    That depends. If those apps are really important to her and there are no suitable alternatives on BlackBerry 10, then the iPhone would probably be a better fit for her. She could also consider Android if you're really against Apple, since the Play Store is vast enough to most likely have suitable alternatives for any apps she likes.

    It's kind of a shame that apps aren't portable from platform to platform, the more apps I purchase on my blackberry, the more likely I am to stay with BlackBerry, ad it would cost a fair bit to repurchase, unfortunately this holds true with other platforms, people who have spent a lot of money on iPhone apps will consider this when the decide to purchase a new phone.

    BlackBerry has mentioned that they will be getting all the major apps and besides that I personally think that this phone is really one of the best phones available. So you'll be doing her a favor

    Get her the IPhone, she will be way happier with that. I don't see the apps coming to BB10 anytime soon.

    Your sister has told you what she wants (iPhone) and why she wants it (access to her previously purchased apps). It is her birthday, not yours.

    In my opinion the only way getting a Z10 for her would be at all acceptable is if you found out what apps she wants and needs, checked and confirmed their availability on the Z10, and purchased these apps for her with the Z10. This is possible, but I fear unlikely at this point. Hopefully BB10 takes off and in 6 months or so this will be a realistic option.

    Regarding support. If she can use her iPod, she will be able to use an iPhone without difficulty.

    If she wants the iPhone you should get that for her, but let her try out for Z10 for a couple days. Then you'll be buying yourself a new one. Lol

    Then you can buy a different color Z10 and swap the battery covers and make yourself that oreo Z10 like Kevin did...win-win!

    Your Z10 does what you want it to, the iPhone does what she wants it to. If SHE wants the iPhone then get HER the iPhone.

    If she has an iPod, she can till use your iPod and a z10. And have all the apps she wants, best of both worlds, she gets invested in bb and when the apps come, she can discard her iPod.

    Hence why BlackBerry is supporting HTML5, not as rich a tool as native tools, but theoretically would be cross platform, I believe that is true, it please correct me if I am wrong.

    If you were asked what you wanted for your bday, said "Z10" with reasons for this (peek/flow etc) and your brother gave you an iPhone, would you be pleased with that?

    Yep so says the guy with a HTC phone LOL.

    Your right all these devs saying they are bringing their apps over to BB10 are straight out lying to us, i mean whatsapp and skype are just teasing us arent they?? and they dont have any plans to bring their apps to BB10.

    Go away you stupid little troll with your HTC
