Hello Crackberry addicts, I am all but firmly committed to transition from my z10 as my primary cellular device to a Q10.
I started working in an environment where stainless steel particles and other hazards could cause serious damage to my cellphone.
thanks to crackberry kevin's article ( see:
BlackBerry Z10 earpiece speaker broken from metal dust particles | CrackBerry.com ) I have decided it is best to get a q10 as my primary cellphone and keep my z10 as a movie/game device. I need help making the transition and want some feedback and answers on how to best make the transition. I'm not looking to move everything from my z10 to a Q10 just shift and share a few.
Device transition:
1. Can I use the same blackberry ID? what about amazon login?
2. can I use bbm on both?
3. will my contacts/calendars synch?
4. if I previously purchased an app on my z10 can I install it on the q10?
5. I have several movies purchased from blackberry world, if i ever wanted to download them to my q10 how can I do it from blackberry world?
6. will having the same emails, blackberry, amazon social media accounts set up cause lags or anything I should be aware of or expect?
I don't like surprises much if there are any tips you know would help with my transition please let me know.
what are the differences between the two devices in the following areas:
7. How do screen visibility compare on viewing angles & readability outdoors & brightness?
8. does it heat up as much or easily with prolonged or heavy use?
9. bluetooth: compatibility with devices and signal strength
what accessories are best for the q10?
11. case recommendation: thickness, utility, grip, visual
12. screen protectors recommendation: utility, clarity, protection, how smooth/ frictious
13. I own a z10 battery charger bundle, can I plug it in to a Q10 and charge it?
14. Miracast use vs hdmi connection to view apps and video
Finally, I was hoping to use my z10 to listen to music while at work.
15. Which case provides the best protection from stainless steel particles entering the devices ports and speaker?
16. I am also seeking a bluetooth headdset that would hold up comfortably to 10 hours of use in the same conditions or a pair of headphones.
17. Can I just swap sd cards? or will that cause complications
18. If i get a new sim card from a new provider will that complicate the transition?
19. do the white and black q10's have the same feel/grip? are they the same material?
Thanks for taking your time to read this dense question filled post. I will greatly appreciate all helpfully detailed answers, feedback and tips.
