Spec's:
1. OS-
its smooth , quick and upgradable to latest and upcoming OS and free from crashes. Fact if Android crash 3 times and apple crash 1 and than BB 0 in a given year.( please tell at least 10 out of thousand android phone which will be upgrade to latest OS and upcoming os within 1 month of its release.) Don't listen to people who say it is hard to learn , believe me people who use android actually don't know how to use it fully. Even iPhone is hard to learn .
2. Screen-
5 inch and made in such a way that it can be use by single hand. (Please note anti blackberry reviewers don't write this in there review)
3. Apps -
Blackberry provide most of its apps by building itself- Facebook, Twitter, weather , office documents, calender, Whats app , bbm , adobe reader, drop box, compass, print, g talk, yahoo messengers, password keeper, , travel, Microsoft one drive and so on. This is done to protect users data to get free from snoopers. Now you download any extra app from amazon to BB. BB now allow android apps on there OS. Please use only Amazon because after Apple and BB only Amazon makes multi check for malware apps before releasing. All beast developer like EA , Game loft and even Rovio have there games for BBOS for Blackberry world itself. So virtually there is no term call ' lack of apps'. Every app is optimize for Z30 thus no compatibility issue.
4. Camera-
if you think greater MP means greater picture quality then please read this. MP actually means zooms , so higher MP means higher zoom. Remember Nokia 41MP camera add , it was actually about zooming not quality. Camera of mobile depends on sensors .Check of camera quality of iPhone 8MP and HTC 4 MP and any high MP camera you will find HTC wins!! If want to zoom buy stand lone camera instead . Please don't look for camera in phone they don't stand a chance against stand lone camera. Z30 camera is just good . Front camera need is just 1 MP but BB give 2MP which is great for Selfie.
5. Self life- as said at least hope for 3 years.
6. Processors and RAM-
Android phone need at least 2 GB RAM to run wild. iPhone 5s run on 1 GB , so all those reviews who like high RAM phone they will hate iPhone 5s . Will you too ?? RAM depends on phone OS . Blackberry grove high RAM to support and run its high end games. You can download high end games on any android phone but cannot run them because it will kill the phone.
7. Data - 16 GB is more than too much .
8. Speaker -
Best of Best Speakers among all phones . Cannot believe me check YouTube.

PROS:
- Hardware is the best in smartphone world and has a premium touch to it.
- Runs all app (both native apps and android apps) very well.
- No lags,no reboots, snappy response.
- No special subscriptions for using BB services like email and bbm necessary like on previous versions(OS 7).
- New UI, fresh and innovative. OK BB has redefined the usual standards in UI. Its nothing like anything out there. UI unlike other phones does not having the same boring type of User Interface.
- Got Dual speakers! So, blast them away!
- Camera focus speed is slow.( very irritating sometimes). Again it can be fixed by a software update which i guess BB would soon do.
- Doesn't have Quad core processors like most high end phones.( By the way,I felt no need for a Quad core processor as it crushed all the apps which i threw at it without even flinching)
