Lol. FYI, the STA100-2 won't get you better than HSPA+ in Canada (unless you're a Bell or Rogers customers in one of their LTE 2600 areas.)

I dont understand. Im with Rogers....
It shod work if its unlocked?

It will work, yes, but you have to also look at what radio bands it has. The STA100-2 has Rogers' 3G/HSPA+ bands (5 and 2.) But Rogers has two LTE bands: 1700 (band 4) and 2600 (band 7.) The STA100-2 does not have band 4, but it does have band 7. So you want LTE and are in band 7 areas/cities, you will get LTE. If not, you will get 3G/HSPA+.

has it changed on the final release though i saw that yesterday and thats a very nice score considering " its just an over clocked Z10"

More than a little envious here in Canada. Thanks for sharing the screen shots.
I can see from the box pictures at the top of the thread that this is listed as "Middle East" model (STA100-2)

BlackBerry Z30 smartphone STA100-2:

• Quad band FD-LTE (1, 3, 7, 8, 20) + MIMO
• Quad band UMTS/HSPA+ (1, 2, 5/6, 8)
• Quad band GSM/GPRS/EDGE

There is a great easy-reading write up on the various models over at BerryReview :
BlackBerry Z30 Coming in Six Models To Support Different Carrier Bands (STA100-X) - BerryReview

Actually that link's information may not be correct. A couple of official manuals came out today (-2 and -5,) and the -2 does not have a documented LTE band 1.

Yes - that correct. I was surprised too.

This is the data I received for the STL 100-2. I assume the numbers af ther SKU number refers to frequency bands:

SKU1 (1,2,5/6) � All models
2100mHz
1900mHz
800/850mHz

SKU2 � 1,4,8
All models
2100mHz
1700mHz
900mHz

I have no idea if the hardware is identical, but "limited" due to a factory setting or they have different hardware.
For Denmark we have SKU1. I was informed that in this particular case the SKU2 was from UK.

Interesting. These actually don't look like BB10 band sets, but older (OS7 and prior) devices' band sets. They used to come in 1,2,5/6 and 1,4,8 combinations. According to the English (and Danish!) STL100-2 manual, SKU1 is almost correct, except instead of 1900, it has a UMTS 900 band, and SKU2 doesn't exist.

Have you seen the white version of it? If yes, what is the back like?

[pttptppt]

I don't think there is a demo white version but for them in the Middle East, is their a white version?

[pttptppt]

...My demo version is black and feels very nice. I'm guessing though that the white back will feel like the white q10 back

[sayf777]

Have you opened it yourself?
If you have is it/does it look relatively easy to remove and replace the battery?

Posted via CB10

Sprry pttptppt, my message got lost at end of last page, since you have opened it yourself was the battery soldered on, or could you remove it after removing the cover?

On my X00 version, I could remove it, but it took slight force. If it's like this on official version, then it'll be removable

Thanks for the reply, hopefully it remains the same

I agree. Just carry your screwdriver box on the bus everyday. I thought it was weird when people were nodding their heads to control their GS4's. This just brings funny/bizarre/weird to a whole new level. LOL

4G is so much faster than the z10. YouTube does not stuck and no be too.

Posted via crackberry app from my Z30

Maybe it's the hardware, but what version OS is running on your Z10?

[oldmanjenkins]

here is mine. just got it...
sadly no Holster coming with it, but the premium head phones...

Thanks Raino, that makes sense. Im guessing STA-003 is the one I want for rogers?

Either the -3 or the -1, maaaybe the -4. I can't tell you which ONE yet, because the only ones that have been announced so far are the -2 and the -5. -4 will most likely end up being the CDMA one, that may or may not work on Rogers.

[wincyUt]

OP, thats just simply awesome. Lucky guy! Please if you can, post a video of the "natural sound". Thanks.

I'd be curious to see results for a production device, but I can say mine has production hardware, so only diff would be OS.

Was your device locked to a carrier or unlocked? Do you mind sharing the price you paid for it?

Thanks again!

was unlocked, we do not really have carrier lock here, and i paid 2150AED

[mttomas]

When you say 7:20 you mean 19h20 (or 7:20 pm), right?
This is impressive!

yes correct 19:20, else would be a disaster

Yeah, here in Canada I got the same cool Box with my Q10 from Virgin Mobile, as well as the premium headset. I'm really looking fwd to snagging the Z30 soon.
