UK department store Selfridges brought in a huge crowd today as they were the first to offer up the newly-launched BlackBerry Q10 for sale. While the device doesn't go on sale in Canada until next week, Selfridges was the first off the line offering up the Q10 SIM free for £579.99. While it's a pretty hefty price to pay outright for a device, it didn't seem to stop crowds of BlackBerry fans from picking one up today.
Michael was on scene and sent in some photos from this morning where he was told that Selfridges ran through 1,000 Q10s in a matter of hours and is on par to sell plenty more throughout the weekend.
Check out the gallery above to see some of the action at Selfridges today.
