Try the Tech - Blackberry Z30 by MI5

[MI5]

Just a short intro and first impressions as I have just got back off holiday and the Z30 was waiting for me when I arrived home.

It looks lovely and has a nice weight and feel. Screen is sharp and bright and visually comparable in size to my Z1 (current daily driver).

It is available sim free from CPW for £480 currently which seems quite a lot of money compared to what I paid for my Z1 although they are both the same price in CPW. This makes it an ideal comparisson tool for my review which will follow in the next few days.

Currently the Z30 is upgrading it's firmware so will get stuck in once that's done.

Anticipating your take on it

Might need your help with some things mate

Like should I do your snap mod or just keep it completely stock BB ?

[aldaweb]

If you want to use any Android apps then you will need to use Snap or Amazon App store.

I'd recommend the Android versions of MyO2 and BBC iPlayer over the ones in Blackberry World though.

I've already noticed there's no Tumblr app on BB World so I may have to go the Android route.

Awaiting with bated breath.

Well I'm already moaning about BB World but I'll try aldaweb's snap mod before I get too distressed

Check Trapeez or Umbrlla as they are arguably the best Tumblr clients on BB10. They aren't free though sadly. I always found Tumblr easy enough to use in the browser right enough!

I looked at Umbrlla and although it's only 75p I'm unlikely to need it again after the trial....
I'll check out the browser route and see how that goes....
