Are you missing the Black Berry Messaging (BBM) you were so fond of? Now it’s back! This time, you can BBM all you want with video. Add to that the ability to share your screen and I’m blown away.

All this time, Research in Motion – the maker of Blackberry, has been cooking up this meal and it’s unbelievably delicious.

To use BBM with video and screen sharing, tap the small icons that appear when you open BBM.

Intuitive Navigation by Swiping – Feels Smooth after the Learning Curve

Blackberry Z10 has no buttons on its front whatsoever, you have to swipe upwards to unlock it and access the main screen. Swiping down will bring up the menus of a particular app.

You can bring up the on screen keyboard by swiping upwards using two fingers. You can hide it by swiping from the top of the keyboard downward using two fingers too.

Swiping sideways will open up the other apps you opened.

These set of gestures is referred to by Blackberry as Blackberry Flow. It aims to make the use of Smartphones more natural and intuitive.

 A Smart Keyboard – Learns Your Writing Style

Aside from the gorgeous looks of the Blackberry Z10’s onscreen keyboard, it is also a very smart keyboard. After several times of composing messages and typing anything, it learns your writing style and suggests words based on it.

The keyboard is surprisingly accurate contrary to its counterparts on Android and iOS. This might have been a major module in developing the Blackberry 10 Operating System since it is aimed for business use.
