I've gone ahead and acquired a Z10 and thought I'd offer a status report.
After a fair exposure to the Z10, I've been quite impressed from the user's perspective. It has a better than retina display, great call quality (people told me that they noticed the difference), faultless fluidity of UI, top connectivity assets, enough swiping to satisfy an N9 owner, surprisingly good build quality, it's a worthy competitor.
The Z10's tweaking potential is not what the N9's is. Maybe that will change, but right now, they can't even run apps in the background on BB10. So far, I've enabled developer mode on the Z10 in order to side load Netflix (which works very well) and some other Android ports. Hopefully, a future BB10 release will open things up a bit and app capabilities will continue to flourish and more tweaking will be possible. At any rate, current offerings are more than adequate to make the Z10 my daily driver at the moment.
Now, will I stick with the Z10 once the HTC One, iPhone 5, and GS4 become available at T-Mobile? Hard to say, but I wouldn't be surprised if I stick with this one.

Ha ha ha, I think of the Z10 as the opening line of a long seduction that BlackBerry is trying to use to convince loyal customers to stay and to woo competitor's customers into the fold.
It's not all good news for BlackBerry, but given the reported defection rate that the Z10 is producing by pulling in customers from other platforms, their return to profitability last quarter, and the anticipated Q10 coming soon, they seem to be doing okay for now.
To me, the comparative risk of buying a BlackBerry device is that iOS and Android have zero risk of abandonment or of falling off of the leading lap of the smartphone race. That risk would screw up both the resale value and the continued usefulness of the BlackBerry if something bad happens.

For me, BB10 at least gives Qt developer a viable platform to develop for. BB is sticking to it and improves it fast, and the user base is growing quickly. At this stage the app download stats are easily comparable to Harmattan back in 2011, and still on the rise.
First non nokia phone in 17 years... Mr Elop has a lot to answer for!!!
