Pros

LTE speeds on a BlackBerry Smartphone is great.
Great web browsing.
Expandable storage.
Decent camera.
Great and solid hardware design.
Keyboard is surprisingly good.
Consistent smooth performance.
Lots of included accessories.
Still a great messaging device.
BlackBerry 10 OS looks terrific.
Adds a few of its own signature tools for security and business users.

Cons

Plastic case not premium.
Lack of apps.
UI not for everyone.
Third-party apps leave much to be desired.
New UI tricks don't always pay off.
Battery life is a serious concern.
Tough to remove smudges from the display.
Basic map & voice control apps.
Despite the grown-up look, RIM's new OS is riddled with perplexing omissions and behavioral inefficiencies that wear on you over time.
