There are some hardware differences such as camera, display, processor clock, build quality, etc.. You need to assess what each means to you, however for those of us who are on budget, they may not be that important. Q5 is a great option for the price and mine works well in US with T-Mobile

You should contact the seller for more details of the model. （You can search Q10 on Wiki and look for the bands each model supports.） Then find out which bands your carrier uses. The answer is simple after you done all above.

"The Q10 has a larger battery than the Z10. This battery is specifically for the Z10. The charger will work with either phone but the batteries are not interchangeable. I hope this helps."

We were using this for our T-Mobile (USA) pay as you go sim card, when we travel in the USA. So could use it for internet, phone & texting, especially when free-wifi was available & waiting for delayed flights . . . a PLUS. However, the back plate is no longer secure on the back . . . electrical tape attached now . . . so not designed well, plus battery power not great at all in comparison to my old Motorola Cliq, & my new Sony Xperia &, hence, MB300 Backflip being a cheap phone. It is bulky & cumbersome, you are better off getting a non-keyboard attached phone and ours has been retired . . . the poor battery life was a nuisance!

Great phone, screen is amazing, I haven't try the waterproof option (waiting for an accident!), battery is overall it depends on how many applications you're running and the stamina helps a lot! pics are the best with latest android update to 4.3 got two new features that are really fun, don't know about straight talk, sorry!

The Q and Q10 are on different version paths. So a Q10 needs the Q10 Firmware.

The Q10 requires a micro-size sim card; mine did not come with one, but any T-mobile store will happily furnish and install a sim card at no charge for T-mobile users.

I would second an answer given yesterday. I live in the US and travel extensively. This phone is awesome, but the model I bought from the pandronic store is faulty. The battery was bad, I had to purchase another. The phone shuts itself off several times a day, sometimes in the middle of a conversation, other times while I'm doing something on the internet, I find it to be incredibly frustrating. And of course, the individual from whom I purchased the phone ignored me when I tried to figure out what was happening with the phone. If you do purchase it, get it somewhere else, NOT from pandronic.

I beg to differ, as the international version is a bit different, Mostly he international ones support more bands and the unlocked one not (2600 aka b7 for an lte example) I'm actually looking for one that does support that band cause that's the one supported on my country for lte. There's a "international" version around here but it has pretty bad reviews

The Pre3 is still one of the best phones available as far as I'm concerned. I've been a fan of Palm and HP WebOS and was very disappointed when HP decided to no longer offer phones after owning the Treo, original Pre, and the Veer (only because the Pre 3 wasn't available in the US). I finally found two Pre 3 phones online from a private seller and snapped them up. My friends all use Android or Iphones, but we still stick with the Pre 3 on AT&T; 4G. They still work great and function the way a smartphone should.

The difference is the frequencies it uses. Global GSM will be fine for ATT, you will probably want US version for t-mobile though.

It is the North America version. It is region locked to the USA. It must be used with a North America carrier before it "self unlocks".I had to pay to get my phone unlocked because I live in Singapore.It may not get "4G" in most countries. Most people do not notice because in the USA "HSPA" is effectively the same as "4G". Technically speaking the phone is not "4G".While traveling in the USA the phone appears to receive data just as fast as my iPhone. However, in Singapore it is noticeably slower. No I did not do a data transfer test to check. It is the North America version. It is region locked to the USA.

There's a lot of people having good 3G reception with the Euro version of the N85. Only reason to wait for the Us version is to get a warranty.

Q10 is the same performance as z10, but Q10 has physical keyboard. Thank you.

Internet search helped me. I found a very useful Wikipedia file that described the models. I bought the SQN100-5, but I would have also purchased the 100-1 if I couldn't find the model I got. The first Q10 that was sent to me was a model 100-2, which was advertised as unlocked, but was a Verizon branded model that I returned. FWIW, this is the best phone I have ever owned. My wife has a Samsung S5 and my sister/brother in law,etc... have a iPhone 5, but I like the Q10 MUCH, MUCH more than either.

Rumor is the official TMO version will have the Qualcomm chip instead of the Samsung chip. Not sure if it's better. I won't get this phone just to wait on TMO to turn on 1900 Mhz if it's not already on. It might take them months, if not years. Would be bad to have this phone, and be stuck on EDGE speed.

I am not sure if there is a difference. Mine is a 4G and I seem to get 4G speeds with it on AT&T.;
