[CrackBerry Question]

Just received Keyone - it's too big and heavy for me. May get a q10.
I want the BB keyboard, email w attachments, text, a few apps, voicemail and calls -
occasional camera
I am tech phobic basically and would have kept my lg lotus forever if I hadn't lost it.
Should I buy a q10 ? sign up with CDMA like Sprint or go with At&T ?
Help please...

Are you also looking to change carrier? Who are you with now?

[Ragbert]

Regarding carrier, I would go with the one with the best signal in your area/town/neighborhood, etc. They all claim to have the best coverage but we all know that some just work better than others in some areas. If you pick AT&T or TMobile you can buy an unlocked Q10 from anywhere and it will work with either. Sprint and Verizon require the CDMA version of the phone (also technically unlocked) and Verizon in particular will only work with one which is made for the Verizon network. (Verizon works best where I am, so that's what I have.)

If choice of carrier isn't an issue, get the best and cheapest plan you can find, and buy a Q10 which will work with your chosen carrier. (Amazon has them, last time I looked.)

If you can't find a Q10 anywhere, try the slightly larger Classic, which has the same keyboard and a slightly larger screen. Just be aware that although the phone part will likely work a long time, very few apps will be upgradable, as most developers have stopped working on BB10 apps and BlackBerry no longer supports the BB10 OS.
