I'm pretty die hard android (both tablets and phones) but I run a BB too as I don't find either of the others can really handle work related use nearly as well. My company tested moving us to Apple but in the end every tester agreed, the technology just wasn't as good or reliable. That new Z10 seems to be really built well. I found the "feel" of the phone was superior to any others I tried. I'm not yet due for an upgrade but will surely consider it when the time comes.

I like the new BB10 but I have both an Iphone4 and Ipad2(64) and love the ease that they are to use my biggest complaint is the proprietary issue with apple no flash.

But I know several people who have the new BB and love it easy to use and very user friendly.

Have had I phones before. But there is just something about the z10 that feels great.

I still have to read up on the requirements for side loading, I know they were for an older version of android apps, but there was supposed to be up to jelly bean support on an update coming soon.

One thing I really have been impressed with is how fast BlackBerry (no more RIM) has come out with fixes. there were no major problems but a lot of little things, and a lot of things that came from people saying "I would really like to see it do this, or that" so it shows BlackBerry is making good on support and listening to the users.

I got the Z10 a little while ago for work after I drove over my bold 9900. Im a little old school BB user I guess cause I was missing my keyboard at first although Im getting used to it. BB is coming out with a Q10 with keyboard next month.

On a side note.....what is the deal with so many apps any way. I've tried some and ya there ok but do we really need a million apps that 95% are useless.

I currently have the S3, and I do love it.... But man do I ever miss having a keyboard. My old blackberry torch was the best combo between touch screen and keyboard. I kinda miss its cumbersome booty. Something about big fingers and a touch screen are just annoying lol.

Haven't heard much about the Z10, but good to hear that people are enjoying it. I would hate to see a canadian company go under.

see I never got into the Bberry till the storm, so I never used the physical keyboard phones and even with my torch I never used the pop out phone pad.

One of the strong points on the z 10 is the keyboard, the reviews all have it as the best onscrean keyboard implementation on the market, and after using it for one day I do agree. (i have big fingers, and my torch would pee me off, but this one is heaven)

to give you an idea on how the Z10 is doing, in three weeks it had out sold any other blackberry model and that was before the release in the USA. there stock before the release was about 6 bucks, now is close to 22, and with the American release could go higher fast.
