Wendy is a mystry. Loyal to iPhone and holds a HTC One X which she hates for being "PLASTICKY" and a ton of Red Thumbs Down. LOL

The screen height is the same but the width is different...The BB Z10 has a slightly wider screen.

Overall, Iphone 5 camera wins..hands down

The Z10 screen is way better. It is a decent shape and has a great aspect ratio for portrait.

The Iphone 5 on the other hand, let's just say it should have stuck to a 3:2 aspect ratio. 16:9 really does not go well with a screen that is already super tall and skinny. 16:9 works well with short and fat screens though.

True, but you have to give BB credit for a strong start. The only real thing it's missing is apps and a few features, otherwise it's a very solid platform for starting a comeback.

The multitasking and notification methods BB brought are second to none. BB centralized their OS around multitasking, and I personally think the notifications system is better than any other platform has right now.

All BB10 needs is the developer support, then it'll be a top competitor. For a brand new platform, BB did a spectacular job.

I think it's a great start

Blackberry did not start with the Z10. It ends with it.

Yes blackberry has a very strong start and remember its only v.1 of Blackberry 10 os. who knows how much the BB10 os will improve.The only thing more solid about iOS is that it have many apps that we can use.But in every other aspects, I think Z10 is on par with iPhone 5

And the apps make the iPhone a serious power user device too

Tech have u ever really worked with the ip5 hands on for a good amount of time?

37. Xtasy posted on 07 Feb 2013, 08:16 4 6

The iPhone has multitasking, it just does it in its own way. Better notifications is subjective, people will prefer one thing to the other, I feel that the notifications in iOS simply lack quick settings but other than that its great, again that's subjective. Multitasking is the ability to do two or more things at once, and leave an app and return to it the way u left it. The iPhone does that.

17. Berzerk000 posted on 07 Feb 2013, 06:36 7 2

The iPhone doesn't have multitasking. After closing out of an app, it's given about 5 seconds of background time (but may have a 10 minute extension if there is a big task) then goes into a suspended state; that isn't multitasking. Multitasking is running multiple things at once, and if apps are put in a suspended state, that means they aren't running, and thus not multitasking. Only a few apps in iOS can run in the background constantly; mainly music/podcast and social networking apps.

MacWorld did an article on this a while ago, and unless Apple changed the way iOS multitasks in iOS 6 (which I highly doubt), it still holds true.

Symbian and Meego are the other true multi-taskers that have been commericalized (and killed) by Nokia. Meego, in particular, delivered the unified messaging hub and full gesture based UI that the media is currently praising BB for "developing".

Apple and Microsoft have both chosen the suspended app approach probably to address battery life for their high overhead OS's.

You prefer how iOS switches apps, multitasking isn't the correct term because iOS doesn't multitask.

How can other devices not multitask if they have the same software? It makes no sense.

IOS has multitasking the same as Android system. For example you can close a game and return to it anytime you want. What you'll find is a paused game.
For other applications you have the same.
I haven't seen any application that is shot down after pushing the home button.
Can you give an example that is against multitasking?

That's exactly what i couldn't understand! How could people using an iphone 5 be a power user lol

It's very obvious that the person who wrote this is biased and rooting for the iphone and is a fan of one...
