I will be asking the very traditional question from all BB users. Z10 or Q10!
I have been using the Z10 since its release back in Feb. It's been amazing. The keyboard is phenomenal. But ...
Reviews says that the Q10 battery life is better. My Z10 never completed a day without having to charge it 2 times - yes, I am a heavy texter! Also, in terms of texting, the Z10 keyboard is so good and very adaptive but the physical one is still different. I miss typing without looking! but I guess I will miss the word prediction and the flying thumbs flicking!
I wanna add a quick comment here, I speak Arabic and frankly we, Arabs, sometimes use English letters to write Arabic words -- you might have seen it before, or maybe you do speak Arabic as me and you do that as well "Eshta 3aleek ya za3eem" - just a sample here :D
Doing that on the Z10 is not as good - coz you can imagine that the word substitution won't work and will screw up my text. I am not blaming on the Z10 but in such case, the Q10 with its physical keyboard will outperform! I am not sure how good is the word substitution feature on the Q10? I think I won't really be in need to use it anyway. Long story short - when you give me your opinion, just think of that :)
Z10 has a bigger screen - might not be a big deal for me but still something. When I hold the two phones, I feel the Q10 is stronger and more durable, I might be mistaken. If the Q10 had a touch pad, the decision would have been made which is not the case.
I am so hesitant! Should I switch to the Q10, the typical BB hardworker phone, or stick with the sexy Z10. Anyone sharing the same thoughts here? could make a clear decision? Would love to hear ya!
