Both my sister and I were due for upgrades on our phones. I had a look online, then in EE, O2 and Carphone Warehouse. Having compared the Z10 instore with SIII, I got my Z10 with Orange for £30 on a £27.90 per month tariff with unlimited mins+texts+500mb data. Expect my phone in a couple of days.
Admittedly, aps aren’t as largely available on Z10. However, I believe you can still sideload all major ones. As I have Kindle (sideloaded) on my playbook without issue, I have everything I really want.
Also SIII camera definitely better than z10 so if you want to make this a consideration, do so. This was a major plus point for my sister who switched to Samsung but then she has a Samsung tablet, (her deal with Orange, £50 for the phone, £26per month for unlimited mins+texts+500mb data, which works out £25 cheaper than my deal but my phone only came out on Thursday).
Neither my sister or I considered an iphone because of the cost, memory limitations and the phaff of using itunes anytime we want to transfer anything to our phones.
A major point about z10 is that if you have a playbook than you can connect to the internet wherever you are on your tablet via your phone. As such, neither Samsung, or apple offer this. I have a wifi only 64gb playbook which was bought for £230 (30th b’day present). If you combine all these costs over a 2 year period that comes to about £930, roughly £38.75 a month. I doubt Samsung or Apple can even come close to doing this at present.

if this phone can function faster and smarter – i’m in come July when my contract is up.

Had they put this phone out 2-3 years ago, I could have seen it gain traction but it’s too little too late. They might have a change in international markets though.

I’ll dig deeper but your post gives me a good second step after my initial pass. I got the same impression from the BB10 event: lots of commitments from big dev shops but few available now.

EA, Gameloft and others have *announced* a lot of games, but they aren’t in the market *now.* Bard’s Tale is pretty big. Great Little/Great Big War Game are reviewed well on other platforms. All the Angry Birds are there, and World of Goo. But the game announcement press releases (and the announcements at the launch event) look to be much more “promises for the future” than “things you can download today.”

Maybe it’s me. Angry Birds Star Wars is the only title from Rovio. But when I search for Gameloft or Electronic Arts, I come up empty. After that, I gave up; perhaps too soon? Thanks!
