I have an iPhone 5 16gb but am thinking of switching to a blackberry Q10. Would this be a mistake?

I've had blackberries before and liked them. Just getting a bit bored of the iPhone.

Q10 is a solid and capable phone. That said, consider the ecosystem you will be abandoning. Right now the BB store has less in it than even Windows does. See the links but given the fact that their sales are almost non existent in the US market and worldwide late last year 56% of all BB's sold were running the old OS7 with only 42% sold running the new OS10, that doesn't inspire long term confidence that a device would be supported much less grow with you over the course of a contract. If you're that bored then go Android, but I would advise against throwing good coins at a bad proposition that is the current BB world. Best luck.
