    OK so I'm most likely going to get a Z30 this coming Black Friday. My Z10 is almost paid for. My question is this.
    1. I talked to a TMo rep and said all I had to do was remove the SIM card on my Z10 and transfer it to the new phone. Is this ok?
    2. Was also told I have to manually transfer all my contacts. Is this true?
    3. And how will I get software update since the phone is not bought through TMo?

    Thank you for all help!

    You can back up your contacts or files using the BlackBerry link software or you use it to switch between devices. If you get an unlocked Z30 you will have no problem checking for software updates from BB.

    1. Yes.

    2. Download fire chest from blackberry world. Create a Dropbox account and link fire chest to it. Backup all your content to that account. After you switch install fire chest and restore all your content.

    Your updates will come directly from Blackberry.

    You can use the device switch option in BlackBerry Link software
    http://us.blackberry.com/software/de...erry-link.html

    OR

    the device switch app for BB10 :

    Good luck. Have fun....! :-)

    All you need is that micro USB cable that came with your device if you're using Link, or both phones connected to the same wifi network (no cable needed) if you're using the app...

    I also have a z10 on t mobile usa. I have been going back and forth in my mind as to whether or not I should upgrade to the z30 now, or wait until a new touchscreen phone comes out (if it ever does). I am happy with my z10. It seems like the biggest benefit to the z30 is the improved battery life. While having a better battery life is good, my z10 hasn't been a problem for me. So what are the reasons making you want to upgrade?. Also, have you considered getting the z30 on Verizon for $199?

    Update Z30 before putting SIM in. Use BlackBerry Link to transfer data from Z10 to Z30. Move SIM card to Z10.

    Thanx for all replies. Definitely getting the Z30 on Black Friday.

    Marksf941....Though I love my Z10 I think it's time for a little upgrade. Looking forward to long battery life and bigger screen. Will enjoy the Z30 until they come one with a newer all touch device. But I do kinda want the Passport too. The $199 Z30 on Verizon is nice but I want unlimited everything like I am now on T-MOBILE. I'm sure I can get that too on Verizon but it might cost me more moolah!!! SMILE!!!

    Hopper76... Thanks for your reply. I agree with you that unlimited plan on T Mobile is a much better deal. Only suggested Verizon as it might make sense for a low data user. I am leaning heavily to upgrading for same reasons as you. Will decide in next few days.
