    I've been whining for the past month about the high prices of BB10 devices, so now I'm actually interested in your story about how you were able to afford/buy your Q10 or Z10. Did you have money saved up? Did you put it on credit? Did you sell drugs?

    Please let me know, because I would love to be able to buy a Q10, but there's no way I could right now.

    Thanks in advance!

    I have lots of money and like to spend frivolously. You can always find money for what you want.

    P.S. I don't drink, smoke, or gamble... so this is my vice.

    You can pretty much ask this to anyone about anything... house, car, computer, last Mickey D's meal... people work and allocate money to what they want to use it for. I have a couple jobs and my money goes a variety of different ways: groceries, mortgage, utility bills, vehicle repairs and gas, and I have a little left over that goes to whatever I want. If you want something bad enough you will work hard to get it. I do not know your situation, but I'm sure if you really wanted something bad enough, there is something you can do, you might have to sacrifice free time or something, but it shows you what your priorities truely are.

    I made sure to save money per month for a year before bb10 phones came out and because initial launch got delayed it gave me extra time to add to that savings...

    Before prices were announced I estimated it @ the highest possible price for a phone (iphone) pricing and made ghat my target

    Everyone whines about contracts, but being with Bell for the last 8 years meant I got my Z10 for $50.

    But i agree, the BB Q10 is too expensive .... same price that the Galaxy S4 ...
    I'll wait 2 or 3 weeks ... I think the Q10 will be cheaper ...
