    Blackberry Q10

    Anybody got one of these?

    I am currently on the best Blackberry Bold for my main phone (have an iPhone as my "gadget phone"). I am reluctant to make the switch to the Q10 because of no tracker pad being available, the problem is I see no other competition for a phone with a physical qwerty keyboard which is an absolute must for my main phone.

    Any experiences appreciated.

    I got mine few months ago and sold it . It needs getting used to - and i couldnt be bothered learning how to use a phone (got other stuffs to worry about) /

    If you have used the new Blackbery 10 software in the past then yea you would survive if not - it wil take some real good time getting used to it.

    I am loving my iphone and will still stick to it for a long time.

        Is that company still afloat?

        The last CEO is a nutter, trying to sell black & white as the new new. Fail.

          Depends how you define afloat. They've been losing billions for years, it's just that they just started off with quite a lot of billions and haven't run out yet.

          Why would someone want one of those tiny physical QWERTY keyboards? There's a reason nobody else uses them.
          Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

            Nostalgia has it's followers. Besides I'm certain there's one or two folks out there who despise touch screens.

            All said and done BB should have focused on their core clients and never attempted to compete with Apple & Samsung. I'm no CEO but even I saw that one coming. I cringed when I saw the BB CEO trying to by hipster.

                True say - with BB it's all about the keyboard. They were better off downsizing and focussing on the BB loyal consumers.
