Blackberry Z10 or Q10 Owner Here?

Post by fsw »

Does anyone of you have a Blackberry Z10 or Q10 and can tell me the GOOD and the BAD of it?
I'm interested in the Blackberry 10 OS and ecosystem (development etc...).

Thanks

Both Z10 and Q10 are flagship smartphone of BlackBerry, it's new and still buggy, both in OS and supported 3rd software.
I have use Z10, like geature feature, dislike about random reboot (lack of BBR respone to the problem) & lack of software, with sideload you can run android app on Blackberry (but i am feeling slow & bug, no native).

that is abit , thanks.

You develop for BB10 with Qt, the same will be true for Jolla's Sailfish OS and Canonical's Ubuntu Touch.
The next version of Qt (5.2) which will be available later this year will offer full support for Android and iOS too.
You can also use Qt to develop for Linux, Windows and Mac desktops.

When creating a Qt application you can use C++ or just create a stub application that runs QML (JavaScript syntax) scripts. You can mix and match too, it's very easy to expose C++ objects to the QML interpreter so you can primarily use QML for your app and just drop into C++ if you have a bottleneck to alleviate.

I've just started using QWebKit to create a custom browser (for running local scripts only) that exposes objects to JavaScript for connecting to databases, file handling, creating network connections, etc... Once it's fully functional I want to compile it for every platform I use (Linux, Windows, Android and soon maybe Sailfish) so in the future I can do all of my programming in QooxDoo.

I think learning Qt will not be wasted time even if BB10 doesn't become a huge success.
