Trying to hold a speaker phone conversation in a slightly noisy area was tough as volume didn’t seem to be high enough. Using the Z10 as a speaker phone fared a little worse. Volume levels were adequate for calls with the phone held up to my ear and signal strength seemed on par with other Verizon phones that I’ve used. Granted I don’t make a lot of calls every day, but no one commented negatively with the way I sounded and I noticed nothing unusual on my end of conversations. I did not have any dropped calls or other call issues during my week long use of this phone. Most of the time I had no problems, but fairly often I did notice some of my touches would go unnoticed. Since the Z10 uses gestures and swipes for navigation instead of buttons, a sensitive touchscreen is a must. It is viewable at almost any angle and is easier to view outdoors in direct sunlight than most phones I’ve tried. The display, while small (compared to my SGS3), is very crisp, clear and has vibrant color. Especially the grippy back cover which I wish I had for my SGS3. It passes my ever popular Gadgeteer squeeze test with absolutely no flexing, creaking, cracking or whimpering. It’s solid and has a bit of heft to it that gives it a quality feel. The top edge has a metal power/wake button, 2nd microphone and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The voice control button can be held down to wake the phone and go straight into the voice control app. Separate metal volume buttons with a play/pause/voice control button in the center are located on the right side of the phone. There’s also a mini HDMI port, but you’ll have to buy a cable if you want to hook the phone up to your TV. On the left side you’ll find a micro USB port that is used to charge and sync the phone with a computer. The back of the phone has a soft grippy micro-dimpled cover that is easy to remove for quick access to the battery, microSD card and SIM card slots. This phone looks very iPhone-like to me due to the squared sides, rounded corners and solid feel in hand. I was sent the black version which you see above with an iPhone 4S and a Samsung Galaxy S III for a size comparison.
