Just curious.

I saw a post from the other thread that you can side-load Google Maps in the Z10. Im also curious as to when will Google Maps be officially available.

I'm in Canada and got mine one day ahead of launch

**Sadsfan** · 02-04-2013, 04:06 PM

Got my white Z10 on Saturday and I'm loving it. Yeah, there's a few things that need improving but that makes waiting for updates exciting! Also, as I was in the first 250 to buy from phones 4u I got a free 64gb playbook. Brucey bonus!

Hey!

Canada here.. got my Z10 1 day early... love good contacts on the business side! Will play a lot with it tonight and let everybody know my findings.. definitely nice touch to it and also light.. i did see some hotness in the backplate.. but it isn't the battery.. seems to be more the hardware located under the metal portion(right under micro-SD slot) that seems to run a bit hot. Hopefully a couple of little tweaks in the software will make it run a tad cooler.

Excited for sure. For the people getting it tomorrow.. i don't think you will be disappointed

I wonder if they're going to do this for the US launch?! If so, I think I'm definitely in.

Got my Z10 today and boy it has blown me away!!!

**Maseroche** · 02-05-2013, 12:42 AM

I'm from Bahrain and I got my Z10 last night! can't be any happier with it. It far exceeded my expectations and let's hope that it continues to do that.

**Crisdean** · 02-05-2013, 04:44 AM

Yeah it's a lovely phone and has been drawing a lot of attentions from onlookers, store staff etc. Pretty nice device and the keyboard really is something else! Love it. Now waiting for the killer apps to arrive.

Got mine last week too, after having an argument in a CPW location coz they wouldn't sell it to me w/out a contract (they had 4 in store)!
After calling CPW main number the lady ensured me that they should sell it sim free, and she apologized, etc... I also filled out a complain over the phone.
She finally manage to find 1 more piece at another location; of course I took the rest of the day off and drove directly to get the phone (they would not reserve it for me over the phone).
Have been used iphone 3gs for the last 2 years, which I disliked sooooo much!!! Worst phone I've ever had!!! Really can't understand why people like that $hitty thing! Anyway, after a "break" of 2 years (even though I was using my bb as a personal phone), I feel alive again!!!
THANKS BB!!!

**shabbs** · 02-05-2013, 06:50 AM

Today is the day!

**tp2386** · 02-05-2013, 07:23 AM

I'm getting one today too. What carrier does my friend have to get the phone from for me to use on AT&T here in the states?

**kendes64** · 02-05-2013, 07:33 AM

As a former BlackBerry fan (9000,9900 were my fav) and current Apple fan (iPhone 5, Mac currently)... Im filled with jealousy

lol! BlackBerry 10 is definitely the best OS (Hardware shortcomings aside) for me! The Peak feature, unified inbox, gesture based os, early reports of a great keyboard are all things I want on a smartphone... all things the iPhone 5 lacks! Even with that I wouldn't switch out my iPhone 5 just yet tho.. Gaming, Pictures and Videos, CRUCIAL apps also are a huge part in keeping me away from the Z10 right now.. probably the biggest reason! The iPhone 5 is just a beast internally as well, metal and glass finish, BEAUTIFUL screen! LOL Anywaysss still... Ill be getting my hands on that Z10 as long as everything holds up and it gets extra app support! Ill prob even get one down the road if it doesnt get app support anyway lol!

Welcome to the forums!

**mcmolineux** · 02-05-2013, 09:13 AM

Is there any carrier branding on the Bell, Rogers or Telus Canadian phones?

**NewfieCheesehead** · 02-05-2013, 09:32 AM

First one to get one from Virgin Mobile in Newfoundland.

Spent the first hour showing the guy at Virgin how it works, it was his first time seeing one out of the box. He kept saying "oh wow, I wish i could do that on my Iphone," and he kept calling over the other sales guy (who owns a S3) and showing him the cool stuff it can do. I think I might have sold one to the salesman.

**BriniaSona** · 02-05-2013, 09:38 AM

20 more cold minutes for me.

**jordandub** · 02-05-2013, 09:39 AM

Girl in work just got one so pinched it for a bit to have a play around...really cool phone, surprisingly thin and light. The swiping works great (like the PlayBook), the colour and screen resolution looks amazing.

I was going to wait for the Q10 but after using a Z10 for 10 minutes I'm sold!

**jesse_h** · 02-05-2013, 09:39 AM

I got mine this morning at the official Rogers launch event. Thor and Nadir (CEO of Rogers) were there. The CB team (Kevin, Blaze and Simon) were also there.
