BlackBerry Z30 [or Z10] good choice for 1st-time smartphone user?
Happy Post-Holidays to everyone. I am a Senior, looking for my 1st smartphone and need advice/info, please...
I have looked at some Android units; not crazy about how 'organized', set-up, or something. Just not comfortable for me. Found iPhones [pre-6; can't afford 6] a little better, but wasn't wowed by them.
So - took a chance, tried a Windows Phone = much more to my liking. Have read reviews/posts stating WP's very good for 1st-timers & seniors; I'm both. Problem I have is not all WP's OS's are being updated to 8.1; for me, that speaks to future support. Another indicator or hint is no local TV station has plans to add a WP version of their news/weather app. One TV station currently has a BB version and thus curiosity lead me here.
I have also posted questions on the WP version of this forum, so this post may seem familiar to some of you. I used the name SeniorGuest, if curious.
So, my question is as stated:: Would the Z30, or even Z10, be a good choice for a senior w/no smartphone experience? I am still working and financially must until no longer able. However, my phone will not be used in conjunction with work; rare if at all. Are either the Z30 or Z10 excellent for strictly personal-based use as well?
I plan to buy the phone outright and use on a pre-paid smartphone plan or other less expensive '3rd party' carrier. What can I expect to pay for a slightly used Z10 and Z30?
This is a valid, honest post I assure you. Any advice, help, info would be sincerely appreciated. Thank You!
