It's almost been a year since I bought my N9, and I'm starting to get that itch to upgrade. Always seems to happen around a year. Before the N9, I had a Symbian-running Nokia 700, and before that feature phones. So the whopping two smartphones I've owned in my lifetime have run dead OSes. Not that I mind; the N9 is exceptional and the 700 was very capable. But I can't lie, I would really like to own a modern smartphone for the speed. My sister's Moto G is so zippy...while I have no interest in Android, I really do admire how snappy that phone is.

I was browsing Amazon and saw how cheap the new Blackberry 10 flagships have gone - $240 for a new Z10!? I paid more for a new N9 two years after it went on sale!! I can more than afford that. I watched a few videos on the BB10 OS back when it first debuted - watched a few video reviews on the devices last night, and I'm feeling like BB10 might be a nice upgrade from the N9 and Harmattan.

So then I wondered if there was anyone here on the forums who has used both Harmattan and BB10, and how they felt about BB10 in comparison to Harmattan? Hopefully some of you folks can shed some light on it for me.
