Although most of the conversation surrounding the BlackBerry Q10 has been focused on the US launch for AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon and Sprint, the first full QWERTY BlackBerry 10 device has now also arrived in another large market for BlackBerry. Landing on sale throughout India on June 6th, the BlackBerry Q10 will be available offered at the Rs. 44,990 (approximately. $791 USD) price point and will of course, come preloaded with BlackBerry 10.1.
In case you're keeping track, that's slightly a bit higher price than the Rs. 43,490 some Indian retailers were selling the BlackBerry Z10 for when it launched in the region but, the pricing doesn't appear to be official -- just what some retailers are asking for it. So I guess we'll hear soon enough how the market feels about that pricing. If you're looking to pick up a BlackBerry Q10, the device will be available through 1,000 retailers across 20 cities in India. Will you be getting the lovely keyboard in your hands?
