Confused and frustrated. Is buying BlackBerry Z3 is the best solution for me? Please give opinions

D

I'm currently using Gionee GPad G3. And for 512MB Ram, browser keeps crashing. My regular uses are Jetaudio player (for eq and bass boost settings), MX player and Firefox (I always use it). My last phone was Lumia and I had really problems for apps (well I'm not an app-guy). And connecting the android to pc, it always is slow, and hangs most of the time. I use GPS while biking and NO! I don't play games.
I have never used blackberry. Used android a few, and really don't like to root and remove all the bloatware to free the RAM.
The necessity is not too hot, fast enough web browsing and listening to music at the same time. I heard the BlackBerry Z3
has no removable battery, so if it hangs( I don't really expect to but if), I won't be able to switch it off and off?
Also, do I have to pay for any blackberry services? Don't want to buy cheap or too costly phones (I don't like companies without brand- values anymore). Another question to ask is, does BlackBerry Z3 video player support most of the video formats (avi, mkv, mp4, flv etc and 720p/1080p)?

Thanks in advance.

LOL!!!! dude thats misinformation
Blackberry 10 phones no longer need special plans like BIS(blackberry internet service-Rs400 a month for older BBs) or BES,
ALL regular plans now work on Blackberry 10 handsets,no need to buy special plans anymore
Blackberry is also no longer a "business-only" phone
I have a Z10 as a backup phone

[MENTION=128517]d3b[/MENTION] getting a android phone makes more sense than BB since it is flexible.

I was not saying Z3 is value for money
I was talking about Blackberry 10 in general
personally I dont like the Z3,I think the Z10 is a better buy for a bit more money

Re: Confused and frustrated. Is buying BlackBerry Z3 is the best solution for me? Please give opinio

I would suggest Moto g 2

"normal" user? Dude its all down to user preference,no offense

I own a Z10 as my spare phone,only issues I have are a bunch of apps which need google play services(rare case)
In terms of smoothness,it beats any other android in that budget except maybe One Plus One,that thing is lightning
