BlackBerry Q10 Pre-orders begin at TELUS, Future Shop

The BlackBerry Q10 smartphone is expected to launch sometime in April and while various Canadian carriers are expected to carry the QWERTY keyboard-toting BB10 smartphone, TELUS is the only one who has let us know that they're taking preorders. The Q10 will retail for $199 on a 3-year term or $700 outright with a month-to-month plan on TELUS.

The BlackBerry Q10 is the device that many of the RIM faithful are holding out for, it is the evolution of the popular Bold 9000 and 9900 but with a vastly updated BB10 OS and all the modern features befitting a marquee smartphone. I think it is going to be a huge seller for BlackBerry, specially since there's high likelihood of adoption by corporate and government users. Check out our video demo of the Q10 from the BB10 launch. Future Shop has also announced its own pre-order availability starting today.

The Q10 smartphone will be available at Future Shop on the Bell, Rogers, TELUS and Virgin Mobile Canada networks in the coming weeks. Customers can pre-order the new BlackBerry Q10 from any Future Shop store in Canada with a $50 deposit.
