This is a good phone. I especially appreciate the security, and this is why I got it. Two things, though: 1. the WiFi radio is weak. You will need to be fairly close to a WiFi signal to pick it up. 2. the voice recognition when you use it for Internet searches needs to be improved. it works well most of the time but I find myself typing in the search frequently. I can deal with these issues because I have other devices to use as well. I will always keep a Blackberry and this one stays.

Internet is fast. Key board is good. It can be confusing if you are in a hurry to perform a function. There is certainly a learning curve which you don't have with the Android phone. Being different just for its own sake is not necessary being a good product. Form should always follow functionality. Maybe that's why these phones are less expensive.

Wanted something different this time. Had owned a BB in the past and liked that it was and easy phone to repair. Reception-Totally outstanding!! In an area that constantly dropped calls on the Samsung, Motorola and iPhone, the Z30 maintained reception for over three hours of talk time to my sister. (I-10 from the west end of Tallahassee to Eglin AFB and back to Chipley.) Normally the other phones dropped the call at least 4 times in that stretch of road. Battery-Is so-so, not outstanding. Even at idle on that trip it drops the charge to 50-60% of full. Probably too much going on in the background. I'm still learning. Learning Curve-It's high for me. There is little information out there. CrackBerry is a good source but trying to hunt down a relative solution to the problem can turn into a hour long task. And even then there may not be an answer. Also, native apps tend to take over and do automatic, unauthorized routines like loading Facebook friends' birthdays into the calendar. Hey BlackBerry, we get notices of those automatically via email. Don't clutter my calendar!! Apps-BBW has few apps that are relative to what I need. The promise of Android apps running on the Z30 are not true. OS is the latest and should support .apk but so far not the one has loaded on the Z30. Some users suggest opening the app's final destination in the browser, sign in and bookmark the page. But that doesn't always work as most sites will time out and you have to re-enter the password. My passwords are long, complicated and must be written down to be remembered. Overall I am impressed with the reception of the Z30 and not too happy with the rest of the features. (Looking back, my first mobile phone was a Motorola "bag" I bought in 1988. All you could do on it was call so why complain...right?)Read full review
I bought this phone as a stand in for my broke IPhone5. I was going to wait and buy an IPhone6 or 7 but have decided for now that for the price I got it at (approximately 89$), That it is at least as good as my IPhone5 was. The display can bee seen in direct sunlight fairly well and the battery lasts 1 or 2 days for me depending on usage. OS is pretty easy to understand but I was always a Blackberry fan; some people don't like the gesture system of getting around but I had no problem adjusting from an IPhone. Camera is better than average but not quite as good as IPhone. I don't have many apps or games installed but have been able to side load Android app and games with mostly good results.
