I picked up my ATT z10 on Friday and have playing with it non stop since then. I'm fairly happy with it, but here are a few grips and my overall feeling.
things they need to fix...
1. FB, LINKEDIN and app contacts: to me this is a huge problem, when you send a text or add a contact you are taken to a contact list where all your contacts contacts from social media sites are listed even though you opted out of displaying them. This is a huge problem as some people do not want contacts from apps associated with thier phone contacts. I did go into contact settings and turn it off, but this simply hides it rather than remove them from the phone as ohter mobile OS's do. This needs to be fixed ASAP, and believe it or not my biggest gripe.
2. It's rather diffficult to set up gmail contacts\calendar, most users will not want to go through what I had to go through to set it up. I can see iphone users getting frustrated.
3. This is not an issue, but more of a request: I would like to be able to password protect my remember folders.
4. APPS: don't want to beat a dead horse, but the more apps the better. I'm not a big app guy but I do need a few that are not there and need to be there. Again, most people want no part of sideloading. They need to be in the store, port or native. Really miss a few like Temple run, shazam, group me, kakoa tal, hbo go, but I got a tablet for that stuff if I need it. Doesn't mean they don't need to be there.
5. What happened to all the ring tones???
6. when I was on android, I used to be able to save pics from set them as contact pics...was helpful to set pics to each contact without syncing all my contacts. This is more of a personal thing.
7. Camera: overall, good enough for me, there were a few times autofocus wasn't fast enough for me, but not a deal breaker.
Awesome stuff:
picture editing: awesome stuff, probably the best on any phone
time shift feature: i like this feature, hopefully the nokia buyout won't ruin things.
keyboard
HUB
hardware: great size, great feel.
I've got a lot of playing around to do, but overall I give the phone a 7, if it had more apps I would give it close to a 9.
