Corsair.com Voyager air to 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 00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:17.320 been using Android for about three and a half years now and I've been challenged 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 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 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 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 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 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 00:00:39.480 --> 00:00:44.879 actually like that the plugs are on the side that's a preference thing so some 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 00:00:47.160 --> 00:00:53.399 of my car or somewhere else where it's sitting in something then being on the 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 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 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 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 00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:15.159 take off the back right there and the battery is kind 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 00:01:17.960 --> 00:01:23.840 card um I haven't had a ton of experience with the camera right there 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 00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:30.920 to the hockey rink and those looked great but then I took some in my room 00:01:28.960 --> 00:01:34.079 that was close closer lit and those didn't look as great but then that was 00:01:32.720 --> 00:01:37.320 with no custom settings or anything going on so I'm not too sure about that 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 00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:47.200 you'll likely notice that it looks kind of gross right 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 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 00:01:54.119 --> 00:02:00.159 like the pant leg of my pants or whatever because I do like because I do 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 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 00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:14.840 when the screen is on you might be able to see it better because of reflection 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 00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:23.200 again due to reflection you might be able to when you first turn the screen on 00:02:21.480 --> 00:02:26.720 you'll notice notifications here it's actually quite nice because I can see I 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 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 00:02:34.519 --> 00:02:40.680 and checking my email then they have a come on screen 00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:43.920 turn on um they have a nice quick feature to get to your blackberry Hub 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 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 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 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 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 00:03:04.920 --> 00:03:12.080 from the home screen but I forgive it because Blackberry Hub is just kind of 00:03:08.799 --> 00:03:14.280 fantastic it integrates all of your 00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:17.480 social media it integrates all of your emails you can have multiple emails on 00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:21.400 it it integrates your Blackberry Messenger text messages everything so I 00:03:19.640 --> 00:03:27.000 actually really like that a lot you can see everything in order as it comes in 00:03:23.959 --> 00:03:28.439 on the list which is fantastic because 00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:32.080 if you're just trying to quickly go through all your social media or text 00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:35.920 messages or whatever you can quickly jump over here do all that jump back out 00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:41.720 and go away one thing I've noticed with Blackberry so far is efficiency is kind 00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:45.080 of their deal which is just absolutely awesome I noticed the forum's down 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 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 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 00:03:56.200 --> 00:04:02.720 individually to different sections so notifications BBM text messages email 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 00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:12.159 longer the list of everything it's the individual list for that um app or 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 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 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 00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:28.280 very very fast to get to so again efficiency and getting things done on 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 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 00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:41.479 mainly been using the Social Media stuff and email and all that kind of stuff um 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 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 00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:55.440 people that use Skype a crazy amount on their phones personally I'm sure people 00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:57.240 do um but I do a lot because I use it 00:04:55.440 --> 00:05:01.280 for interfacing with my moderator team on the Forum so um we have a person 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 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 00:05:09.280 --> 00:05:14.880 actually kind of a big bummer that they don't have Skype chat 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 00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:22.639 hopefully other stuff is there um but Skype wasn't so that was a bummer I 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 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 00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:34.440 touch below the screen and slide up the 00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:39.000 phone will turn on and you can do your full swipe right from there which is 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:22.919 a ton about it it opens up 00:06:25.440 --> 00:06:31.319 Pornhub um no it doesn't just to be 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 00:06:33.479 --> 00:06:41.199 open up Pornhub I can guarantee you that that's disappointing so what it actually does 00:06:39.039 --> 00:06:45.400 is when instead of swiping up on this screen when you swipe down it brings 00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:50.919 down the Deb bedside mode which as you can see is not actually PornHub it's 00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:52.120 terrible porn um it's a clock so I don't 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 00:06:54.000 --> 00:07:00.840 run for very long optimized for you 00:06:57.599 --> 00:07:03.120 wow you can turn 00:07:00.840 --> 00:07:05.919 wow you can turn on the alarm and off the alarm quickly and easily by swiping 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 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 00:07:13.400 --> 00:07:20.080 sliding things away um very common feature with Blackberry is that if 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 00:07:21.919 --> 00:07:27.479 how it works there's no physical buttons there's no major featured on screen 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 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 00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:39.720 single swipe throw away uh one thing I noticed about this is unlike say Android 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 00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:49.280 throw it off oh that actually worked but it doesn't usually do that I usually 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 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 00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:02.840 and it kind of reminds me of like the snobby businessman he's like Blackberry 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 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 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 00:08:13.520 --> 00:08:19.159 sick um so again like what the Hub ties 00:08:17.479 --> 00:08:23.199 into the professionalism thing you're done with something it gets out of the 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 00:08:25.080 --> 00:08:30.560 away it's done it brings you to this screen which is recent applications so 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 00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:38.880 into say music like I just said throw it away and then jump onto something else 00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:42.039 that you do all the time so that's actually pretty cool very efficient 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 00:08:45.880 --> 00:08:53.839 let's say home of much which is much music is 00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:53.839 Apparently one of their default web 00:08:54.600 --> 00:09:01.120 pages I didn't even know that existed it's called 00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:05.079 YouTube so I'm hoping this will rotate there we go do you notice the lag 00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:09.480 time in there this just kind of weird I've had 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 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 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 00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:27.640 takes a little while because the phone isn't slow but the rotation is slow 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 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 00:09:35.079 --> 00:09:40.360 assuming it just kind of goes nuts yeah 00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:46.279 if I did that on this phone it wouldn't actually ever make a 00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:49.160 rotation oh oh it's like one step behind 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 00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:56.680 um there is a rotation lock but then 00:09:55.000 --> 00:10:01.200 this section right here the like recent app things will save if you had it 00:09:58.839 --> 00:10:06.720 rotated so say if I go browser and then rotate it and 00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:10.079 then flick it away then go back browser 00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:11.360 still rotated it's again not really that 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 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 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 00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:29.720 here so it's kind of interesting calling people um but voice quality sounded fine 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 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 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 00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:45.399 30 days is going to go 30 days I'm 00:10:43.160 --> 00:10:50.519 already like Android deprived so that will be interesting I have everything on 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 00:10:51.920 --> 00:10:57.880 to be so now being on a completely different device is just kind of weird 00:10:56.279 --> 00:11:02.600 and the only smartphone technology that I've ever used is Android 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 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 00:11:09.800 --> 00:11:14.399 not that worried about like my emails and text messages and stuff but I am 00:11:12.920 --> 00:11:20.040 worried about things like having access to Skype um I didn't really look for it 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 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 00:11:25.839 --> 00:11:31.040 super worried about that um about app 00:11:29.800 --> 00:11:35.720 support but I think I might have already said that a couple times a couple times 00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:40.120 I'm very worried about app support I think it was implied every 00:11:37.760 --> 00:11:45.000 time you talked about Skype right that makes sense um the phone seems fine like 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 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 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 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 00:11:58.800 --> 00:12:06.399 missing out more instead of not actually being able to do it 00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:07.920 um I had to down download Google talk 00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:12.560 but that's totally fine and Google talk integrates with um Hub again so that's 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 00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:21.079 Google talk actually integrates with Hub so I had to download from the App Store 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 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 00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:33.839 have that many ratings so that might be part of the the 00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:36.160 problem um yeah I think that's about it 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 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 00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:48.000 have a feeling he's going to do something in case those in case you 00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:53.360 didn't notice I was operating the camera there which probably made it terrible 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 00:12:56.079 --> 00:13:01.760 I should fire slick or not 00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:05.160 I can see all the fingerprints there's literally like nothing I can do about 00:13:06.680 --> 00:13:10.560 that that's going to look 00:13:12.079 --> 00:13:17.440 horrible I don't even want to know what that looks like
