So I was given the opportunity to take the BlackBerry Z10 for a test drive. It has been roughly 24 hours since my cut over from a Galaxy Nexus.
Likes: BlackBerry Hub is an excellent center for all things I care about. The integrated SMS, MMS, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. creates a time saving central hub for things I care about.
The Web browsing seems to deliver a better experience than on my Android or iPhone.
The keyboard is also fantastic.
Dislikes: there is a lack of native apps that I used on a regular basis on both my Android and iPhone. This seems to be my only dislike at the moment.
Though the previously mentioned dislike is a bit annoying, I was pleasantly surprised how well the HTML 5 versions of apps like GMAIL, Google voice, etc. worked.
In fact the only app that I can't replace with an HTML 5 variant so far seems to be Google Authenticator. However to get around that that just have a code sent via text message, problem solved for now. Now I do understand a code via SMS text could be a security concern because it isn't encrypted and could be intercepted, etc. But this is a trade off needed ff the time being.

Welcome to my blog
I named my blog according to how my job goes at times. I have to clean up other people's shit. Hence IT Custodial Engineer. I'll be posting random stuff to help document things that I hope will make other people's lives easier and even prevent idiots from doing stupid stuff to need an IT Custodial Engineer such as myself to step in. Enough with my rant and run on sentences. To the blog!
Paging all IT Custodial Engineers. Clean up in server rack 2!
