Blackberry Q10 - Keyboard

Next to the Hub, if not the most important feature of the Q10, is the keyboard!

OK, I must admit, I've had every iPhone since it's been released.  Original, 3, 3G, 4 and then the 4S and finally the iPhone 5.  I did stray every now and then.  Atrix 4G.  Original Nexus. Samsung Nexus.  Nexus 4.  I would have to check my eBay account to get a full listing.

Oh, and yes, a Blackberry along the way.  I don't remember the model number.

Now comes the Q10.  QWERTY keyboard and a touchscreen.  What a blend of technology.  I have to say the keyboard is fantastic.  With every iPhone and Android variant, I've never been fully comfortable with the virtual keyboard.  I spend at least every 4th or 5th keystroke on the backspace, and at times hitting the key many times.

So far, I have been very pleased with the Q10 keyboard.  I must concur with several reviews I've read saying the keyboard is of superb quality.  The feel is very sturdy and you feel every click, as you would expect from Blackberry.

Another quality of the keyboard is one that can't be measured by simple metrics.

You feel more apt to do work!  With every virtual keyboard I've ever owned, I've always used the device to view, but never respond.  Responses have always been reserved for "when I'm back at the office".  The past few days, I've responded on the spot.  I truly understand all the reviews I've read to date that talk about being able to function, not just review.

More to follow!
