Experienced my friends z10 yesterday. Surprisingly It has a nice user interface. I have been a big critic of all things BlackBerry over the last few years due to crappy experiences with BB7 and BB5 handsets ice owned but this was nice. I won't buy the z10 because I already have an iPhone 4S but might consider the Q10 when it is released so as to have the QWERTY keyboard |

Signal81telecom: I'm team Z10. Great phone, thought a little bit complicated to operate. real smart phone only for smart people. believe me, its not complicated to operate. every new thing requires learning but from my experience, if you use the phone for 24hrs, you still find that its actually easier to use than an android. the learning curve is not steep at all 1 Like |

For those already on the Z10, you would have noticed an app called 'Connect to Dropbox' in the app tray Dropbox is a cloud storage service and is deeply ingrained into the BB10 OS. if you dont have a dropbox account, register an account using this link http:///3X1B8UoH and you get an extra 500MB once you install a local copy on ur desktop or laptop 1 Like |

My first impression with Z10 was cool, i like the phone though i will never use one (not a BB fan at all) cos i have Freedom with Android. A lot of apps aint yet available for Z10, apps like Viber, Whatsapp and Skype aint available yet, i hear Whatsapp is available when you upgrade your OS to 10.0.10.Bleep version yet our telecom in Nigeria haven't pushed the OS yet. So if you are buying Z10 you may have to wait for some months to get some apps. |

The BB10 is at par with Androids and iOS in terms of data use people...very content rich web pages load super-fast and downloads are even faster (of course, thats dependent on the network) my Z10 guzzled about 135MB in 24hrs and i didn't download videos nor did i do video chat...so choose your data plan carefully or you have to consciously avoid visiting content rich website because your Z10 will display all the rich content available on the page rather than tone it down |
Re: Blackberry 10 Devices Home: Z10, Q10 Etc by Denn(m): 3:42pm On Apr 09, 2013 |
walcolm: Yes. When I bought my z10 and had no whatsapp access, I took it up with Etisalat and it was a war. They promised to get the update out. Other network users can take it up too...don't call, send emails so you have a trail. Cheers |

It's been over a month now and I'm still loving the blackberry z10 experience. The only problem I'm having is with the expensive blackberry 10 data plan tariffs by our mobile networks. I'm a kinda person that really loves downloads...now I have to really watch the way I browse, log off Facebook when not in use and all. If networks like MTN can give un limited BIS package, what makes bb10 so special that they can't do the same for it? Well...i'm still hoping with time competition will set in then they can come up with reasonable tariffs. Apart from the data ish though, the overall experience has been splendid! |

Team z10, Pls how do I get the updated version of BlackBerry 10 OS. I on on MTN |

Hi, if you go through POST #1 of this thread, you will see some information on data plan FULL BIS works, BIS COMPLETE also works on all network. just avoid the social plans Regular Android and iOS plans also work even the plans for Mifi devices all work on the Z10 MTN and ETIS BIS are supposed to be unlimited in data cap (dont know how far that's true for now) so you can try your hands on those 2 networks |

miky_mouse: Team z10, Pls how do I get the updated version of BlackBerry 10 OS. I on on MTN Not sure MTN has started pushing the update out. find anybody with Etisalat sim card and go to a Wifi area. once you put the Etisalat sim in your Z10 and check for OS UPDATE, your phone will detect it and you can download the update |
Re: Blackberry 10 Devices Home: Z10, Q10 Etc by mikymouse1(m): 4:11pm On Apr 10, 2013 |
walcolm:Thanks. One more, I pre-ordered my z10 from MTN,is my phone locked to their network? |
Re: Blackberry 10 Devices Home: Z10, Q10 Etc by obiscolly(m): 7:22am On Apr 11, 2013 |
walcolm:Thanks for the reply bro. But last I heard BIS only works on blackberry registered apps like bbm on the z10. A user who tried it on some other forum confirmed that. Even when I bought my z10 I was still on my complete month (comonth) package on Glo and it didn't work for me. I gave the customer care a call and they said normal BIS won't work on the z10 and that I'll have to cancel my current subscription and subscribe to the bb10 plan. That I had to do painfully even though I had about half a month left for my subscription to expire. But if it's working for you, i'll like to know which network and plan you're on so I can make a switch asap. Thanks! |
Re: Blackberry 10 Devices Home: Z10, Q10 Etc by walcolm(m): 8:17am On Apr 11, 2013 |
miky_mouse: i dont think its locked because you paid the full hardware cost...networks only lock devices when you get it for a very cheap price in exchange for a tenured contract./...that is not the case in Nigeria. i believe MTN has splashed the OS with their logo... it's only a soft branding and i'm sure you can pop another network sim into it |
Re: Blackberry 10 Devices Home: Z10, Q10 Etc by walcolm(m): 8:39am On Apr 11, 2013 |
obiscolly: i can confirm that GLO FULL BIS and COMPLETE BIS packages work with no problem because i have used both. i am currently using glo COMPLETE...the customer care clowns only conned you into buying their more expensive Z10 data plan i will be switching to Etisalat BIS to test out that network BB10 actually runs on any type of data...you can use regular data plans (iPhone, easyblaze, G-bam etc) so don't let any Customer care person tell you something they don't know |
Re: Blackberry 10 Devices Home: Z10, Q10 Etc by obiscolly(m): 1:18pm On Apr 11, 2013 |
walcolm:I guess u mean 'comonth' by the glo complete package? Also does glo support unlimited bbm? I heard airtel supports it. |
Re: Blackberry 10 Devices Home: Z10, Q10 Etc by mikymouse1(m): 2:57pm On Apr 11, 2013 |
walcolm:Thanks for ur response. How come u r vasted on issues concerning z10. Pls send me ur email. Are u d same walcolm dat posted on crackberry some days ago. My email ocheaustine@yahoo.com |
Re: Blackberry 10 Devices Home: Z10, Q10 Etc by walcolm(m): 6:18am On Apr 12, 2013 |
obiscolly:Yup, i meant COMONTH.. as for unlimited BBM, i think you will only be able to get that when you subscribe to an actual BB10 package from the networks..Etisalat supports, its also possible the other networks are doing the same to stave off competition from Etisalat |
Re: Blackberry 10 Devices Home: Z10, Q10 Etc by walcolm(m): 6:21am On Apr 12, 2013 |
miky_mouse: i am very vast in BB related issues because i have been using a BB for quite a while and despite having used other OS, BB has always been my main device...Finally there is a BB10 OS that has the capability to match and potential to outperform the current suite of competing OSs out there Yes, i am the same Walcolm on crackberry.com 2 Likes |

Re: Blackberry 10 Devices Home: Z10, Q10 Etc by justfree1(m): 5:37pm On Apr 12, 2013 |
those people are criminals, mtn bb10 plans don't work with unlimited bbm anything , am using my second sim now cuz when i exhausted the 200mb bb10 plan, they said i can only ping with my money and when i was on etisalat easyblase only, the bb network logo wasn't on my phone, i had to do the 1k plan before everything started working wella walcolm: |
Re: Blackberry 10 Devices Home: Z10, Q10 Etc by justfree1(m): 5:40pm On Apr 12, 2013 |
bro you don download tire but mtn is watching you, you better manage the 20mb till your tenure expires, otherwise your credit will suffer miky_mouse: |
Re: Blackberry 10 Devices Home: Z10, Q10 Etc by walcolm(m): 7:24pm On Apr 13, 2013 |
miky_mouse: You have to understand that BB10 is blackberry reloaded and unchained. Browsing is fast and everything loads including heavy graphics. There is a natural temptation to play videos and stream music. You will run through your data very fast. Last Saturday I subscribed to 1gb from glo and I exhausted it by Thursday because I was downloading stuff I am currently using glo comonth package. I have tried the new bb10 plans and I don't think I'll bother to use them anymore. BB10 can run on bis without any issues. I prefer to subscribe to 2 comonth for 2800 and get 2gb of data than to subscribe to 1.5gb for 3000 Since you're with mtn, my advice will be for you to subscribe to bis so your data cap will be unlimited |
Re: Blackberry 10 Devices Home: Z10, Q10 Etc by walcolm(m): 7:29pm On Apr 13, 2013 |
justfree.: BB10 runs on any type of data so it should run without any problems on easyblaze. As a matter of fact a friend of mine runs her z10 on her easyblaze sim that she removed from her mifi device The unlimited BBM is only available if you subscribe to Etisalat bb10 plan. It's not available on other plans |
