While Kevin was getting all drooly over his white BlackBerry Z10 from Rogers, I got up close and personal with the TELUS retail packaging. Though the contents remain more or less the same, it solidifies a few things about what you get from the store. For one, there's minimal carrier branding, both on the box and on the device. Secondly, there are the bare essentials for accessories; you get a USB cable, wall charger, and headphones.
Though the headphones are admittedly awesome, I was definitely happy that I got an extra cleaning cloth and pouch holster with my review unit. That said, y'all should make sure you stock up on accessories from ShopCrackBerry. The official BlackBerry cases are all really great, and big-name third parties like OtterBox and Case-Mate.
So, who picked up a BlackBerry Z10 on TELUS today? After looking at our plan comparison chart, which Canadian service provider is appealing to you the most?
