BlackBerry: Z10 Launch was best BlackBerry smartphone launch ever

BlackBerry just sent out a release offering the following statement, "In Canada, yesterday was the best day ever for the first day of a launch of a new BlackBerry smartphone. In fact, it was more than 50% better than any other launch day in our history in Canada,” said Thorsten Heins, President & CEO of BlackBerry. “In the UK, we have seen close to three times our best performance ever for the first week of sales for a BlackBerry smartphone.” No actual figures or numbers were released but this indicates a fresh start for the new BlackBerry 10 OS.

We're still waiting for factual sales and activation figures from BlackBerry and their carriers.
