Can the new smartphone boost BlackBerry to former glory?

BlackBerry's (BB 3.21%) new Z10 smartphone has been widely touted as a critical step in the company's efforts to regain its former glory against Google's (GOOGL 1.27%) Android platform and Apple's (AAPL 0.64%) iOS. How does the device perform?

Motley Fool analyst Rex Moore used the phone for several weeks and offers his review in the following video. With the help of tech experts Andrew Tonner and Robert Brokamp, Rex argues that the Z10 is a great device, but it won't be the product that's going to drive a significant number of new customers to BlackBerry.
