    Well I just placed my order for my phone. I am a current iPhone user and enjoy it greatly. I have decided however to give the BB a chance. I will hope that BB have been honest and Skype is coming!

    I have always believed in BB but I had a problem with one phone and got turned off by the response of the carrier. At the present time both my wife and I have Verizon iPhones but I want a GSM phone so Z10 is it

    One thing that I've learned is that BlackBerrys aren't for everyone, but, if your personality fits with it, there is nothing better. Welcome aboard, or back, whichever it is. Always glad to have more members of team BlackBerry!

    Is this your first ever BB or are you coming back after a stint with the iPhone? If this is your first BB, than it's best to manage your expectations in terms of what you'll be getting. I can't go anywhere these days without people telling me that my Z10 is basically an iPhone based purely on physical appearance. NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH!!! I believe CB put up a post a couple of weeks back specifically targeting iPhone users switching to Z10 and what they should expect/look out for (or maybe it was targeted at Android converts?). It-s a good read if you can find it (I'm still trying to find stuff with the new CB.com!) There is a learning curve moving to the BB world... and especially the BB10 OS. How steep that learning curve is will depend on your learning agility, whether you've had any previous BB experience and whether you're tech savvy (I've only had BB phones since 2006 and it only took me 10 minutes to get used to the Z10.. also helped that I own a Playbook).

    Either way, enjoy your Z10 when it arrives. It is an absolutely wonderful device... truly the BB that us long-time die hards have been waiting for!

    No, this is not my first BB. I started with an 8800 (I think that is right) for both my wife and me, we loved the phones. Then I got the Storm and it was a complete disaster! I ended up paying an ETF, as I could get no longer seem to get support. As a result I left Verizon and went to ATT and my first iPhone 3S. It was a good phone, but I missed BB. I then bought a 9700 which I really loved. My wife then came over to ATT family plan, but insisted I get an iPhone 4 which I did. I then became deeply involved in the Apple ecosystem, and am now the owner of an iPhone 5, an iPad 4, an iPad mini, and a PB Pro. My wife owns an iPhone 4. All on VZW.

    I have always loved and cared about RIM, and followed Crackberry regularly. I watched the release with great expectations. I was disappointed and angry with what I saw was hype leading to disappointment. My area only has LTE on VZW so we returned there. My iPhone is unlocked and a world phone.

    After reading a number of reviews, and posts I have decided to give BB Z10 a chance. I pre-ordered and am very excited to get a phone which is GSM and apparently does not require frequent battery pulls. I am acting on the promise that Skype is coming!
