Friends+Design
- Solid build quality
- Stunning, premium looks with a stainless-steel frame
- Squat, square shape makes it awkward to use - and virtually impossible to use with one hand - this is a phone that clearly sacrifices comfort for productivity
Display
- Gorgeous, high-quality display, that is excellent for both reading, and editing documents, because of its width
- Apps that aren't optimized for the square display can also look a little odd
Software
- Good physical QWERTY keyboard, with clever gesture support
- BlackBerry OS has useful productivity apps/functionality built-in
- Blackberry Assistant is a useful voice-search assistant (like Google Now on Android, and Siri on iOS)
- Android apps are supported but the app store that is included (Amazon app store) is limited and lacks some of the apps found on Google Play
- The gesture based interface of the Blackberry OS takes time getting used to
Performance
- Fantastic speed/performance backed by top-end hardware
Camera
- Average camera - takes too long to focus and snap photos
Audio
- Excellent call quality
- Excellent dual speakers
Battery
- Very good battery life
More
- Blackberry Blend offers full control over your phone from a PC, or another mobile device
- Heats up during gaming
