I've taken a few pictures I took some inside of a hockey rink threw glass down

22
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:30,920
to the hockey rink and those looked great but then I took some in my room

23
00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:34,079
that was close closer lit and those didn't look as great but then that was

24
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:37,320
with no custom settings or anything going on so I'm not too sure about that

25
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:42,640
the next thing you'll notice about it is I did talk about its size but if you look at its screen which is quite large

26
00:01:40,799 --> 00:01:47,200
you'll likely notice that it looks kind of gross right

27
00:01:44,399 --> 00:01:51,280
now I did just try to clean it off and I do actively try to clean it off um for

28
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:55,600
anyone that watches the live streams you'll notice that if I ever have my phone out I'm constantly rubbing it on

29
00:01:54,119 --> 00:02:00,159
like the pant leg of my pants or whatever because I do like because I do

30
00:01:58,439 --> 00:02:05,079
like keeping it clean and that's actually a problem with this phone because I cannot get fingerprints or

31
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:10,959
anything off of it no matter how many times I try um It's actually kind of crazy but

32
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:14,840
when the screen is on you might be able to see it better because of reflection

33
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:18,120
um I can't actually see the fingerprints quite as much when the screen's on but

34
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:23,200
again due to reflection you might be able to when you first turn the screen on

35
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:26,720
you'll notice notifications here it's actually quite nice because I can see I

36
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:31,319
have five emails one Facebook notification and two general notifications so it's kind of SE cool so

37
00:02:30,239 --> 00:02:35,760
I can see what's happening if I'm waiting for an email I can actually see it come in without individually going in

38
00:02:34,519 --> 00:02:40,680
and checking my email then they have a come on screen

39
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:43,920
turn on um they have a nice quick feature to get to your blackberry Hub

40
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:50,040
which is the integration of all your different social networks email all that kind of stuff which is swiping up and to

41
00:02:47,599 --> 00:02:54,800
the right you'll notice that didn't work I wish that worked from this screen but

42
00:02:52,879 --> 00:02:58,840
you have to swipe this screen away oh I'm already there wait a second there we

43
00:02:57,519 --> 00:03:03,040
go this is what you'd normally get to just I was already on that and then if you go from the bottom and

44
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:07,120
go to the right it brings up your blackberry Hub I kind of wish it did it

45
00:03:04,920 --> 00:03:12,080
from the home screen but I forgive it because Blackberry Hub is just kind of

46
00:03:08,799 --> 00:03:14,280
fantastic it integrates all of your

47
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:17,480
social media it integrates all of your emails you can have multiple emails on

48
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:21,400
it it integrates your Blackberry Messenger text messages everything so I

49
00:03:19,640 --> 00:03:27,000
actually really like that a lot you can see everything in order as it comes in

50
00:03:23,959 --> 00:03:28,439
on the list which is fantastic because

51
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:32,080
if you're just trying to quickly go through all your social media or text

52
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:35,920
messages or whatever you can quickly jump over here do all that jump back out

53
00:03:34,319 --> 00:03:41,720
and go away one thing I've noticed with Blackberry so far is efficiency is kind

54
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:45,080
of their deal which is just absolutely awesome I noticed the forum's down

55
00:03:43,599 --> 00:03:49,439
that's not a good email to get I'll have to jump on that after this video another

56
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:52,720
thing if you click on the Hub button in the bottom left hand corner I'm going to

57
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:57,640
cover this up so you guys don't see my personal email um you can see you can go

58
00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:02,720
individually to different sections so notifications BBM text messages email

59
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:07,200
whatever you want um just going to go back to HUB and then there it's no

60
00:04:05,159 --> 00:04:12,159
longer the list of everything it's the individual list for that um app or

61
00:04:09,959 --> 00:04:15,319
whatever you have so say it's email you go directly to your email and then it's

62
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:18,199
just your email so if you know you want to go to email you can go individually

63
00:04:16,919 --> 00:04:23,600
to that or if you just want to see everything at once you go right into the Hub I actually really like this and it's

64
00:04:21,079 --> 00:04:28,280
very very fast to get to so again efficiency and getting things done on

65
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:33,680
time is kind of a big point with this phone as far as the the App Store goes

66
00:04:30,759 --> 00:04:37,280
this is day one and I have not spent that much time in the App Store I've

67
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:41,479
mainly been using the Social Media stuff and email and all that kind of stuff um

68
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:44,720
but the first thing I noticed was that there isn't actually a Skype app I've

69
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:50,120
done a search here you can see there's no Skype app um I don't know that many

70
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:55,440
people that use Skype a crazy amount on their phones personally I'm sure people

71
00:04:51,759 --> 00:04:57,240
do um but I do a lot because I use it

72
00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:01,280
for interfacing with my moderator team on the Forum so um we have a person

73
00:04:59,840 --> 00:05:06,240
Skype chat so we can all keep in contact with each other very quickly to get things done quickly and I have that push

74
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:10,759
to my phone so that I can always see what's going on if anything major happens I can check it up so it's

75
00:05:09,280 --> 00:05:14,880
actually kind of a big bummer that they don't have Skype chat

76
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:18,880
um yeah I had like I said I haven't spent that much time in the App Store so

77
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:22,639
hopefully other stuff is there um but Skype wasn't so that was a bummer I

78
00:05:20,919 --> 00:05:27,199
don't know how big of a deal this is it's not actually that important but um

79
00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:32,639
you don't have to press the button on the top to activate your phone if you

80
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:34,440
touch below the screen and slide up the

81
00:05:32,639 --> 00:05:39,000
phone will turn on and you can do your full swipe right from there which is

82
00:05:36,840 --> 00:05:43,160
kind of cool but makes it that if you're cleaning it um like I said earlier the

83
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:46,840
screen gets very dirty very easily if you're cleaning it and and you go to rub

84
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:52,199
it and it can detect your finger through the other side again it's not really a big deal but the screen goes like crazy

85
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:57,400
and you might it will unlock itself and you might click something and stuff starts opening and it goes nuts while

86
00:05:54,560 --> 00:06:00,000
you're trying to clean it so it's not really that big of a deal but it's just

87
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:05,840
kind of weird when you go to clean your phone and the screen goes absolutely nuts I don't

88
00:06:03,639 --> 00:06:08,240
know again it's only day one so I haven't had a ton of time with this

89
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:13,160
there's a cat right there sorry for looking over that um but the I've heard

90
00:06:11,599 --> 00:06:17,160
of this before I actually got the phone but there's kind of a bedside mode that

91
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:22,919
I've heard of and I thought it was kind of interesting I thought it was just kind of a low power thing I didn't know

92
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,919
a ton about it it opens up

93
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:31,319
Pornhub um no it doesn't just to be

94
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:35,240
clear that I'm sure you've used it already I have used it but it didn't

95
00:06:33,479 --> 00:06:41,199
open up Pornhub I can guarantee you that that's disappointing so what it actually does

96
00:06:39,039 --> 00:06:45,400
is when instead of swiping up on this screen when you swipe down it brings

97
00:06:43,639 --> 00:06:50,919
down the Deb bedside mode which as you can see is not actually PornHub it's

98
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:52,120
terrible porn um it's a clock so I don't

99
00:06:50,919 --> 00:06:57,599
know what you're into but you might be into that um it's a clock that doesn't

100
00:06:54,000 --> 00:07:00,840
run for very long optimized for you

101
00:06:57,599 --> 00:07:03,120
wow you can turn

102
00:07:00,840 --> 00:07:05,919
wow you can turn on the alarm and off the alarm quickly and easily by swiping

103
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:12,280
right here and then if you want to change the time you just click right on the time change it to exactly what you

104
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:15,960
want go back and you're good to go one thing I noticed is that when you're

105
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:20,080
sliding things away um very common feature with Blackberry is that if

106
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:23,680
you're in an app if you want to go away you throw it away that's kind of just

107
00:07:21,919 --> 00:07:27,479
how it works there's no physical buttons there's no major featured on screen

108
00:07:26,039 --> 00:07:32,080
buttons except for like phone search and camera so if you're in say music and you

109
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:36,000
need to get out it's not a single button that you press anything like that it's a

110
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:39,720
single swipe throw away uh one thing I noticed about this is unlike say Android

111
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:44,840
there doesn't seem to be momentum on your flick so you can't just kind of

112
00:07:42,199 --> 00:07:49,280
throw it off oh that actually worked but it doesn't usually do that I usually

113
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:55,159
have to take it all the way off so I noticed take it off I noticed as I do

114
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:58,919
this I get kind of the feeling that I'm like I'm done with you get out of here

115
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:02,840
and it kind of reminds me of like the snobby businessman he's like Blackberry

116
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:07,319
I'm done with your music get it away from me I have other things to do I'm

117
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:11,400
busy so I don't know what kind of an accent was that a terrible one that's

118
00:08:09,199 --> 00:08:17,479
what that was and I'm sick so please mind me you're always sick I am always

119
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:19,159
sick um so again like what the Hub ties

120
00:08:17,479 --> 00:08:23,199
into the professionalism thing you're done with something it gets out of the

121
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:26,840
way there's no like slowly closing and all that kind of stuff it's you throw it

122
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:30,560
away it's done it brings you to this screen which is recent applications so

123
00:08:28,479 --> 00:08:35,760
if you only do kind of like four things on your phone you can very easily jump

124
00:08:33,279 --> 00:08:38,880
into say music like I just said throw it away and then jump onto something else

125
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:42,039
that you do all the time so that's actually pretty cool very efficient

126
00:08:40,560 --> 00:08:46,880
brings up the same thing I was talking about before so if I go to a web page

127
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:53,839
let's say home of much which is much music is

128
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,839
Apparently one of their default web

129
00:08:54,600 --> 00:09:01,120
pages I didn't even know that existed it's called

130
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:05,079
YouTube so I'm hoping this will rotate there we go do you notice the lag

131
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:09,480
time in there this just kind of weird I've had

132
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:14,200
it a few times where I go to turn it and then by that time I've kind of done it

133
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:19,160
again CU I'm waiting for it to actually like come on come on like I'm I'm kind

134
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:22,480
of expecting it to go a lot faster so it's just kind of interesting how it

135
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:27,640
takes a little while because the phone isn't slow but the rotation is slow

136
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:31,360
here's a one for contrast here's a HTC One for contrast a Twitchy little bugger

137
00:09:31,399 --> 00:09:39,000
like it's quick it jumps really quickly if you go like this on a one I'm

138
00:09:35,079 --> 00:09:40,360
assuming it just kind of goes nuts yeah

139
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:46,279
if I did that on this phone it wouldn't actually ever make a

140
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:49,160
rotation oh oh it's like one step behind

141
00:09:46,279 --> 00:09:55,000
you oh when I'm vertical it's the wrong way so I don't know that's kind of weird

142
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:56,680
um there is a rotation lock but then

143
00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:01,200
this section right here the like recent app things will save if you had it

144
00:09:58,839 --> 00:10:06,720
rotated so say if I go browser and then rotate it and

145
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:10,079
then flick it away then go back browser

146
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:11,360
still rotated it's again not really that

147
00:10:10,079 --> 00:10:15,959
big of an issue but it's just kind of weird it's like no I'm I'm this way now

148
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:20,200
why are you the other way voice quality I have had I think one phone call with

149
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:23,839
this um I'll hopefully be having more soon I don't have my personal Sim in

150
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:29,720
here so it's kind of interesting calling people um but voice quality sounded fine

151
00:10:27,680 --> 00:10:34,000
um like I said I've only used it once so reception was fine for that time I was

152
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:37,600
using it but I haven't really it was here like it was in the house and we're

153
00:10:35,680 --> 00:10:43,160
in kind of a big area so I wouldn't expect reception to be bad I you think

154
00:10:39,399 --> 00:10:45,399
30 days is going to go 30 days I'm

155
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:50,519
already like Android deprived so that will be interesting I have everything on

156
00:10:48,399 --> 00:10:54,000
my phone set up exactly how I want it I have everything exactly where I want it

157
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:57,880
to be so now being on a completely different device is just kind of weird

158
00:10:56,279 --> 00:11:02,600
and the only smartphone technology that I've ever used is Android

159
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:07,079
so again being away from it is kind of weird um it's outside my comfort zone

160
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:11,240
but we'll see I do like certain things like the Hub is kind of awesome so I'm

161
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:14,399
not that worried about like my emails and text messages and stuff but I am

162
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:20,040
worried about things like having access to Skype um I didn't really look for it

163
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:24,200
but I didn't see an official Reddit app um I don't like the screen rotation how

164
00:11:22,639 --> 00:11:29,800
fast it is but then usually I just lock my screen rotation anyways so I'm not

165
00:11:25,839 --> 00:11:31,040
super worried about that um about app

166
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:35,720
support but I think I might have already said that a couple times a couple times

167
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:40,120
I'm very worried about app support I think it was implied every

168
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:45,000
time you talked about Skype right that makes sense um the phone seems fine like

169
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:48,639
the the actual calling features of the phone I'm on a bell Sim that seems fine

170
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:52,959
I don't think I'm going to have any problems with that I don't know anyone

171
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:56,920
else who has a Blackberry that I know of so I don't know how much BBM I'm going

172
00:11:54,600 --> 00:12:01,560
to be able to do um but from what I hear it's awesome so I'm probably going to be

173
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:06,399
missing out more instead of not actually being able to do it

174
00:12:03,399 --> 00:12:07,920
um I had to down download Google talk

175
00:12:06,399 --> 00:12:12,560
but that's totally fine and Google talk integrates with um Hub again so that's

176
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:17,600
totally awesome I guess I should hold this Hub so you guys can actually see what I'm talking about uh but yeah

177
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:21,079
Google talk actually integrates with Hub so I had to download from the App Store

178
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:24,320
it was there it had a really low rating I don't know why I think it had like two

179
00:12:22,560 --> 00:12:28,880
and a half Stars works perfectly not sure what's going on there um it didn't

180
00:12:27,279 --> 00:12:33,839
have that many ratings so that might be part of the the

181
00:12:30,279 --> 00:12:36,160
problem um yeah I think that's about it

182
00:12:33,839 --> 00:12:39,120
so hopefully in a few more days or a week or something I'll have more to

183
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:44,240
actually talk about as I will have used it more um but yeah Linus is coming over

184
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:48,000
have a feeling he's going to do something in case those in case you

185
00:12:46,279 --> 00:12:53,360
didn't notice I was operating the camera there which probably made it terrible

186
00:12:50,519 --> 00:12:58,120
yeah but we'll see rate rate Linus's camera skills in the comments tell me if

187
00:12:56,079 --> 00:13:01,760
I should fire slick or not

188
00:12:59,639 --> 00:13:05,160
I can see all the fingerprints there's literally like nothing I can do about

189
00:13:06,680 --> 00:13:10,560
that that's going to look

190
00:13:12,079 --> 00:13:17,440
horrible I don't even want to know what that looks like
