I would like to know if those of you with a BB10 device, (referring to the first one you got) why did you get it? - See #4
How important/influential where the following factors? (also if you don't mind please include your location (just country/region is fine ) - USA
1) Price (more of a setback than a draw for some but you never know) - There was some consideration given but it was not a deciding factor
2) Trying out the device - This did not enter into my decision at all. I did have experience with BB10 on the Z10 (my wife's) but I had no way of trying out the Z30 when I purchased it. When I bought it I had to have the assistance of some great CB members to make it happen since it wasn't yet available here.
3) Advertisement (what kind did you see) - Not a factor. Previous BB owner and (obviously) a CB user
4) You are a BlackBerry fan and it was their latest offering, why wouldn't you get it - That had a lot to do with it but I also held out until the Z30 showed up because it was the closest I could get to my much appreciated 9810 experience without waiting for a BB10 slider device that may never show up. Z10 was too small to type on for me and the Q10 screen is too small for me
5) you felt it was time for something new - If by something new you mean a new BB phone, sure. If you mean a jump from a different platform, nope

Did you feel that you learnt enough about BB10 from the adverts? - Not really. I pay little attention to adverts
Or did your past with blackberry lead you to find out more? - Absolutely
