- Hi folks, I've just swapped my s2 for an BlackBerry Q10. This phone looks sturdy and feels robust and the 5-key physical Qwerty keyboard just sooo cool. My friend gave one of his mpj Q10 battery works perfectly so I am happy with the battery life. It is brand new so am loading up my usual apps, but since it's my first BB device and wondered what Apps and stuff are the 'must-haves' for BlackBerry? Thanks12-21-13 10:05 PMLike 0

- Welcome! And glad that you are enjoying the phone!
As Diego mentioned, let us know what you would primarily like to use it for; e.g., productivity, games, messaging, and so on. Based on that, people can recommend apps.
Be warned: the Q10's keyboard is very addictive :-).

THE must have is a 10.2.1 leak...IMHO

As far as being well versed, no one starts that way. I spent my first real period of time around here learning how to load the awesome (sometimes cruddy) leaks that were out at the time, how to remove/edit vendor files, edit xml's for more themes, and how to recover after I bricked it...again LOL!!! It's a learning curve that some will take, some will pass, and some will miss. That was how I learned, that was how I started making themes, that was how I started helping other folks out that hadn't learned yet.
The only thing I popped in here for initially was to express my love for 10.2.1. How does that turn into being "at the very least irresponsible"? What is it at most by the way? If the OP wants to know more, they'll search, or read, or ask questions. If they don't know how, and they aren't willing to learn how, then yes, it is irresponsible of me because I'm not responsible for them or their device or for feeding their pets.
TLDR: chill out, help the fellow CB'er, don't hyperbolize, and remember the times we've calmly helped each other out in the past

Though, I have had a Holster with every BlackBerry I have every had.

OP: read around the leaks area. The good, the bad, and the ugly are all over there.

And don't make me read long posts, make me search for the meaning of some letter combo just to find out you didn't expect me to read it all in the first place...
Posted via CB1012-22-13 08:01 AMLike 0 - Now this is an excellent idea. Battery life in a Q10 should not be much of a problem but a mobile charging solution for when you need extra juice in critical times (which is always the case where extra juice is needed) sure should be taken into consideration!
If you had posted this instead of saying 10.2.1 is a must have for a person that just joined BB10, you sure would not have gotten my previous remark (which I still stand by).

Ganglecat: sorry to derail, I'd also suggest searching for the full user manual from www.blackberry.com for your current OS. Most of this information is also in the "Help" application on your device. Some of the features in BlackBerry 10 are kinda hidden
Apps that are available from BlackBerry World that I've liked include BeMaps (taps into GMAPS and has keyboard shortcuts), Apollo (taps into Pandora and plays no adverts), and Password Keeper (made by BlackBerry). Other apps that I would recommend are android at the moment and would require a bit more work
For accessories, SanDisk Ultra class 10 MicroSD. I plan on getting a BlackBerry leather holster and battery charger bundle myself.

BlackBerry Protect is good
Snap should be sideloaded on a leak
Other than that, the best of breed apps for specific functions are probably different than on your S2. Resist the desire to install the same stuff you had before... BB10 has a surprising amount of function baked into it (compared to android). Give that a try first12-22-13 12:57 PMLike 0 -
The PlayBook's charger has some mixed reviews around here I've noticed. Some say it's ok some say no. If nothing else, avoid cheap no name chargers and make sure it pumps out the correct power if you choose to run something other than the OEM that comes in the box. For myself, I have a bunch of Apple cubes laying around that run 1000 mAh, which charges a bit faster, and work perfectly. I'll say one thing about Apple, they make good hardware http://www.righto.com/2012/05/apple-...ality.html?m=1
For the sdcard, keep in mind that 64GB needs to be formatted correctly. Easy to do though http://m.crackberry.com/using-64gb-m...-10-smartphone

BB10 uses "Remember" to integrate your phone with the Calendar. And Remember works with Both Notes and Checked, so your notes and task integrate with the Calendar.
