BlackBerry Q10 (CDMA)

No planned release in the US at this time though....other than Classic and Passport.

My wife's Classic has been running this for a while (and even has the Play Store, Google Maps, etc) and it's a great improvement over what the Q10's been running.

Great update. UI changes are great so far. Direct download of Amazon's App Store fills in a number of holes. Sideloaded Snap for quite a bit more. Still no YouTube or Google Maps functionality due to no Google Play Services, but it bridges quite a gap.

And this is just the 1st build of BB10. Waiting to see what's down the road.

Crickets. 🤣

This author stated the problems mildly. This phone requires 100% swiping, and nonstop swiping is STUPID! Blackberry ruined the phone by removing the Home button. If us Blackberry users wanted to swipe, we would have bought a iPhone or Android years ago. Even those phones have a Home button!! Furthermore, there is no more awesome trackpad, and no more Back button or Menu button. Now, in that little space where those use to be, you have to do mini little swipes. This is insane! Blackberry the company is run by complete morons.

Something about going with a 3.1 inch display is just so small. I mean I understand 3.5 or even 4 inch but 3.1. I am a bit impressed with the Z10 but its still not as impressive as some of the newer phones Windows and Android are pumping out.

I've seen 1st hand on on the Q10 that Google Play Store Apps are easily side loaded onto this device.

Not my cup of tea either, Blackberry is just too far behind the "Curve" on this one. It will appeal to the die hards and fan bois (T Bone) but its just too little too late this is blackberries palm pre and pixi reincarnated. .

The BEST option for BlackBerry is to get totally out of the harware market and license BB10 as an App on other platforms.

A trackpad/d-button is a vital component of the Blackberry/Nokia E-series experience. You cannot create and edit professional quality text on the go without it. The gesture controls are awful, and as the reviewer stated, bezel gestures do NOT cut it on a phone. At the very least BB devs should add a virtual trackpad and home button to make OS 10 fully usable. Until that happens their just circling the drain.

Can someone find the out of contract pricing for the Q10. I swear I remember seeing it in the $300 or so range but I could be wrong. Thought I read it on scoop but when looking for news on the Q10 get the error of phone not found

sheez.

This is the update that they have been promising which would add full compatibility with Jelly Bean so that you will be able to run any Android app by sideloading it.

Not like they can afford too many delays at this point.

They should have stuck with the touch panel, keyboards are out just like floppy disk.

Looks just like the BB dev alpha devices
That they gave to app developers. What a waist
Of time. I'll stick with my Gs3 😁 🙂 😁 🙂 😁 😁 🙂

I was led to believe that RIM would drop the Z10 first and the Q10 would be released in the following months. This is a most welcome surprise!

thats what we need for our corporation. need to tell my boss and officemates to upgrade our BB's once this "angels' are available..

Last year we were given the excuse that the reason for the delay from Q4 2012 to Q1 2013 was because there was a shortage of a certain kind of dual core processor that they needed...

So...do these things actually have a dual core processor, or were they just make stuff up?

Is the screen plastic or glass?????
