Yup my coworker just updated his telus z10.

Q10 comes with 10.1 i think, I didnt get an update today but did get one as soon as i picked up my phone.

[woodywoodford]

Yeah I'm running 10.1.0.1483 OS / 10.1.0.238 software. I have no idea what the difference is.

I have both the S4 and the Q10 now... Im just debating which one to send back to Rogers.... The keyboard is the only thing keeping me with the crackberry. i really can't stand not having a back button or a trackpad to scroll..

Anyone else find it super annoying to read emails on the Q10!!!! Keeps bringing up the other screens! :S erggg

Can't say I've been having that problem...just open the email from hub and read away! BB = email/messaging/phone, S4 for games/anything else IMO

So I have determined that BlackBerry Travel is now the killer app for those who travel.

I knew I could book flights and hotels through the app itself but I like to collect TD points so I always try to book on expediafortd.com. Much to my delight, I booked on the site and as soon as the confirmation Email arrived on my phone it automagically added all the info (confirmation number, address and even the price) right into the BlackBerry Travel app! Well done BBRY!

^Meh, same thing happens with Google Now.

[Q-TIP]

Yeah, but you can't book travel with Google Now. I tend to fly to a certain place, booking though expedia, then grab hotels along the way when I know what city I am going to the next day. BBRY Travel is the better application in this situation. I have a Nexus 4 and while some of the Google services are OK, they haven't been enough to make me want to charge my Nexus for a few months now.

Wondering if anyone has found cool cases for the Q10 yet? I havent found anything I am crazy about yet, Hate silicon covers, and el cheapo $5 ebay hard cases. I think I may order another Otterbox commuter in the mean time, just wondering if there are other options out there yet?

[heavyfuel]

Does anybody know if the 10's have the TD mobile app available?

[Q-TIP]

No app, but the mobile website is as good as the app on my Nexus.

[boarderfatty]

Ya I just have the mobile linked to my menu, so it is basically the same thing, minus the symbol on your menu sucks

[boarderfatty]

TD App is now available, also Sound Hound for those missing Shazam

[phamaze]

Any ideas on how to receive accurate text message times when phones off? Everytime my phone is off I receive text messages and the phone tells me I just received it when I look at the message?

[Stealth22]

^ I can't seem to recall, but I thought my Galaxy Nexus did that too. Might be a network limitation...but I'll admit, I have no idea how that process works.

I am surprised no one posted this up yet, BGR just detailed the new BlackBerry A10 codename "Aristo", that should be popular with beyonders.

We already detailed the BlackBerry A10 and BlackBerry 9720 yesterday in an exclusive report, but now we are able to share exclusive images of BlackBerry’s flagship handset for the second half of 2013, the BlackBerry A10. Set to launch this fall, the A10 will feature a 5-inch Super AMOLED display, a dual-core processor and a separate graphics processor, and it is going to be the largest phone BlackBerry has ever made in terms if screen size. Unfortunately, it seems as if the display’s resolution is going to be 1280 x 720. That’s compared to 1080p displays that are available on many devices, which offer pixel densities north of 350 ppi.

The styling is much more rounded compared to BlackBerry’s current smartphones, as we reported yesterday, and we are told the back of the device is going to feature something similar to the BlackBerry Q10. Below is a screenshot from the actual handset, and as always, thanks to daddygns.

I'm not a huge fan of the whole Phablet thing, but I have yet to upgrade my phone and this is sort of interesting to me.

[Stealth22]

That's a little too big for my taste haha. I like it, but I'll stick with my Z10. It's a good choice for BB fans who like the size of the Galaxy Note though.

just picked up a q10 today... i missed a real keyboard soooo bad... just couldnt do the z10 any more.

plus the q10 in black is so sexy
