We're 10 months into BlackBerry 10 now and it's certainly been a rocky road - but we've had four awesome mainstream handsets released to cater for all markets. Which has been the best seller for BlackBerry is anyone's guess and probably impossible to predict as the Z30 has only been with us for a short time.
With two all touch options and two (traditional) hardware QWERTY keyboard handsets so far, this selection should offer up a solution for most folk. Which one you have bought would probably depend on what you value most about your smartphone. If apps and gaming are number one then you more than likely went for the Z10 or Z30. If it's communication - whether that be email or social - you may well have hit up the Q10 or Q5.
Pricing of course is always part of the equation and although purchasing BlackBerry 10 devices SIM free is pretty similar in price around the world, when it comes to contracts there are lots of variations. Many countries would have offered the BlackBerry 10 devices for free with a two year deal, some would ask for money up front and some countries require you to pay for the handset in full from day one.
So here at CrackBerry we're putting out the feelers to discover which device was the one you chose. I'm also interested to see if there are any global trends, so once you have made your selection from the following poll would you please be kind enough to jump into the comments and just state which BlackBerry 10 handset you are rocking and your country?
We'll analyze the results and let you know which handset is the most popular in the different regions around the world. If you are still a legacy BlackBerry user feel free to also sound off in the comments.

Are more people going down the SIM free route?
Asking if you folk tend to buy your BlackBerry smartphones SIM free from a retailer or on a contract with a carrier may sound like a simple question, but I suspect it will be dictated slightly by where in the world you are. Many people wouldn't consider buying the device SIM free purely because it means paying for the handset in full, up front - something that most people in this day...
CrackBerry Asks: Would you want a dual SIM BlackBerry?
Having a dual SIM phone is one of those subjects that more than likely doesn't get much thought, although many folk would probably like one. The concept is certainly not a new one and for years now dual SIM devices have been cropping up in some regions around the world, but it seems that it has never taken off with any of the top end smartphone manufactures as far as I'm aware. With...
From the forums: The BlackBerry PlayBook 10 concept and this one looks a real beauty
Currently, as far as we know, another PlayBook isn't on the cards anytime soon for BlackBerry. That doesn't stop our CrackBerry forum members from wanting a new and improved BlackBerry 10 tablet though. Andreas Kimishis1 has come up with yet another concept and I must say that it looks glorious. Since BlackBerry confirmed that the original PlayBook would not a get BlackBerry 10 update...
From the forums: Another BlackBerry Windermere concept
Judging by the amount of comments we seem to get on our concept posts it would appear that seeing what we may or may not get from BlackBerry in the future is rather popular. The above concept arrived the other day from form member ummie4 and while it looks pretty darn sweet I'm not sure we'll see a design like this go into production. The big difference here compared to other Q30/...
