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.

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.

The thing I found funny is when BB released BB10 in Canada first the Americans were hella upset they had to wait a month for the US release a lot of of my American friends had lots to say about that. Most didn't even know it was a Canadian company.

speed is no comparison, I have been bogging it down like crazy today, remember the hour glass, "leave me along I am thinking" symbol, no more of that, the new QNX software is built for true multitasking and it does it with out even trying. as for phone speed, the fastest blackberry was a 3G, the new ones are LTE so capable of much much faster downloads.

if you have to have the physical keyboard I think the Blackberry Q10 is being released in April but it is more like the blackberry bold in style. smaller screen (still high def though) I sugest going and trying the Z10 and type on it in the store for a bit, if your getting older like me the bigger screen is nice
