Pros: Solid phone, though it is quite lightweight it doesn't feel "cheap" or inexpensive. Great response time with gestures. The "grip" backing is great so that the phone does not slide off of slippery objects or even if it were lying on the armrest in your vehicle. BB10 is leaps and bounds from its predecessors.

Cons: Lacks major apps. I'm not the biggest app user, however I do expect apps such as skype, viber, or even magic jack. For someone like me who is often overseas, it is beneficial for us to use voip applications to save money. It was a surprise nonetheless to at least not find skype. With more patience this phone will be absolutely rock solid. One last thing is that the full gesture system will take getting used to. One may struggle initially with attempting to press a physical button, while there's none there.

Overall Review: For one who needs a more "corporate" and business-tailored device, this phone is absolutley right on the mark. The BES support allows the user to enable the Balance feature, which conveniently separates work and play environments. Gesture system again will take getting used to. This phone is the beginning of the end of the competition.
