    My wife is a 9930 user and she needs to upgrade this weekend because of battery issues. She loves the physical keyboard. She plays no games and hardly uses any apps.

    She needs:
    Google maps
    Waze
    Whatsapp
    Kakao Talk
    Skype
    Instagram

    If I get her the Q10 today, will all these apps work for her? I am ok with sideloading so count that in as a possibility. I am using all these apps today on my Z10 (OS 2354) but I need to make sure before I get her the Q10 today.

    If these apps do not work, then I need to get her the Z10 or latest Iphone.

    Thanks in advance.

    You may not need to sideload Google maps either. The bundled maps are quite good for a lot of things but that is controversial.


    Same with my wife. I havr a z10 and she has a q10, upgraded from a torch in her case. She loves it.

    I thought the sideloaded Instagram does not really work on the Q10 because of the dimensions? Something about not all buttons being available? Or did I remember that incorrectly?

    We definitely need Google maps. We don't use it for the navigation. Google maps is primarily useful for searching for places geographically using keywords.

    It does seem to work, but there might still be issues.

    Instagram is a little cramped on the Q10 compared to my Z10...like you can't see the entire picture without scrolling..

    I think it would be pretty helpful if some sideloaded Instagram Q10 users could post a screenshot or two showing the mentioned issues.

    Research the Waze - there may be issues w/it crashing. I believe it to be a ported / side-loaded app. I am waiting for Waze as a native app as well to use on my Q10.

    Waze works great on z10 with 2354 os.

    Thanks for the pics of instagram. Does it just look that way or does it make it difficult to use too?
