    Please share why you prefer what BB phone, that includes the Q5 but not Z30, over the other(s) and please be as detailed as possible. I ask because I still don't know which one to buy and want to get as much information as possible. Thanks in advance!

    It comes down to basically two things. Screen size and physical keyboard. Choose what's most important to you.

    I prefer the Z because it's a full touchscreen and is still labeled a BlackBerry. I've had BlackBerry's from the first Pearl to the BlackBerry Bold and was actually getting bored of the keypad. I would buy the Q10 but I'm getting the Z30 instead and is on the ropes about buying the iPhone 5S Gold.

    Yep.

    Although I do prefer the Z30 over the Z10.

    I prefer the Z for the screen and the virtual keyboard has me sold.....that said I could not and will not part with my Q.... much like my 9900 9850 combo complimented one another my Z Q combo gives me all I need. Z30 will add a wrinkle Cuz I plan on running all three. I am sure I will continue to favor the Z line though

    Z for the larger screen, except the battery life sucks and I've heard its much better on the Q10.

    I prefer the Q10 over the Z10 for instant actions and shortcuts while browsing.
    Fingers crossed for a Q30: imho only the screen estate makes the Q10 debatable as for everything else the Q10 is more rich and versatile in its interactions with BB10.
    Great phone and i'm making quite some converts (already 4) when i start showing BB10 in action with both touchscreen AND physical keyboards.

    I have the Z10. I just can't go back to a physical keyboard. Plus I prefer a big screen.

    The only thing is I wish you could perform the keyboard shortcuts like you can on the Q...

    I was going to wait for the Q as I was using a BB Tour. Just as the Z10 came available in the US, the screen on the Tour developed a black line.

    So I bought the z10. Never having owned a touch screen phone, I was a bit apprehensive to purchase a z10. But I did and I have never looked back. The virtual keyboard is phenomenal and the screen real estate is a huge advantage in my opinion. Have not tried the Q10 but I am so happy with the Z10 that I don't need to.

    I have both Z10, Q10 and Z30 available.

    I use Z10 for daily use and dont miss the keyboard. When I use the Q10 for testing/demo, I do however get the feeling of "ooohhh... so nice to write on a keyboad". It's a different feeling and I do understand why some people prefer it and have less screen estate.

    I also have a feeling of the Z10 being a better match for modern smartphone apps. Simply because it's closer to the resolutions of the competing platforms.

    Z30 takes my heart though: Big, heavy and solid with a great screen and fantastic sound. It's my favorite toy!

    Z10 for larger screen, great onscreen keyboard that doesn't cramp my thumb joints, larger app selection, price and design.

    I thought I would end up with the Q but I actually went with the Z. For essentially the same reasons as others. I found that my usage tended more toward viewing YouTube and surfing online so I needed the screen real estate of the Z10. Both are amazing phones though.

    Love my Q10 mostly because of the superb build quality and obviously the keyboard. The screen is smallish but excellent, enough for my needs which are communication and reading news (feeds, tweets et al). Coming from a huge Note 2 the handy size of the Q is just a relief :-)

    Z10 as it is easier to use the gestures.
    Also need to side load my banking apps.

    The q is great but the Z just about pips it

    In short...does size matter?

    I know it does for slff. (oops. Wrong thread)

    Lol

    BlackBerry Z...my weapon of choice.

    The Q10 is of high quality build but the Z10 takes it for me because of not only the screen real estate but because I honestly believe that the full joy and power of BlackBerry 10 is in that awesome virtual keyboard. Typing is now pleasurable and I pit the experience over a physical keyboard.

    I would have to say the Q10. The battery life is better and the build quality and design are more eye candy. Besides having a physical keyboard is what defines a BlackBerry device. But then again this is only my opinion

    I love physical keyboards but got the Z10 while waiting for the Q10. Glad I did. Excellent keyboard, great screen real estate. Just a gorgeous and well built phone. I did purchase a Q later on to try it out and it did not have the same feel as my beloved Bold 9900, so I sold it and kept my Z. I love the Story Maker app and watching it on the Z is amazing. I will check the Z30 out when it hits the US. Battery life is not an issue since I have the battery bundle. I get a full day on my battery on most days anyway. And I don't restrict my phone activities.

    Coming off a 9900, I couldn't wait to use OS 10 and purchased the Z10. When the Q10 was released, I immediately purchased one as well and bounced back and forth for a couple of months. My verdict? Although I really miss the big screen of the Z10, I much prefer the Q10. The physical keypad still outweighs the virtual, regardless of how good it is. The battery life is so much better and as a work tool, there is nothing better. Q10 hands down!
