Indeed I too am liking the swift updates ... not to mention the co-ordinated Canadian launch of 10.1 as soon as CEO mentioned its available, people across 5 providers here began to get an update in Notifications area of The Hub stating new OS was available for download. Very cool actually, and it shows what BB has in terms of its NOC and working well with providers.

I have to agree about the price ... that's what happens when competition continually lacks due to lack of demand for competitions lack lustre products.
BB10.2 will make the price worth while that you can fully trust from even a critical BB user.

Just picked this up for one of the biggest BB fans I know, my Mom. She has both a BB9900 Bold and iPhone4S, got very sick of the 9900 as it became faulty so here we are, hopefully she enjoys it.
I like the build of the Q10, very compact with a nicely sized display, the kevlar back cover is nice and grippy and the phone is lite with nicely rounded edges so it's top notch in terms of ergonomics, the keyboard is nothing short of brilliant, very tactile , keys are well space and nicely raised. As for BB10, it is more intuitive than OS7, but not to the same degree as Android and iOS. At the end of the day, this is a great business phone for those who spend a lot of time writing Emails and also for, IM, Tweeting and FB. It is not a media powerhouse like its Android competitors, and it doesn't try to be.
As I type this it is running an update that is just over 220mb
Some pics of it and next to my GS4:

Media powerhouse? BB10 can play quite a lot of media codes out if the box and the sound is 192khz off the dsp on chip, which bests the iPhone 5 quite considerably.
Have her use the switch device wizard using BlackBerry Link software and also get used to the new Kb command shortcuts, there is a lot more than on OS7 and yet some are gone.
If you get the chance upgrade to the recent leak for Bb10.2 it's really nice and make using the software that much more intuitive.
Of note only 1 alarm is in 10.1, a very sad oversight. Bb10.2 resolved this. Also note IMAP/POP3 emails only get 30 days history accessible even with remote search!
If you need a hand BBM me before next week and I can video chat and show on screen what issues or help you may need.
Cheers,
Dono.

Thanks Supa Fly, she should be fine, she is a fast learner when it comes to these things. I'm going to look into updating it to leaked 10.2, if I'm not lazy and she doesn't mind me dabbling a bit with it.
It's such a shame BB are pushing for a sale, BB10 has a lot going for it and under the correct marketing and management could go very far.
WRT Media Powerhouse, what I mean is that it doesn't have the huge HD1080P display, powerful CPU/GPU capable of decoding HD1080P content at 60FPS, top notch camera sensor, IR Blaster etc...top hardware of its Android rivals or the endless media apps, although it is great to hear that Flipboard is on its way at least. It certainly has all the essentials from a very nice Super AMOLED high PPI display to HDMI.

Been using a Q5 now have a Q10, i can say BB10 is awesome and very stable. Battery life is good.
Some stuff they planning for 10.3 is slow motion 60fps camera options, along with panorama.

I played with a 1520, is HUGE!!
I would suggest you to wait for the Lumia 930. The 1520 is cool but after a while, peple start complaining about the size.
Back to Blackberry, the battery life in my Q10 is impressive. All day in 4G (I use T-mobile/EE), bluetooth on (to listen music) push emails, bbm, whatsapp. I charged it last night and still has like 50% left. I think it gives one solid day of full usage (BBM, Whatsapp, Push emails etc) or two days normal usage.
The only thing is the camera, but for that I have the 808 Pureview.

Nooo I have played with one too and I love a nice big phablet. I have big hands and I love big screens 😀 I have had fantastic battery life on the LG G2 best battery of any Droid i've ever had goes all day and then some. But now with Kit Kat update the battery is worse 😞 but the phone is buttery smooth and fast. Had a while now and a while for me is 3 months  Now WP 8.1 is coming with long overdue changes it's time for me to go back to my old favorite OS. It hadn't changed much for ages. Anyway yes back on topic

nope that would be the blueberry, the 7290.
Funny enough BB has had 3 major OS transitions for their smartphones, 1 more than any others in history/competition

Lol, so the BB Q10 I posted above in 2013 is now mine.
Great having Android, iOS and BB10 to use daily I must say. Still need to spend more time exploring the BB, and as you can imagine, going from my Note 4's 5.7inch QHD display to the Q10's tiny 3.1inch 720x720 display is quite a task, but its what makes things all the more exciting.
