    Hello!
    So currently, I have had my Z10 for almost a year now. I love the device - I bought it during the fire sale on us.blackberry.com for 199, and I believe it was the best way to "get into" BlackBerry 10.
    Now that I am into BB10, I really miss the hardware keyboard experience. I go back to my 9900 to get a taste, but using anything other than BB10 feels awful. Recent sales on us.blackberry.com have tempted me to pick up a Q10, but my upgrade is up in a month, and I am hoping the Passport comes to ATT. So I ask you all this question; how many of you own multiple phones (that you use) or have bought a phone, even though you didn't "need" it?

    I don't know if I would consider myself a snob, but I do have a backup to my Z10 in the form if a q5. I have loved the z10 immensely, but there are some days when I wake up that I just do not want to type on a screen. So, I will pull out the q5. Then, after a couple of days I will be missing the z10. Rinse and repeat!

    I've never considered myself a snob. But on further reflection.....maybe.

    I have a Z10, a Z30 that I still love and use.

    But my passport, my new young hottie that that people stare at and wonder ' why is she with that old guy, sugar daddy I guess '.

    But I love them all!

    To much testosterone I guess. .

    Snob? Dunno. I do love technology, and own devices from the main platforms.

    Me,me,me!!!

    I always have 4-5 phones laying around to play with. When I post one on CL, I usually just end up trading for another phone lol!!!

    I always end up back on a BlackBerry. I hate typing on screens!

    Outside personally owned devices, I have 8 review devices/accessories. 4 are going back...

    I'm the opposite of a snob, then. I like everything! LOL.

    I only have Q10. Want the Z10. But I'm also one of those always jumping back to the physical keyboard.

    I hate myself for it. The problem is that they don't deliver everything in one device. Maybe it's impossible, maybe it's awkward.

    Q10's screen is not big enough.

    Z10 has a perfect size, but need physical keyboard or other premium specifications. Battery, screen quality etc.

    Passport is innovative, but too wide, not a phone.

    Classic is the best looking BlackBerry 10 phone maybe, but the screen size is the same as Q10?

    I don't know about snobs but if you're referring to people who act and walk around as if their phones are superior and by association they as well then yes they are phone snobs. But to simply want a phone for a specific set of features makes no one a snob.
    If I wanted a pen input for my phone or a built in HR monitor I shoud be able to get one without feeling like a snob. Regardless I hope you find the right device for you and no I don't think it makes you a snob. As for buying multiple devices even if you don't need them I see no big deal everyone collects something to some extent so have fun.
    Edit: I have a backup z10 and tried the z30 but didn't like it now I'm on the passport and am enjoying the experience much more than I thought.

    I do apologize, snob was definitely a bad way to put it. I mean more of someone who had multiple devices and uses them all, not sure why I thought that'd be a snob haha.

    Snob? No. But I do like to get through the day and evening on one charge. I do like loud clear voice calls. I do like writing long emails without errors. I do like all my messages in one place where can read reply easily and file delete quickly. I also like knowing I'm using the device that works best for me. Yup... I'm a snob.

    I guess I'm a hoarder. Just got a 9000 in the mail a couple of weeks ago for kicks. My passport still hasn't been shipped from amazon though. I bought it when it was "in stock" it hasn't shipped yet. I bought it "in stock" on Saturday. Still says "Not yet shipped" it's driving me mad.

    I'm constantly going back and forth between my 9930, Q10 and Z10. It is very easy to change between the Z and Q simply by switching my SIM card but with the 9930 it requires me to call VZW. I switch between the Z and Q at least 3-4 times a day. The 9930 gets activated at least once every other week for a day or so. I can't wait for the classic so hopefully I won't switch so much. I can't decide which I want to use. Sometimes I want the larger screen, sometimes I want the trackpad, others I just want the small form-factor of the Q. My company no longer uses BES so I can't keep the 9930 active during the week when I need access to work emails. I don't want to carry two phones in my pocket. So tough to decide...UGH!

    I run a Z30 as my primary, a Z10 as my backup, and my 9900, which I break out about once a week to stay sharp on my typing skills and shortcut remembrance. I've never considered myself a snob about it...it's just what I do.
