    Looks like I'm in for another few years at least, but who am I kidding. It's my 4th BB device in 5 years and I. Just. Can't. Quit. You.

    I have a Z10 on Koodo (in Canada). How should I prepare for a seamless transition? Do I have to do anything with Koodo? Backups?

    I currently have 6 gmails (with calendars), 1 yahoo, 1 Outlook/Exchange. I'd like to keep my contacts up to date, but I DON'T want to merge or mix them between accounts.

    Suggestions appreciated!

    I had a Z10 on Rogers in Canada before I upgraded. Make sure your Z10 and Z30 are updated to the same OS. Then use the BB link back up and restore to new device feature (follow the steps carefully). It worked like a charm for me. It saved "EVERYTHING" except android apps loaded on my phone although the files were still there so I could browse to them and easily reinstall them. It even saved my typing preferences on my keyboard. It was truly a pleasure.

    And Congrats! You will love this phone!

    My back-up/transfer did a strange thing and backed up my android apps as well. Not sure how that happened, but saved me some effort!

    And now you wait...

    Haha. When I got my Z30 I did a backup of my Z10 but didn't restore the data to the Z30. Re-added my accounts which had my emails, calendars and contacts, downloaded my apps again, got my android apps again and set up my settings. The only thing to watch is if you don't restore the app data, your saved games and stuff like that won't be restored in your apps.

    Make sure you get up to the latest OS, maybe a leaked OS if you want.

    Thanks everyone. Do I need to do anything special with activating this new phone or do I just swap the sim over?

    Pop the SIM and SD card in, go thru the setup and sign into your BBID, done.

    Man, I've been hunting for "THE" case...confusing as hell.

    My Z10 seems to work well with the flip case. Anyone know if the "BB Leather Flip Case" is basically the same thing or not?

    I also can't seem to find a list of what comes in the Z30's box. I assume the basic headphones and usb wall charger setup? I really have enjoyed the premium charger, but I'm selling that with my Z10.

    You get earphones that double as an FM radio antenna, A high powered charger that I hardly use with detachable USB cord. Regular USB chargers are also fine if you charge while sleeping. I never need to charge during the day.

    This will wipe both the phone and the memory card?

    Make sure your memory card was in an unencrypted state before you you remove it, then physically remove it to be safe. If you want it wiped, you can reformat the SD card. I also had the Z10 holster with magnetic flap and I purchased the larger holster for my Z30. It works great for me.

    I think it's called the leather "swivel holster" not the flip shell and yes I purchased from CrackBerry.

    I have no way to help you other than to suggest that you post this request as a new request in a different area where others more useful than I will see it. This thread was about a new Z30 and is just about finished. I would suggest creating a thread in the BB10 Help section.

    just read your reply - waiting for my Z30 to arrive. When doing the backup of my Z10 do I remove my memory card first? then do the back up? or do the back up with the memory card in? Once back up is done - do i simply place my loaded memory card into the Z30 and then hit restore? Not sure what to do with my memory card - full of images, folders, music videos etc?? Any help would be SINCERELY appreciated!! Cheers...
