w perhaps i'll wait... or perhaps I'll do that and check out a Q20 if/when they arrive as I'm not going to be able to wait until the second half of the year. Besides, I've still got other BBs here waiting to be traded in... choices, choices...
I am very happy with the Q10 now that I have OS 10.2.1 on it. After I installed that there was a little bit of work (not bad) to install google play services and google account manager, and then to side-load the Snap market (which downloads android apps directly from google play and installs them). You can skip the first two if you don't want apps that use Android's google login, but I needed google maps and google voice to login properly. Also downloaded the app for my credit union, Google Translate, Tripit, Ebay, United, Zoho CRM, and Amazon. They all work great.
If you get a Q10 let me know and I'll upload the APK files I used to get started. After you get the google account services and Snap installed once then you won't have to worry about this stuff again.
10.2.1 also brought better lock screen notifications, configurable quick menu options, and a few other nice things. Too bad T-Mobile has delayed their release of it for another month while they work out WiFi Calling but you can always install the general version without WiFi Calling for now.
