Had to replace the z10, as it had been giving troubles, plus t mobile has not updated their of to 10.3.x yet. Pretty annoying on their part. The z10 could have been wiped and reloaded, but I really wanted to leverage the extra screen real Estate.

However, so far the z30 has been a great device. 10.3.2 is a terrific improvement, and the feel of the hardware is great!

The only thing is the non removable battery ; I have no idea what BlackBerry is thinking, moving away from this architecture. It was always one of their best design ideas.

Anyone have a reasonable figure of what to expect, battery life wise (daily use and life span?)

BlackBerry claims 25 hrs of mixed use. But reality is often different than manufacturers claim....

The z30 smashed all my BlackBerry devices (including the passport) in batterylife.
It was AMAZING!!!

Don't worry about the battery, you'll get through the day

With the Z30, he only time you'll see significant battery loss or instability is when upgrading the OS. No different then any other BB10 device.

Other then that, I get a full day no matter what my usage is and I'm hard pressed to think of any other devices I might of had in my lifetime, that could do that. Aside from flip phones!

Look! It's Zedzilla30!

Congrats! I took advantage of a sale in May and picked up my Z30. It is a fantastic device. I echo the praise for the battery life. The size is also nice. They were able to fit the 5 inches into a very manageable form factor.

Light usage for me is 3 days of battery life. Medium is a day and a half. Heavy usage is a day.

Is there an app or tool that can measure the health of my battery

[pragnesh89]

I need to pick me one up too. Z10 battery is horrible. Is there any chance z30 will fall down to $200-225 range or $249 is the lowest it will go for now? I am willing to wait one more month. My friends are trying to convert me into android and apple but I ain't going there.

This does a fine job of assessing battery health and more: Check out BlackBerry Virtual Expert in BlackBerry World! You can find it at http://appworld.blackberry.com/webst...ntent/27226887

No need to pay 249 as we picked up several for 220 on amazon including free shipping

[destroyandroid]

So far in 3 days of use, the battery life has been great! Now, let's see what happens when I start using GPS, Bluetooth, etc all at the same time....

$220.00 one is a Verizon Z30 been there done that. The listing says it GSM unlocked but isn't.

[zqz]

We are on ATT, not Verizon and all our Z30's are unlocked.

[kbrant64]

[GoodInfo]

Battery isn't that hard to replace, as long as you are careful and delicate. It takes no more than 5-10 minutes

I just picked up a North American version for T-Mobile on Amazon brand new for $230...at that price it was hard to resist!

It will arrive on Saturday just in time for an upcoming trip!

I was saying the seller said it was GSM unlocked model and was a Verizon branded Z30. I purchased from two different seller with the same results. One order was shipped directly from Amazon.

We bought from BREED via Amazon, all STA100-5 and unlocked

[mcstravi]

Bought one from shopblackberry for $199 factory unlocked. Just headed over to redflagdeals.com and got a promo code from someone who works for BlackBerry.

The app you need is BaSA, battery and system analyzer, search on BBW
