Need quick advice for purchase tonite - whether q10 or z30 is q10 better at copy.past function?
- which does copy and paste better (or easier?) I'm coming from a Bold 9780,where copy and paste is very easy for me, especially with the menu key choices with the track pad (how does this compare with Q10 with no track pad and menu button enter on copy/paste? I find touch screen so clumsily imprecise for copy/paste on Z10, that it is frustrating, time consuming (and I do a LOT of it ,with addresses to customers for drop- ship orders from my website, and I have found that Z-10 touchscreen is more difficult and less l precise for copy paste functioning that I need than my old Bold 9780, If the Qfl10 does that function easier and more precisely I would prefer Q10; but IF Q10 is just as clumsy as Z10 to copy and paste (because of the touch screen - compared to Bold 9780 menu key /enter button ease), then I will get Z30 because of all the other superior things about Z30 and I am liking the predictive text on the virtual keyboard (the more I get used to it--about a week now) I'm returning a defective Z10 with non-functioning on/off button and will replace with either a z30 or Q 10 tonite ..so IF anyone has Q10 and does a lot of copy paste work, pls advise.
Q10 would be a lot less $, (IF copy paste is better than on Z10 but at screen size sacrifice), but if Q10 if just as imprecise, I would get Z30 just for the screen size joy, (and all the superior features seem to be well worth the extra $ for a Z30, correct?)... And i guess once I get used to selecting text to copy and pasting more precisely on a touch screen, I'm thinking the Z30 is the better choice even tho so much more $ (there is an add'l $100 discount on BBRY site for TMo customers on Q10 and Z10, making them 299 for Q and 199 for Z)... seems like a great deal,BUT I think I would long for the Z30"s screen size and predictive text after trying the Z10 for a week. All advice welcome and needed quick - ThanksLast edited by Judyam; 04-27-14 at 12:13 AM. Reason: typos

Text selection is different from touch pad on BB7 devices but it does not mean it's inferior. Once I learnt how to use the way in BB10, I have no problem selecting text quickly.

Q10 would be a lot less $, if copy paste is better than on Z10 but if just as imprecise, I would get Z30 just for the screen size joy. I do like the physical keyboard, but with the predictive text, not sure I need it, unlesa it helps with menu key type functions like copy paste. All advice welcome and needed quick Thanks

Posted via CB10Judyam likes this.04-26-14 10:52 PMLike 1 - I recently upgraded from a Z10 to a Z30 and I find copy and paste easier on my z30. BB10 is excellent at sharing anything very quickly. Just today I was going to copy a text message to a BBM contact but after I quickly copied the text I realized there was a share button so instead I clicked share, chose my BBM contact and done. It copied it for me. Also I've been playing around with PGpgp and in order to decrypt messages you must copy and paste. In BlackBerry 10 there is an "expand selection" button which makes that task a breeze. It looks a little like a mini-winZip button. The on screen keyboard is a little more comfortable to use than the z10. Enjoy your purchase!

- Don't forget you can just tap and hold for a different length of time to select a word, a line or a paragraph or a whole page, based on how long you hold.
Also don't forget you can move your cursor one character a time by tapping on the cycle, the location of the tapping doesn't need to be accurate, which is very useful for adjusting cursor at corner or edge of the screen.
I disagree with the comment that the text selection is easier on legacy devices. It's true if we only compare legacy devices with Bb10 keyboard devices, because the screen is so much smaller and it doesn't have tool belt. For BB10 touch devices, I think it's just different.
Go with Z30, it's near perfection.
