Google play with a Z10

I need help linking my device a Z10 to google play apps.

I've got the account registered in the settings on the phone, but have been round the houses in google play trying to work out how to get my device registered on google play.

Is it possible to get round this, or should I forget it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

    Isn't the Z10 you refer to a Blackberry Z10 ?
    If so, you will generally only be able to load apps from the Blackberry app store.

    Thanks DUTR, I was hoping to get round it, as the apps on Blackberry are limited

    Possible you can side load apps that is download app put on sd card and install .
    Loads of app sites but many will be dodgy .

    Have a look at.

    Thanks for the replies, I've just got to run software updates on my phone then I'm going to give amazon a go, I like the phone just a bit limited sometimes, think I'll get a Samsung next time, shouldn't have a problem with apps then,

    Update your software to latest version & you can download almost any android app you like by installing 1mobile market app on Blackberry world.
    This breathes new life into the Z10 & prices of handset have risen as a result.It is a great phone and specs are good too.
    2gb ram
    Higher ppi than iPhone
    4g compatible
    Nfc
    SD card slot. To name a few.It is highly underated
