    Sunday, delivered to Indianapolis, IN Fedex, this morning hit Murfeesboro, TN, and tonight hit the Fedex Hub in Nashville at 5:33 PM, I expect it to arrive in local area tomorrow Tuesday and in my hands.... Wednesday?!?!?!

    Update: Just received an Amazon notice, to expect Z30 by next Friday!

    I was off Blackberry and running on, Android Lollipop Nexus 4. BB was my first smart phone and had three models of BB before going Android. Just bought a new, White Z30 STA 100-5 for T-Mobile. Been off BB almost two years. T-Mobile says an extra $10 per month than what I'm paying currently. I like the Nexus 4 but it never felt, familiar. I'm hoping the Z30 UI is as comfortable as BB on OS7 was to me, I never felt comfortable using the phone on the Nexus 4, on kitkat nor on new lollipop. Anyway, have no friggin idea where BB is going but I'm coming back.

    I'm sure you'll love the Z30.
    It has an amazing battery life, the screen is great and colours are crisp and clear. The phone has an FM radio, and one of the best antennas (more coverage) on the market.

    I still use Android for my work, but I use my Z30 for my personal life.

    BB10 uses the same data as your nexus 4 so nothing changes. You honestly don't even need to tell them you're switching phones. Just swap the sim cards and go.

    I'm dead serious about not paying the $10. I'm curious if it's a scam that T-Mobile has going now to charge bb10 customers extra because of the falling out with BlackBerry.

    I spoke to a rep over the 611 line. Depends on who you talk to, as when It left BB for Android it was, BB is cheaper to run, now this guy is saying the opposite. anyway, when I get the Z30 in hand I'll be switching it over at the local TMo store and usually they give more honest info. My wife and I are on a family plan and I want to make sure it doesn't mess that up, $90 for two phone, 1000 any time, new unlimited data and text too.

    REALLY! Wow, I'll try that first! Thanks! I like that, one feature of Android was nice, and good for vacation, the 360 degree pics which upload to Google for public viewing.

    If they give you too many problems, switch it to Metro PCS. You'll save a lot especially when you consider taxes.

    Welcome back.

    Blackberry was " cheaper to run " on os7 because of BIS and compression. You could fly with 15 buck data plans easy. Now its not compressed so the data costs the same as other phones.

    The t-mobile rep you talked to has no clue how the new BlackBerry devices work. You don't need the extra plan bull crap for the phone to work.

    I wonder how many customers t-mobile have taken advantage of them because they just listen to what the rep says.

    Your plan shouldn't change at all going from android/iPhone to BB10. Scare tactic gobbledygook, or ignorance. Only reason would be a grandfathered plan, and signing a new contract.

    Welcome back! Like you, I owned BlackBerry phones before I got sucked into the Apple iPhone craze. After 3 years, I've had enough distractions just by having an iPhone. I wanted to be more productive and more connected.

    I was holding out for the BlackBerry Classic but after reading many great reviews and posts on the CrackBerry forums, I decided to go for the Z30!

    Amazing phone and I'm sure you'll love it. Try not to stay on it for too long as I have. When I first got my Z30, I was on it all day, everyday for a week! I guess I was just so eager to learn everything about this great thing called BB10 OS!

    The Rep said I was grandfathered, which I was at one time but when my wife switched to Tmo from ATT so we could get Family plan that ended the grandfathered clause. I like the plans on TMobile and when they started their bring your own phone it was a no brainer. I buy all my phones up front now.

    Changing your plan would change your pricing, but regardless what phone it was. Since you already had changed, there now should be no change.

    Z30 on T-Mobile. Each 611 call varies on support, so please pay attention to learn what info is good or less so.

    When I get a good BlackBerry tech they are really good. When I get a tech reading to learn, still nice, but I have dropped off and called back for a new tech.
