    Just switched back from my iPhone
    http://forums.crackberry.com/android...rrerid=3838165

    Got a new transform case & set of BlackBerry original head phones.

    And Loaded up Open Camera (like it better than Camera 360) from the play store.

    With the normal reasons why BlackBerry is awesome (hub, keyboard, peek, work integration). I have to say this is the best.

    I agree that the Z10 is still stellar even after 2+ years.

    I love my Z10 for one sole reason: It's unique like me! The specifications are still relevant for a 2 year old device and the OS is perfect for my needs. Other than native apps, it trumps iOS.

    I agree. Adding Google Play has been a winner. The new accessories are fun. Somebody commented on how nice the BlackBerry logo looked on the case. Then the normal discussion of why I still use BlackBerry kicked off.

    I have a passport and a Z 10. Maybe overall the Passport does more than the Z10 but there are multiple issues with the Passport and no problems with Z10 at all.

    I hear you. Have to charge often but that really isn't a big deal with the standard charger ( have collected so many over the years).

    one item I forgot how much I enjoyed is typing and swiping with one hand.

    I over two spare batteries and a changing bundle on hand for that battery issue and love my z10 as well. But from what I keep hearing I should really add Google play.

    Cobalt's solution is easy to install and works awesome. Combining the benefits of BlackBerry and the updated Android apps has made the best mobile phone experience. I've never been tied to Google or Apples ecosystem, so the current setup is real nice.

    Kind of miss imessage but only the occasional video calls.

    Google hangouts is a great replacement for those video calls. I use it on my tablet and will on my phone as well as soon as I get Google set up on it

    Does adding to trashcan uninstall or delete the app? I want to free the space on device

    I usually remove Android apps via the Device Monitor. I think its the "Storage" or "Memory" tab that lists all of the apps installed on the phone. If you select the desired app, the next screen should give you an option to delete. That's the way I do it anyways.

    Since loading 10.3.1.2726 the battery seems better to me. It was anemic when I first got it about two months ago, but better since loading 10.3.

    I gave it a try with Cobalt's tools but couldn't get hangouts to fully function.

    I'm still in love with my Z10 after more than 2 years. Still smooth and fluid.

    It's been a couple weeks now having Google play loaded and have to say the iPhone is in the drawer. The fun stuff (especially for the kids) was honestly missing from the BlackBerry. The z10 with Google Play is awesome.
