    I ventured into Best Buy today & finally held a Z10!! It's beautiful! I spoke with the Blackberry Latin America Rep, her title not mine, she let me play with her own phone & explained everything in detail about the new software. She was more excited about it than I was. I'm contemplating the Z10 but definitely want the Q10, which she claims is coming next month to Sprint.

    Definitely not impressed with the Z10 because it is too light, plasticky and similar to an iPhone. I want a qwerty keyboard to replace my 9800. Shattered. Z10 looks nice enough but also too similar for comfort to an iPhone.

    The Blackberry Reps said that they were going to be available. Not ready to be sold.

    There is NO firm release date for the Q10, and I'll tell you why: because in order for launch to be a success, BlackBerry needs to ensure that all those great apps that are available for the Z10 are also available for the Q10. Not just the big name apps, but all the smaller ones too. Developers who have seen poor app download numbers on the Z10 are less inclined to develop for the Q10, so it's going to take some time. When BlackBerry is satisfied with both the number and quality of apps submitted for the Q10, then they will announce pre-registration and launch dates. It can't happen any other way, otherwise it is sure to be a flop.

    Why would they have to develop a new app for the Q10? It's the same OS.

    The BlackBerry Z10 and BlackBerry Q10 have very different screen size plus the Q10 has a smaller screen meaning applications will cater to a keyboard centric smartphone.

    Scrollable apps won't be affected much, and if you turn off auto-correct, you'll have less distraction on the screen. I'm excited to switch from Z10 to Q10.

    Map apps and games will have to be modified...or not ported at all.

    Anyone depending on a Best Buy rep for real information is setting the self up for great disappointment. "Most" rumors point to later this year for the Q10 but maybe Blackberry has chosen this Best Buy rep to release the news it is coming out early!
