    So jealous dude. I just switched back to the Q10 from the Z10 and realized that my favorite one of the two is neither. My favorite would actually have the functionality of the Q10 (miracast, FM radio, great speaker, great reception, great battery life) mixed with the awesome screen and software keyboard of the Z10. My favorite would be a Z30 and I've never even held one. I want to get one now. I usually have great patience but I can't even wait for my device upgrade in May. Looks like I'll have to find a good deal on a used one.

    Carmels you are going to love it. I just got a black z30 yesterday, I can't put it down.

    Make sure up sideload Snap on it. With that app you can download and install Android apps very easily.

    I was not interested in a Z30 until I saw and held one for the first time last week. It was of such high quality that I could not resist buying one, even though I already have two Z10s and two Q10s, waiting for a Classic. Love the Z30, it's a great device!

    Traded up to a white Z30 from a black Z10. Love the extra real estate.

    Word of warning, the larger Suze and the white especially is very slippery. I recommend a case or be careful with it at first.

    Because I travel overseas a lot and the Blackberry devices are not that frequency compatible with different carriers, especially in different countries. That's why each model has several versions (STL100-1, 2, 3, ...). A pain in the ... if you ask me. So, I have had to buy one for when I am in the US, and one for when I am in Europe/Asia. But, I am not going to do that any more (with Z30 or any future devices). It was easier to do with the Z10 and Q10 because the prices where in the $200-$250 range.

    Guys, thanks for all the comments. I'm itching to get this device. Love my white Z10 but I felt it was time for a bit of a change.

    I didn't want to spend the money on a Passport and I I wasn't sure if I wanted to go back to a physical keyboard as well. Plus I got a fantastic deal on the Z30, no way I could have past it up. This should hold me off till the Z50 is announced or successor to the Z10 is made.

    Look! It's Zedzilla10! ?

    Congatulations !!

    I came from Z10 and now will never look back. Always thought Z10 is a perfect size and 5 inchers are not for me. but honestly, now Z10 feels washed out compare to this. Z30 is a great phone. With 10.3, its getting better.

    Suggest to put a case on it. Z10 is more stronger to sustain drops but Z30 is not !!

    As a z10 and z30 owner, the z30 wins hands down, but I wish sometimes it had the higher resolution of the z10.

    CrackBerry shop has 20% off this long weekend, so why not check out the Z30 accessories for a case?

    I have the exact same story. So glad I made the move! Z30 is wayyyy better than the Z10!

    I am going with a OtterBox Commuter case. I know there is a issue with the USB plug and possible damage to the case. But from what I have read the fix is simple. Just shave down the plastic on the USB plug so it doesn't bump the case. I really like the looks of the case, and the Blackberry symbol on the back of the phone gets shown off.

    Cool, I have transform case on my Z10 now and I love it because it barely puts any bulk on the phone. I'm uber careful with my phones, almost to the point you'd only know it was used if I told you.

    Going with some massive case for protection wouldn't be my style. I'll check out the CB shop and Amazon, see what's being offered. I figure a transform case and good screen protector is sufficient.

    I will be carrying my phone at work, in a heavy industrial setting. I need as much protection as I can get. I would get the Defender but the inner part that contacts your phone is hard plastic. I had a bad experience with a Defender and my old Galaxy Nexus. The inner shell was hard plastic and it rubbed and damaged the phone and the screen. The commuter case is soft rubber, that's why I am going with it.

    The commuter is a great case. I used a flip case since day 1, but just removed it and loving my z30 naked...as risky as that is...

    I also just upgraded to a used Z30 from the Z10. I'm on Verizon so they are impossible to get other than second hand. I too had never held or even seen one, but wanted it because I didn't want to return to a keyboard phone. I thought the Z30 would be way heavier, and since even the Z10 was cumbersome for one-handed swiping for me (small hands), the Z30 has not presented a difficult transition - it still requires two hands! But what I have been surprised by is how much I like the larger screen presentation, it is so much easier on older eyes, and playing Candy Slash has become way easier! So I am really enjoying the Z30. Happy to have made the change.

    By the way - I have the defender case and like it well enough. I don't sense any rubbing, and swiping is no problem with its beveled out bottom. The only thing I don't like is built in screen protectors - so I ripped it out and got an illumishield from Amazon. Has great clarity and covers completely! Is also anti-fingerprint, scratch resistant, anti-bubble, super clear, and oil resistant. Very impressed.

    +1 For the Defender - although it seems harder to find these days given Otterbox no longer officially carries it. I had a Defender for my Z10 as well, and the Z30 with Defender is actually not much bigger than the Z10 with Defender. They made the Defender for the Z30 much nicer than the version for the Z10. It's still not perfect, but good enough for me.
