    Anyone thinking of buying a Blackberry Q10?

    Looks quite tempting to me, and I particularly like that QWERTY keyboard

    Blackberry Q10

    But I'd prefer PAYG, and wouldn't consider buying Blackberry if they stick to their contract-only policy.

    I've really never understood why anyone thinks those "full" (i.e. tiny, unusable) QWERTY keyboard are a good idea.
    Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

          They've missed the boat, TBH I would buy a windows phone before a BB these days!

            How about you try a modern, fast, subsidized Android phone for a few weeks?
            Nexus 4 is 239 squids, no strings attached, worst case you can resell it it for 90% of the price.

              Looks quite good from the reviews.

              I've had quite a few HTCs from the days of the TYTN (with slide out QWERTY keyboard) to the first touch screen Desire. I've tried a friends S3 but they do seem a bit large.

              I just find tactile keys more productive so am willing to have a look at this in a shop and see.. decisions.

                I was an early adopter of the Blackberry, and the keyboard's are fine, or were at the time however times have moved on an I would not use anything other than a touchscreen like the Blackberry Z10

                  Having used a Psion or three they could be excellent.
