- So I was a originally a blackberry user and switch over to iPhone some years now. Looking to come back to the promise land and was looking at the Q10 since sprint isn't giving me any clear sign they are getting the z30. Need some reasons to come back to the promise land.11-07-13 06:42 PMLike 0

- I'm no iHater. I think the iPhone is a great phone and a perfect fit for many people.
You need to assess what you need and want from a phone.
I really like my Q10. I prefer it to the iPhone 5 I carried around for a few months.
I love the keyboard, hub and peak, inter-app sharing (Android style), removable battery, and the solid build. The apps that are most important to me are all on BlackBerry 10 so I gave up very little, and gained much.

- Smaller screen is a downside with the Q, but physical keyboard is a plus. ...Noticed you didn't mention the Z10?! It's truly an amazing device once it's in your hands. Just doesn't get the respect it deserves! The keyboard is much easier than the Iphone5 and is so smooth for browsing, email, txt etc.. find out what things matter most to you, and it will be the right decision! Good luck!

If you have a strong preference for the physical keyboard, easy choice. If, however, you want a mobile media and app device, I believe the iPhone is the better choice. I am lucky to be able to use both.

- I say do it. I had both an iPhone 5 and HTC One and do not regret my Q10 purchase.
Every single app I used on both phones I use on my Q10 (or use a substitution app like the original).
Sideloading is super easy and painless as well.
This phone gives me the entertainment needs and married with the hub/peek feature it keeps me social and fulfilled

I love it, but I'm ready for my iPhone back, to be honest. And, the fact that I still don't have an official 10.2 update is just angering. Loved my 9930, Tour, and EVEN my Storm, but I think it's time to stay fully connected with iTunes, iCloud...all that jazz.
Let me know...11-08-13 11:44 AMLike 0 - my iPhone 4s had better bat life than my Q. Why should I have to spend an extra cost on any second battery or charger kit. I leave the house in the AM and it should last me a work day. It's just upsetting--because I love my Q, but there are too many things still discouraging about having one.11-08-13 11:45 AMLike 0
- iPhone is the best in terms of ecosystem. I have an iPhone 5c and RMBP and they work seamlessly. Now I bought a q10 because I like the design, keyboard and its notification system including LED and hub.
Blackberry and Apple are enterprises with dignity and taste. And that's the reason I like them and dislike Samsung.
But Apple has much better tech innovation maybe influenced by its passed-away co-founder. But anyway, I hope Blackberry can come back to be the 3rd OS in the US before MS integrate windows phone and windows RT. At that time, Blackberry may die. So time is limited and we should support it!11-08-13 12:15 PMLike 0 - I've not experienced the iPhone 5 (or 5s/5c) battery life, but I have to say that my Q10 is on it's third day and just now reaching 25% battery left. It's more than acceptable, although I do also have the battery charger kit (so far unused.) I will have to ask around to the iPhone 5s users I know to see what they're experiencing.11-08-13 12:20 PMLike 0

BB10 Devices ... very cheap for procurement on your local grey market website forums
very cheap for replacement batteries - and you CAN replace them even if your phone is out of warranty.
very easy to re-install the OS ... go BACK or FORTH.
Impeccable browser - any issues on sites is most likely due to the web administrator/designing poorly for any mobile device.
Ability to Upload, RENAME, and easily remove documents/media uploaded to Box or DropBox.
(I'm using an iPhone 5 - 2nd time around for the past month and after my experience with it - i've used iOS for 2yrs prior - I didn't realize just how EASY this is on BB10 vs iOS ...it's mind boggling!)
There is so much more but you'll discover it first hand.
Calendar - VERY easy and legible & precise to read details of such entries ESPECIALLY during a busy day - it's phenomenal!11-08-13 12:29 PMLike 0 - my iPhone 4s had better bat life than my Q.

and for those of you going for days, you must have really light usage or not using push email on the regular. i have gmail, hotmail and exchange. streaming radio. internet. q10 doesn't go for longer than a day at best for my use case.
no brainer for my lifestyle.11-08-13 12:39 PMLike 0 - Loved your Storm? You deserve a loyalty reward! And that 10.2 is not available OTA in US is an embarrassment.iPhone 5, 5s, or 5c? I'd be interested in trading my Q10 with you--ATT..
