You’re kidding me right? You guys have turned into such sell-outs. Im done here.
Cause the Blackberry 10 is New & Cool and has a great camera with time shift
BB Z10 will be a hit among existing BlackBerry fans and win over some from Apple and Samsung. Will it make a dent in the Smart Phone market? I think it depends on the Apps!
I’m curious, how does one fulfill contest entry rule #1? You say we have to “give us one good reason” but how do we “give” you our reason? Do we post it in a comment? Do you we e-mail you?

Ah, ok…. well then I will say that while I love my iPhone 5, I do really like the idea of the Balance feature on the new BlackBerry’s. The ability to clearly switch from a work context to a personal context is something I think I would find useful. Also I like the idea of the time-shift feature in the photo app. A bit gimmicky at first glance, but I actually think it would be useful.
Having said that, I think the iOS’s collection of apps and the Home button on the iPhones are key reasons that I think makes the iPhone a more useable product.
OK so I gave you 4 reasons, does that give me 4 entries into the contest?? 🙂
The iPhone 5 is better than the Z10 due to its established dev support. You can have greater certainty knowing a hot new app will come out for iOS then you can with BB10. (and guys please don’t flame me – this is all in the interest of having fun with this contest)
The Blackberry is way newer and Cool. Great camera with time shift mode
The iPhone 5 is going to have better accessory support, for one.
As a loyal iPhone user since the initial launch day, I would have to be able to fully try a BB Z10 out to be able to make that claim. That said, it would take a LOT to impress me.
Blackberry was the top-dog before. They’ll regain ground on the strength of their technology.
The Z10 will make a dent because people get bored and this is new. Be Bold haha.
I want the Z10 as it looks cool… wanna try the time shift feature.
Alicia Keys!! Just kidding.. I think the intuitive typing experience is really cool, as well as the screen sharing when chatting.
iPhone 5 more apps than BB Z10
BlackBerry Z10 will make a dent in the smartphone market with it’s new OS & keyboard.
The Blackberry Z10 is CANADIAN! It has a loyal and group of users and with new features and apps I think this will definitely make a dent in the smartphone market. Great screen size, keyboard, camera, Hubb, etc. NOT being nickled and dimed (no more pennies) by i-money grab and controlled by dictator Apple will be refreshing. I personally like the look of the Z10 and would happily and proudly use this phone, because like the BB10 “I AM CANADIAN!”

Good Luck Everyone and thanks for the contest and to Telus!!!
The z10 is better then the iPhone 5 because it can separate work and personal life plus has true multitasking aka no silly home button.
I do believe they will make a dent in the market but more in the business market then any.. Also in England since we all know they love there Blackberrys there!q
Blackberry Z10 will make a dent in the smartphone market. It still hasn’t lost its business functionality and has added features that bring it up to level with other smartphones.
The BB Z10 is Canadian, plus it separates personal & professional, perfect for the workplace, which is why is will make a dent in the market. The BB Z10 is the next generation of cell phones because it does so much, for one it will be my personal electronic wallet.
BB10 makes iOS look really bad with the Hub and its integration of apps, without stopping or pausing any currently running apps.
The z10 separates personal and work, and also runs with out having to close ups or using the home button.
I think the iPhone is better than the BlackBerry Z10 because it has a lot more apps available.
1. Isn’t it weird to run a contest to win a Z10 and yet you’re asking us to, among other things, state why the iPhone5 is better than the Z10? 😛
2. I believe the BlackBerry will made a dent in the market – whether as a niche or in a general way – because this is a company on a do-or-die run. And nothing says I will carve a slice of the market to survive like a company that is gunning it.
I find the concept of dividing work and home simply very intriguing! That and the text input seems pretty nifty too, depending on how well it learns! For the record, this could very well be the best iPiC giveaway to date!

The loads and loads of apps available for the iPhone is better than the BlackBerry Z10. But by BB making their phone able to work with normal voice/data plans (not needing BB data plans anymore) they will probably make a dent in Apple and Androids market shares.
BB10 is everything the Iphone 5 should have been and more. Move over Apple, Blackberry is back! #iphoneincanada #blackberry
The blackberry z10 is better then the iPhone 5 for Canadians, because it supports your local economy. I enjoy the keyboard experience on the phone and I think the 2 persona option will persuade people who already carry around 2 cellular devices to consider carrying one!
I know the Z10 will make a dent in the market. ..IT HAS TO……this is it. Blackberry had to put out the best product to stay
alive and they did.
I think the the BlackBerry Z10 will make a huge dent in the Indonesian smartphone market. They love BBM in SE Asia!
I for one am hoping that Blackberry does very well and forces the industry in producing even better products. I’m in for the plush toys lol but I wouldn’t mind trying out the BB
Frankly speaking, Blackberry will not do that great because the consumer is just on the verge of being exhausted with touch technology and the blackberry 10 is a good touch screen phone. The point being that its a good phone but its a few years late, had blackberry launched this 2 years ago they would have made a real impact and things would be different. Right now only those concerned with security or companies that have existing contracts with blackberry will adapt the new blackberry phones, the common user is divided between Samsung and Apple. Blackberry is going to have a tough time.

I prefer the new Blackberry Z10 because of the unique phone experience. I also truly think that having a phone with 2 personas will help persuade people who carry two devices to make the switch
I prefer the iPhone 5 because of all the great apps available.
The z10 is finally catching up with the pack and all those loyal BB users will think they have something to brag about but the iphone5 is the best
Hmm. After watching the BB unveiling I like the way you can navigate apps. Will it unseat Apple? No way.
Love how BB10 was released everywhere first before the US. Finally a change…
iPhone will blow it out of the water, thanks in one part to iCloud…Offers the same services Blackberry charges a fortune for (or now, just doesn’t offer) for free. And Apps. And familiarity. And the assurance that the company won’t be bankrupt in 18 months, so support is guaranteed…Oh wait, it was one reason, so I’ll just stick with iCloud.
iPhone wins hands down. Other complementary Apple products PLUS all those apps, which also can be shared on all those other complementary products.
I think the Z10 will keep the Blackberry users away from iPhone.
I believe the iPhone is currently a much better phone moreso because of the wide variety of apps available. Should blackberry get an influx of apps I think it will have a huge impact on the smartphone market as it is a solid phone with some cool features.
I think the iPhone 5 because it has so many apps available
Why will the BBZ10 regain market share? The new BlackBerry Balance feature, that’s what. It’s what Apple should have thought of when it went after the corporate scene. It will let all those people who had to buy a new phone for personal use because the company-issued phone was too restricted to instead just stick with the company-issued phone and save some hard-earned cash in the process.
I think Blackberry will make a dent in the smartphone market because the Z10 is a very different blackberry. I know I want it as time shift, the hub and a new app store are worth checking out this phone.
I can honestly say I was a BIG #teamblackberry fan until I came across quite a few issues and since switching to iPhone 5 I’ve had nothing but a positive experience. I’ve not tried the new Blackberry Z10 so far but have checked out the specs and it’s pretty impressive!
iPhone 5 is better overall for the vast amount of developers by their side and the amount of amazing apps they offer. HOWEVER, should Blackberry start developing as many great apps as the iPhone (already was blown away by Story Time and a couple others I’ve seen so far), then there is definitely some solid competition there!
Although I have never owned a device by RIM (pardon me — BlackBerry), my previous two cell phones were made by LG. BOTH of them, at some point, started to have a problem where I would be in the middle of using the device and it would spontaneously turn off and turn back on. Luckily, my eyes have been opened wide and I am in love with my iPhone 5. I love that there is a variety of Apps from which to choose, that I can finally rely on my phone, and I can wake up to a favourite song from my alarm. All in all, I am extremely satisfied with my choice, and I have had no doubts about switching. I have been trying to convince my mom to get a touchscreen phone, but she is hesitant — perhaps a free BlackBerry Z10 will pique her interest! I believe BlackBerry is getting back on its feet, slowly returning to its former glory. Winning this will make her day (figuratively, yes; I realize the results are released only next week)!
I also want to finally thank the guys at iphoneincanada for the great work they are doing: I check this feed every day because it posts news about Apple and other technology giants all in one place, and I cannot seem to find the same sort of news anywhere else on the web.
iPhone has a better app library. BB10 just brings Blackberry up to parity with the competition.
I haven’t ever owned a cell phone yet, but I think being a Canadian I would say the BlackBerry Z10, because I want to support a Canadian Company.
Why I personally like to believe the iPhone 5 is better than the Z10 is because the iPhone has become the iconic status symbol. The iPhone is not just a phone, it’s “THE” phone to have. Ever since it has came out alongside it’s one of a kind marketing, it’s been unstoppable. Having an iPhone is having luxury in the palm of your hands, something Blackberry and the Z10 will never be able to out due.
The iPhone by far one of the easiest smartphones to learn to use with the intuitive OS, multitude of applications and connectivity throughout Apple service it’s a phone that gets the job done.
The Z10 looks like it just played catch up with the smartphone world; where as they premium design, feel and capabilities of the iPhone still outshine.
The iPhone, it’s simple, sleek, efficient and reliable.
