  1. I have seen the Q10 listed at various prices. Seems the difference is price is based upon which chipset is used. I am trying to determine what the chipset differences are when it comes to features and performance.

    I currently use a 9715/9720 and like it but have been told the BB OS 10 is much better than the OS 7 my current phone uses. I hope to find someplace that actually details what, if any, differences exist between various editions/models of the Q10.

    FWIW, I want the physical keyboard as my fat, clumsy fingers don't work well with touch screen keyboards. When I try to use my wife's Galaxy I end up with everything other than what I was teying to do.
