After work yesterday my wife got the call that an aging relative had a medical emergency and was rushed to a hospital. She went directly there after work as did several other family members and they were there well into the night. It became a sort of family reunion.

Naturally every one had to use their phones to call and text for various reasons. Over time, one by one, they all ran out of battery, being that they were iPhones, and folks came in a rush and didn't bring their charger.

It turned out that they ended up borrowing my wife's Z30 to make their calls. And this was after she had been at work all day herself without her charger either. When she got home at 3 am she still had around 20 % left on the battery.

Z30, last phone standing.

Sorry about your family member but good phone story. I charge my z30 every other day, it's a beast!

BlackBerry... Now and Forever.

Firs thing I'd like to say, I recently got a Z30 myself and I'm really excited to actually stress its battery. Being the only BlackBerry user amongst my friends, I feel like I might be doing something like that myself.

Second, I hope that relative is okay.

Every time I see an iPhone user looking for a wall plug to attach themselves to, I simply glance at my Z30 and announce the % remaining. No real boasting, just a statement of fact.
Didn't have much ground to stand on with the Z10....

Wew u said it, I think z30 still the best BlackBerry device on the market now, although battery cause the device a bit heavy, I dont mind

Btw, I read on some news that the BlackBerry slider will become the most expensive of BlackBerry device line

Hope ur family got better

Thanks everyone for the well wishes. She is 86 years old and had a stroke. Now she is sitting up watching TV. Pretty amazing.

And here's a big Cheers to the mighty Z30 for helping out at the moment of need.

Wow! That's a great story and it tells you what is important. Did your wife get any comments about her Z30 from the I sheep side of her family? (Don't worry I have I sheep in my family too).

Great story!
