The side benefit is that it is also a great media device (great screen and awesome audio quality, very good camera), and can play games quite well.
I could care less about apps. I have a BlackBerry because I need to get things done. I don't understand people's facination with apps. If I want to play games or watch NetFlix, I have a Nexus 7 and an iPad

There are a few apps I would like to see on the Z10 just because they are convenient to have on a portable device.

Shazam
TuneIn Radio (I know it is available, but it is not a native app)

Other than that, I don't really see a need for apps on a phone. I don't need to watch movies on a phone, I can listen to the radio.

If Apple and Android can handle email, calendaring and messaging as well as a BlackBerry, I would have jumped ship a long time ago. For me, iOS is terrible for anything productive, but to it's credit it is really stable. Android is also terrible at email and it is not stable for me. (I'm using Jelly Bean on Nexus 7, no mods)

The only thing I really miss with the Z10 is the track pad.

I haven't installed it, but I doubt it is. I think it is ported from Android. If it was native, they would have TuneIn Pro available.

Has anyone experienced any noticeable lag yet? Today I was playing a game (CJ: Strike back) when I received a text. The game started to lag so badly that it crashed. I thought this wasn't supposed to happen.

I find when you're playing wih Games & Videos it lags/goes out of sync when you interrupt it.
