Here is a hint for itunes and album art, add the art manually in iTunes and it will attacdirectly to the file. That works better than having iTunes find it.
Art for purchased music is fine though. Just some problems with inported CDs and vinyl I have done.

As for the cloud drive support, I really recommend one app called Files and Folders, which currently has support for the major cloud drives out there -including Skydrive, and it is a sleek native app that I don't regret spending the money for.

Hello all, first post and I just had a couple of specific questions for current Z10 users - mostly centring around the music player.

1. Does this play music encoded in AAC?

2. Does this play back gaplessly (I have a number of mixed/live albums and some where they are produced to have small segues between tracks)?

3. Is music artwork easy to correct on the phone if incorrect?

4. Is the Facebook app useable? I know until it was natively coded, that the Android FB app was utterly dreadful.

5. Is there a built in "note" app, preferably with password encryption?

6. Does it play nicely with GMail/Outlook.com/Skydrive?

7. Is there an in-private browser mode?

8. Can it sync Google Contacts (big hope - not expecting a yes)?

9. Does it have the Dots game lol?

Sorry to bomb with questions - I do like the look of what I've seen so far, but these things aren't really covered in reviews.

Thanks in advance guys.

On number 8 I helped a new colleague set up his Z10 last week and heard him say 'ooo, hope it'll sync my Google contacts.' 2 or 3 minutes later I heard him say 'wow! That was fast! Yep, they're all here! Fantastic. That's really good!' so the answer is yes!

Feel it, Swipe it, Love it. BlackBerry Z10...

when you throw music onto your phone/mem card just make sure your artists are in separate folders.. i had a "various artist" folder that has all different artists in it and that messed with the album art

This is why it is best to attach the art directly to the file. This problen then gkes away.

Thanks so far chaps - I can't wait to order my new Z10.

Can't wait to wave goodbye to Android

If you don't mind me asking what android device did you have before and what compelled you to want to switch to a Z10?

Facebook app works fine but the Facebook app messaging is buggy and doesn't work most of the time but it will work on the BlackBerry social media bar which I use most of the time

Sony Xperia z, not great. Unbelievable amounts of bloat ware, bad keyboard, ok camera. Just tired of it. Very resource hungry apps. Sony OS meddling etc.

My main phone use is email, texting, what's app and heavy browser use. Minimal apps, seriously - just amazon and maybe 1 or 2 others (so few in fact, I'm struggling to name any others).

Anyway it's official - ordered my sim-free z10 an hour ago, expedited next day delivery. I'm gonna be a happy boy tomorrow

That's great to hear! I'm sure you'll love your Z10. I think you should consider putting the 10.2 leak on it

You won't regret it. Just moved from Android 2.3 / 4.0 - have almost forgotten what it is to download apps, the onboard software is that good.

Lots to learn, is getting 10.2 on there tough? Does it void anything? I know people unlock Android boot loaders to get unofficial OS versions on their phone but it usually wipes out the warranty...

I'm actually not sure about that. A Lot of people have done it and there hasn't been any comment on that. BlackBerry Link has the option to restore your device to the current carrier os so you should be able to hide the fact that you were running an unofficial os lol. But it's not too hard if you read all of the directions for the leaks. There's even a video walk through I believe

It isn't tough, just head over to the "leaked OS" forums. People will help you and there are a ton of tutorials. It does void it, but you can just as easily reset the OS and download from link. It gets easy once you get the hang of it.

Glad to hear you went with the Z, as posted earlier the 10. 2 is amazing so definitely load it.

It is very simple, have something like 7zip or Win zip for the autoloader.

No its simple to load a leaked OS the leaked OS's are made by BlackBerry so no it doesn't void the warranty. Just follow the instructions and enjoy all the benefits of 10.2.
