Compared to Android and iOS mobile operating systems, Blackberry 10 focuses more on workflow and true multitasking, allowing easy copy and paste between programs, something which the other mobile systems continue to lag behind on. Further, the Hub allows all connected accounts from multiple email providers, text messages, phone calls, etc. to all appear in a single view, along with intuitive quick actions to reply or delete messages or view only unread messages. The swipe and peek functions allow users to quickly view (or "peek") at the Hub from any program that is already open so that interruptions in workflow are minimum. Blackberry is also secure and provides encryption on communications in and out of the mobile device. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Blackberry 10 is essentially a mature operating system. This does not mean it is polished and feature complete, but rather that updates not longer focus on adding new features but moreso on security going forward. Further, the app availability is limited and continues to shrink over time, meaning that many useful apps including banking apps will not be compatible with Blackberry 10.

Blackberry 10 is the operating system that Android should have been. It is secure reliable and easy to use. Unfortunately it was marketed poorly, was too late to market, so never became popular enough to be widely supported,
The BlackBerry Hub makes emails and messages easy to manage. The operating system is very secure, Once you get used a few differences in operation it is as easy to use as iOS or Android.
The system is not bloated, and works well with a slower processor.
It will even run many Android apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is not a full Android System, and apps that require Google Play will not work.
There are many apps that are not available, or if they are don't work correctly as they were not designed for BlackBerry 10. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's a fluid continuation of the experience presented in BB5; with activesync support. It's a fairly versatile OS for business users. The BB classic devices at very least make amazing mobile hotspots - the battery life is amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It was very clearly an OS designed by engineers - who made the logical choice - a stable, efficient operating system. It's just never caught on in the developer world, so consequently has never had much developed for it.
Most importantly, the BB 10 handsets aren't compatible with the BB 5 server. It's a massive culture shock for the users Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The gesture based interactions seem like it should be a no-brainer on any mobile device once you use it. It allows quick one handed operation to take a quick peek at messages without having to do any awkward side swipes or button presses. The Hub is simply amazing - integrating all messaging apps into one area, which eliminates the need to pop into separate apps to check messages from different platforms. Notification profiles are also second to none; allowing different and granular settings for different environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Unfortunately due to some poor decisions with the app ecosystem, apps never flourished enough to keep the platform alive. The lack of apps and support of other vendors is really apparent when trying to do anything that isn't mail related. Circumventing Google's hold on the app market by shipping an android runtime didn't bode so well when Google essentially enforced Google Play enabled apps which basically only work on the android OS.

The best attributes of BB10 are the multi-tasking ability (multiple apps open at once and ability to switch through them) and Blackberry HUB - both increase productivity for the user. Another benefit is the feeling of good quality enterprise security for emails and communications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We found that the operating system can be easily slowed down. Startup (boot time) takes FOREVER on any BB device (newer and certainly older). There have not been many recent updates to this OS, which makes me think that BB isn't interested in continuation of this OS. They seem to be moving towards providing Android-based OS on their new devices. Would like to see more OS support / updates from BB. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The BB10 OS is great for enterprise needs. It is secure, encrypted, and incredible efficient, allowing users to respond to messages without leaving apps or other documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The OS is extremely limited, particularly in the apps you can put on the phone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
what I really like is that there was a very good face wash over other versions of blackberry. gestures are really well implemented which creates a good user experience and different.
another very good is the preview of the minimized application that gives us a relevant info of what you do luck with that.
as I said Antério gestures to access the hub backberry very good.
deletion of the words of a message by this great swipe.
another thing I like is that where one learns to estimate places the finger to write a letter and misspelled and sabra to the next letter I wanted to push, I like the heat sensor Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
one of the things I do not like are the suggestions when writing a message would be better to place a horizontal list above.
configuaracion little in the section of the camera
Contact the application is very simple maybe a nicer design will not fall ill, as well as the application of maps should be put on a better: D Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Visually pretty, but that's about where it ends. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Clunky animations, slow response time, playing catch up with newer OS designs by competitors while still being stuck in the past. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I really like Blackberry OS. It is simple, clean, and full of features for someone who is busy. BBM is great, and the Blackberry hub is absolutely amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The simple lack of 3rd party apps completely ruins any chance this OS has of being my first choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
