- Howdy!
Currently have a 9930, and am looking at possible upgrade options within the next few months. I like the Q-10, but I have a couple of concerns. The biggest two follow:
- Army Knowledge Online (AKO) email: I get this on my 9930. Does anyone out there with a Q-10 (or Z-10) have AKO email successfully set up on their device?
- One-button speed-dial: I can hold down the "H" key on my 9930, and it will speed-dial home. Does the Q-10 come with that capability, or is there an application out there that enables it?
Those are the two biggest "show-stoppers" that would prevent my upgrading. Here are some other minor concerns:
- Bedside Mode: I use it, along with the alarm clock, quite a bit. Is that feature carried over with the Q-10?
- Answer and hang up with holster.
- Seamless email: My 9930 is a turn-key operation. I plug in email addresses and passwords, and its good to go. Can I expect a similar experience on the Q-10, or is there more "buttpain" involved?
Thanks for taking time to read this, and I look forward to your answers!10-07-13 03:44 PMLike 0 - Howdy!

There is a bedside mode to the clock, but its less feature filled. you can't really customise it too much. You can't set times for it to be active, and you can only really specify no notifications at all, or phone calls only.
Answer and hang up with the holster works fine
Email is pretty straight forward to configure iirc. I wouldn't expect too much trouble10-07-13 04:02 PMLike 0 -
Yes, access those options by opening the phone app, then swiping down from the top bezel to access Settings. Note that this function is disabledwhilewhilst paired to a Bluetooth headset.
Posted via CB10 on Q1010-07-13 04:09 PMLike 0 - While already answered about one key dialing, there is a feature with search I like. When the phone is unlocked, just start to type - call Tom (or email or text) and the info for Tom will come up, click that and it calls ( or goes to the email or text screen).kbz1960 likes this.10-07-13 04:18 PMLike 1
- I don't need to hit number pad before hitting a speed dial. I just hit the phone icon and then the shortcut. Works perfectly and quickly.10-07-13 07:04 PMLike 0
- Do you know what connections the AKO email supports? BB10 will do IMAP and POP without issue.
I did have to lose one account that used Outlook Web Access as a login method. This was a feature of BIS and did not carry over into BB10.
Posted via CB10 on Q1010-07-13 11:05 PMLike 0 - Found this on an Android forum:
If you haven't got it done already, here goes:
1. Launch the Mail App
2. Select Add Account
3. Select Manual setup
4. Enter the IMAP SERVER information (incoming: imap.us.army.mil)
5. Select SSL from the security drop down menu
* The port number will be assigned automatically and ACCEPT or CONTINUE when asked
6. Enter the STMP information (outgoing: mailrouter.us.army.mil)
7. Select SSL from the security dropdown menu
* The port number will be assigned automatically and ACCEPT or CONTINUE when asked
8. Click Finished
That should be it afterward go in account settings and tweak it.10-07-13 11:08 PMLike 0 - I don't have any login info, but I don't see anything that BB10 can't handle. Look like standard IMAP servers with SSL encryption.
Anyone else see anything weird?

As for speed dial, it won't work from the home screen, but if you just hit the phone button on bottom-left of screen, it will open the phone and speed dial works instantly. OP: you'd get used to it pretty fast. I don't think it's any slowere, really.

Would really like to see an improved version of the Q that integrates the charging cradle capabilities of the 99xx series. I don't connect my 9930 to any form of mini-USB except for around once a quarter or so.01-19-14 11:35 AMLike 0 - There is aftermarket cradle but you still have to plug in the side as Q10 does not have those contacts on the bottom for charging. Its sad but in reality I have a rubber case so I plug in and lean it up. No deal breaker for me. I'm guessing that by may this new os is no longer leaked but official
