Corp IT just gave me a z10 to do some end user BES 10 testing. One of the first things I discovered after provisioning is that Outlook tasks aren't supported. Huh?

Re: what is the mini USB spec required to charge BB

This may help. Go to an AT&T store and pick up one of their charging only mini USB cables. You should be able to check the pin-outs from that.

9810 with 7.1 and a solid "4G" signal in the Boston area. I don't think I've ever seen it drop to anything else around here. Was getting almost solid "4G" on Setar in Aruba a few weeks ago also.
