My z30 will be delivered today. It is unlocked, but I gave a few questions to ask:
1. How is the transition from z10 to z30 like?
2. How can I transfer my contacts and everything to the z30?
3. Will BBOS 10.2.1 be available on blackberry link or through the website? Since I have tmobile n they haven't pushed the new update yet. Still running a leak on my z10.
4. Would I have installed the leak then on my z30?
5. What is the experience like on thus beast?
I think you can just install the leak for you model. And yes, I am optimistic that you will love the switch to Z30... that's based on the observation on this sub forum that, over 90% of Z30 users are extremely happy with Z30.

Enjoy your Z30! I'm excited for you! I'm Praying T-Mobile gets the Z30, I have the Z10 and I love it, I just want the Z30 for the bigger screen and of course the battery life! I can't wait to get one! Cmon! TMOBLE make it happen!
As others have said load the leak first thing, back up your 10 using link, setup your 30. Restore to your 30 or change device. Enjoy the great upgrade.
The transition for me was pretty smooth. I messed with it a bit at work, but I installed the leaked .1925 on it as soon as I got home.
Link had my app icons set up in the same places as my Z10, which was very nice as it saved me a lot of time. Since the Z30 has an extra row of icons at the bottom, I moved some around to allow my most used apps to be at the very bottom of the screen.
Your Z10 will feel significantly different after using only the Z30 for an hour or so. Not necessarily in a bad way but my Z10 feels so tiny now, and I noticed the corners more since the Z30's are more rounded.
Great decision. I went from a z10 to the 30 and ain't never looking back. I uploaded the leak and did a device restore from my 10 to the 30 and all went well. If you have snap or Amazon you'll have to side load snap and re-download amazon. Good luck and enjoy
