New Blackberry experience

I'm due for a mobile upgrade, and am debating between numerous models. One factor should be (I suppose) whether I'll continue to have integration with my TL. Based on what I've read here, it seems that iPhones work just fine with HFL. Does anyone have any experience (positive or negative) with the BB Z10? I'm on the fence, and if there are any issues with integration, that would help me make up my mind.

I have a 2010 TL SH AWD and previously had a Blackberry Torch 9850. It worked fine with the TL - address book uploaded properly, etc. I just got my Z10 a few weeks ago and it too is working fine. I first unpaired the 9850 from the TL Bluetooth and deleted the phone book. Then I paired the Z10 and uploaded the phone book. It took a few minutes (5?) and at the end it said 330 contacts were uploaded but the file size was too big. Not to fear - as far as I can tell, it did upload all of my contacts. The Z10 address book is chock full of Linked In contacts, Facebook contacts, etc. but the TL seemed to just upload my "regular" contacts - no duplicates. One note - the TL phonebook does not show company names. I had about 7 contacts without first and last names - just company name. After my first upload, I thought those contacts were missing. I scrolled down past the Zs and there the entries were - as numbers only. So I went back into my Z10 and added the company as a First and Last name. Example: First: ABC; Last: Company. Uploaded my phone book again and now under the A's, I have ABC Company and the phone number. All other dialing, speed dialing, answering, call history, etc. work fine. Hope this helps.

I just linked my Z10 bluetooth today with no issues. The pairing process was very simple in both the car and the phone.

Z10 works great with the TL. You can send e-mails and text via voice now.

Thanks for the replies. Good to know it syncs well. It's still got it's warts, it seems, like the near total elimination of bridging. But at least knowing it'll sync, and that the voice activations stuff works, keeps it in the running.
