planning to buy a z3 for new experience,mostly use for phone call,whatsapp
,internet browsing.is it worth?

is that any cons,hope me back??

thanks for reply.

For new experience, yes
Con you around 600 or 700 only.
But when you go to Indo, you will be famous!

If you want to do browsing + phone calls + whatsapp, the Z3 is more than worth it.

THe only cons are the camera (which is a 5mp unit), and the 1.5GB RAM (which still makes it a good machine, I've got a 2GB Android, and I'm always only having 100-200mb free, dafuq?)

thanks for master suggest.now is waiting for budget approve....hehe

how about compare to zenfone 5?

Depends on what you want to compare.

If its camera, the Zenfone 5 (it has 8mp, and that actually-usable-low-light-camera) can shoot better.
Screen size should be the same.

Power? The Z3 win hands down. Ridiculous power management from the Zenfone 5, despite zenfone 5 having a slightly bigger battery.

USB OTG is only very recently (like less than a week) introduced to Zenfone 5. BlackBerry Z3 still doesn't have it (which is kind of moot, if you're only using the USB-OTG to read thumbdrives as Zenfone 5 and and BlackBerry Z3 actually can and will do hotswap of SD card, but eventually depend on the use case, since BlackBerry Z3 will have "BlackBerry Blend".

Android apps, as of 10.3.0.1052, works well, again, except if you need GAPPS.

In the end it depends on what you want. Do you want a BlackBerry, or do you want a full fledged Android experience? I've got both and I want a BlackBerry.

thanks for the reply,what is Blackberry Blend??software?

GAPPS is what ?

may i know,i can sysn my google contact to Z3?

should be possible, I sync my google contacts to my Q10

I see,than should be no problem.

Yes you can. It will be faster via WiFi. You may want to use apps to make sure you back up your contacts and all, since your phone acts as the slave for sync, not master, if you use Google Sync.

my z3 screen cracked....... how supposed to get sparepart....
at brighstar their quoted rm490 for lcd...huwaaaaaaaaaaa

see online sparepart from U.S...on rm 73.00 plus shipping 70....only 150...who can help me

me too.
have your repair your z3 now and how much?
Mind to share?

Went to Low Yat's BlackBerry store (top floor) to esquire about Z3. Was quoted RM699.

The sotre was empty with 2 sales person. Malay and Chinese guy. The Malay guy was friendly while the Chinese .... well, I thought I killed his whole family. Totally not interested to serve. Everything I ask, he answered in 1 word. Z30 cost RM1.2k+! Still so expensive?

The z30 may only be a dual core phone, but demand for it hasn't actually cooled down. Amongst the "first generation" of BlackBerry 10 devices, Z10, Q10, Q5, and Z30, the Z30 outsells every other models.


2nd generation device line up will be

Z3, Q20, Passport.

where to get z3 casing/ tempered glass?
just got 20 unit of z3 for our staffs daily usage.. but very hard to get the casing..

btw, i like z3 more as the battery can last for atleast 2 days.. but my zenfone 5, hardly stand 1day..

Just updated my blackberry Z3 to the latest 10.3.1, it's really looked good on the new UI, especially with black theme.

Just to share my experience, i couldn't update to the latest os via OTA or blackberry link as there were errors keep on popping up. So, eventually i did a clean update by doing the security wipe and update from factory setting.

So, for those can't update via OTA or blackberry link, this is the only solution for you. Hope this help.
