Some things you’ve just got to see to believe, especially when comparing smartphones. If someone was to tell you the next Blackberry would go head to head with the iPhone 5, chances are, you would roll your eyes. Fortunately, German blog Telekom-Presse filmed an unreleased BlackBerry Z10 next to an iPhone 5 to prove Blackberry is fighting back harder than ever.
The video’s in German, but you can tell immediately that the BlackBerry excels at voice dictation more than Siri, who didn’t get it quite right. For email, “BlackBerry offers more options and different access,” says the reporter, including the ability to open messages with a simple tap.
The two phones also went up to bat on Twitter, incoming text messages, toggling between apps and deleting old apps. Clearly, the reporter’s on BlackBerry’s side, so you might want to watch the video and judge for yourself.
RIM is set to announce the first devices running its new BlackBerry 10 operating system at an event on January 30.
UPDATE: Blackberry has announced they will release the phone in Vancouver on February 5th 2013. It will hit the US about a week after.
