James Elphick, creative director at Guerrilla Zoo, explains why he couldn’t run his busy arts organisation without a Z10
PRODUCTION
Q How smart is the Z10 smartphone? I have had a BlackBerry Z10 for six months and it’s been a very positive experience. I feel more free and in control than ever before. I can instantly check my social media, email, text and various apps using the BlackBerry Hub – which I find incredibly useful and fast. I can contact anyone, any way, all in one place.
CLIENT
Q What are the main tasks you use your BlackBerry for? I use my phone as my portable office to connect with clients, network with artists and performers, liaise with my production crews and remain on top of my communications. In my downtime, I like to read articles, watch video clips and laugh at the occasional grumpy cat photo – they are the mighty overlords of the web. Q What are your favourite features? The clever automatic text swish is a great time saver and also the photo Time Shift feature is a powerful photo-editing tool that helps you capture the right photo at the first attempt. Q How important is a swift, speedy service to you? Speed is very important to me and the Z10 handles itself well, streaming media and downloading/uploading files in superfast time. And it’s so easy to find what I’m looking for, such as files, contacts and messages, just by typing what I’m looking for into the Universal Search.

Q How has the new BlackBerry 10 OS changed the way you use a phone? It has streamlined my usage. Instead of clicking each app to open, load and read, everything is there at the swoop of a finger. It means I don’t waste precious time. It’s all easy access.
BBC iplayer, free Watch and listen to BBC TV and radio programmes from the last seven days on BBC iPlayer. Add shows to your favourites and browse programmes by Scheduled, Featured or Most Popular.
Q And has BBM helped you stay in touch with friends and family? It feels like the world has opened up since BBM welcomed non-BlackBerry people. I like Group Chat, which allows me to have virtual meetings with business associates. Also some of my BlackBerry friends live abroad and with BBM Voice I can quickly turn a text into a chat using wifi. I also love switching to BBM Video and having a proper face-to-face catch-up. I’ve video chatted via 4G to friends and artists in Japan and America without any problems. The quality was faultless.

Q Are you tempted to try the Q10? I’m very happy with my Z10 but I’ve heard that on the Q10 the classic QWERTY keyboard has been re-engineered for effortless typing. I do email a lot. But then you also get those sharp, vibrant images thanks to a 3.1in Super AMOLED touchscreen. Ok, I guess I’m tempted.
