Settle an argument, please

No, that would be way too expensive: When I got my free Q10, it had to be with a 2 year contract... Back in May. I shudder at the thought of what it would cost me to get an iPhone off contract.

I'll show ya my thousand dollar receipt next Friday lol. Hurts even typing that.

Its called swappa sell ur q10 to make up the difference for the iPhone.

As the OP has often stated, he prefers his Q10. I don't think he will be switching.

The OP is a SHE.

And it's true, I love my Q10. I also find that not having my phone connected is a huge pain, sometimes. I've had pretty bad luck in the past, with iPhones, though when they work, they are really easy. I think I should stay in money saving mode LOL.

OUCH!!! I think I can feel your pain already.

So... You guys really think Apple Pay is going to take off and be the mainstream way to pay for stuff? I'm not being sarcastic, I'm curious because my understanding of this is infantile, at best.

I think it depends on merchants. Kinda like only having an AmEx card and then realizing you can't actually use it everywhere. Same thing with Square IMHO. That said, I was skeptical at first and now I'm hopeful. But realistic

Is this a joke? Blackberry vs. iOS?

No, no joke. I've had the worst luck with phones and at the moment, save for a couple of issues that stem from not having all my devices connected, I'm quite pleased with my Q10.

2 very diff devices. Anyone who's used bb10 will tell you it does not re boot like old bbos.
If you value using a keyboard to type like my wife then stick with the q10.

Seems like you have no reason to switch to iPhone then. Like my wife. She uses her device as a communication tool with bbm, text emails as well as social medial Facebook and such. She has no urge to switch to iPhone.
However I can't wait for my ip6+

Apologies. I thought I'd heard you say otherwise. No harm intended.

I think that choices of phones/platforms are all a matter of personal taste and need. I liked my BlackBerry devices when I had them, but I was mainly using them for communication (emails, texts). Syncing my calendar, contacts, tasks, etc. was a royal pain as we did not have a BES server. If we had one of those, it would have been near perfect at the time. But my needs changed. I use my device not only for communication (and really, less so these days), but I want to watch movies, listen to music that I purchased through iTunes, browse the web, etc. At the time I switched, BB wasn't really good at those. It may be better now; I don't know. But I'm pretty well invested in the Apple ecosystem, so the iPhone makes sense for me. For those people who are invested in Google services (gmail, Google Docs, etc.), an Android might make more sense. BB remains an excellent device for communication. The physical keyboards are second to none. My needs changed, and so my device choice changed. Everyone is different, and everyone will have their own choice as to what they think works best for them.

To echo many of the previous posters, top notch support (from Apple as well as 3rd party developers). My z/10 experience left me with a bad taste in my mouth regarding blackberry as company and their inability to get things right. Headless api's were non-existent, the camera on the z10 was mediocre, battery life was horrible, not to mention bb world was/still full of trash apps. With that being said, I did enjoy the keyboard as well as the hub. From consumer/professional pov I see no point (at this time) of purchasing a blackberry device.

I put up with bricking and nuking devices and shoddy manufacturing such as off center trackpads. The thing that killed it for me, as much as I DO LOVE BB10 and my Q10, was the abandonment of native app development and the reliance on grabbing APKs to install Android apps. W H Y in all that is holy would I choose one platform and load it up with unsupported unoptimised apps from another?

That was the end for me. I actually got some Amazon apps to test that solution. Out of ten apps I loaded seven either did not run properly or not at all or were unusable.

I get a phone so that the phone works for me, not for me to find workarounds to mitigate deficiencies, such grabbing other platforms' apps without the consent and support of the developers.

BlackBerry turned its back on the consumer market. As a consumer, I feel no loyalty to a company that hasn't got or won't support what I want.

The day Apple pulls that kind of shenanigans I will leave Apple. Somehow I don't think that's likely to happen anytime soon.

IPhones are for those who want no hassle at all, I may be wrong but that's what I think first with Apple...

I have had two Android phones and one Android tablet. After I gave up on my Android tablet for the iPad, I cannot be happier even though I basically lost $750 that I paid for the Android tablet and coughed out another $750 for the iPad. The iOS UI is so much cleaner and smoother. I am a firm believer of "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication".

Although my ecosystem is primarily on Google......Gmail, Google Drive and so on, I have found that many of the Google application are actually working better on iOS than on Android. Besides, I have a big investment on iTune and naturally, it works better in iOS devices (yes, I know your can play iTune music on Android devices, but not a straight forward task).

My other family members have iPhone 5 and provide me good comparison. That's why this time when I am eligible for upgrade on my phone, I have decided to order the iPhone 6+ to replace my Samsung Galaxy S phone and say goodbye to Android.

Mobile device is a very personal thing. You should make your choice based on your personal preference, personal taste, and your ecosystem.

Your friend will actually be able to buy phone accessories, High quality apps, and won't have to listen to people asking "wtf is that?".
You can continue using the 2015 equivalent of this ...

Damn I had one of these.

Me too. Memories of how exciting it was to get calls in the middle of the supermarket.
