AfAIK, Z30 enjoys "internals" second only to PP, in BB10 space. ? Amazingly, mine's battery has shown no noticeable degradation, to date. (Did I just jinx it? Lol). It's sat in its charging station far more than carried, tho. I've never employed it as "primary carry" so its embedded battery hasn't been much issue for me. I've carried it as a "browsing beast of burden" and document reader, mostly. It does enjoy nice battery life and impressive performance for that use case, at least.
I never minded Z10's battery life... just carried spares... lol. Too bad 10's re-boot time wasn't more 99ish. Lol. I'm still source of comic relief humor around here for my antics after destroying my 9 month old Z10 by crushing a foam cup of HOT coffee (with creamer & sugar, lol) all over it. Simultaneous with answering a VERY important call from a most significant client! Maintaining decorum while shaking HOT coffee from fingers MUST have presented hilarious entertainment! Coworkers haven't since failed to reminisce when a good laugh is needed. Lol. To its credit, the soaked Z completed THAT call. Client was oblivious to any distraction on my end. He's shared the laugh years later, tho. Lol.
Sadly, that 9 month old first day Z was deemed beyond repair. I'd already tired of doing my best to "love" its slabness, tho. Especially answering calls! Lol. The Q I'd already had IT order was in my hand within the hour. Only THEN to find, with utter shock & horror, that RIM had forgotten the #*!?$:/!!!!!! TOOLBELT. !!!! UG!!!! The thought briefly occurred that maybe IT and a couple of my "smart guys" had somehow concocted such an abomination as some sort of joke! Lol. Tragically, the joke was on RIM for ever even contemplating a smallish display absent no-brainer mitigation like a TOOLBELT!!! Little surprise Q failed, imo. Go figure. Lol.
That Q lasted another 3 months before two of my "smart guys" handed me an old 99 with latest OS7.1 and asked what Q does for us that's any better than Bold? Handling that 9900 for a couple minutes over lunch, I had no imeadiate answer. Despite over a year since last holding one, it felt like the most comfortable pair of shoes EVER! Every last one of my 26 coworkers returned to 99 within the week. Productivity returned and has established quite a few records since.
I still generally despise typing on glass for the persistent distraction it inflicts on my feeble cognizance. Lol. Utterly detest placing & taking calls on glass. Even after all of these years of striving to "love" slab, I still can't shake nagging resentment of the distractive nurturing & finger petting demanded by needy Tamagotchi pets calling themselves "phones". Lol. MY oxytocin addictions are reserved for loved humans, in MY life. Haha.
Agent 99, on the other hand, simply, seamlessly, almost invisibly, collaborates WITH my life. Rather than dominating it. Critical distinction lost on most, these days. Lol.
" It's a Bold thing, those who must ask won't understand...". Lol
