Can't wait to put my hands on one of those. Plus it should be time we stop looking at Canadian product so harshly. We produce high quality and well designed devices. Time to support our own!

Blackberry/RIM stock is up around 25% this year, saving them from the brink of destruction, so obviously they've found their mojo again. I'm going to try one of these keyboard types when my current contract expires. The touch-screen is OK but I find it to sensitive and finicky for my oversized sausage fingers. There's also too much stuff on it and I want to go back to something that's more of a phone and less of a goofy little pocket computer.

They had the fair share of the users, just not a new phone that everyone would love.

You can look at the X10, it is their biggest keyboard ever produced so far.

My Z10 is coming next Monday, can't wait!

I was going to opt for the Q10 but after using the keyboard on the Z10 I was sold.

Well said.

If I were looking to upgrade my lowly LG Neon (which I quite like), I would seriously consider a Z10 or Q10, to a great extent because BB makes a good product and it's Canadian.

I look at a phone as a pocket communicator (phone, email, text) and if it does that well, to me that's 3/4 of the game.

I own several hand-held devices, and all the cutesy apps that are available have lost their lustre, after some intitial fun at playing around with them.

Besides the basics, if a phone can take photos, read Kobo and epub's, and keep a music library, that's pretty well good enough for me.

The State of California will definitely be buying several thousand of these.
