    I "may" get to play around with a A series / Z30 on Tuesday. Any requests? Anything I should look for?

    It really won't be much different than the Z10 just bigger and running an updated OS code. Spec wise pretty much the same.

    how is it sith?

    hopefully it'll actually run sunspider, my Z10 doesn't finish the benchmark. what i want to see is geekbench just to see how it and 10.2 utilize the availible hardware. if 10.1 is any indication i'm now benching steadily in the 1800 range and have peaked at 1864, which is Note2 territory, not bad considering the SGS3 on the same hardware runing the same android barely hits 1600

    Run the 0.91 benchmark, Z10 does fine on that. I get about 1300-1400 on 10.2 for the Z10. I would love to see the Z30 around the 900 mark. Lower scores are better on that one.


    I am getting a Z30, I much prefer it in performance and size to the note 2, havent tested the note 3 yet.

    Take a video from all angles possible. Watch a video & play a game on it and take a video of it. Put a ruler next to it and photograph it for perspective and dimension. Take photos using the Z30 and video it. Boot the phone and video for elapsed time to boot.

    With a steady hand, video the following:
    Make a phone call,
    access BB World,
    Hub & Flow,
    Music,
    Videos,
    BBM,
    Download a Free App
    Browse to any site(s),
    Access CB.com

    Post this on CB and Youtube.

    Go BB!

    Check if they keep the limit of apps in one folder, hopefully this limit is gone.

    That's awesome. Hmmm, I guess if you can just do a "feel" comparison between the Q10 and the Z30. More specifically, because of the size difference, if one feels more natural in the hand than the other. I'm 99% set on the Q10 but I'd like to know how the Z30 feels. Thanks a lot.

    I want to know how the screen looks in compared to the Z10. We've heard all this negative stuff about how the screen is worse than the Z10, but it would be nice to get your opinion on the difference.

    Also, what's the texture like on the back? Is it like the Q10's? There are like 3 colors on the Z30 (the carbon fiber, the silver on the bottom by the mic, and the black plastic), so I'm curious how they pull it off together.

    Backing is like Q10. Screen looks nicer IMHO. Aesthetically higher end looking overall

    Feels very nice in hand I would say. Size isn't as over bearing as I had thought either
