Though the UK and Middle East were the first confirmed regions to get the BlackBerry Z30, TELUS in Canada wasn't shy about chiming in with today's announcement to say that they'll be picking up the big-screened beaut eventually as well. Rogers told us they didn't have any info on the Z30 to share right now, and Bell is all in and will be offering Z30 soon. Most regions should likely have access to the Z30 by the holidays, in any case.
For those unfamiliar, the Z30 promises a slight bump up in processing speed and a significantly bigger screen than the Z10. It also has a new sound system that I'm eager to try out. Of course, there's a whole bunch of new features coming in BlackBerry 10.2 as well. It's shaping up to be a fine choice for those that have fallen in love with the phablet form factor made popular by Samsung's Note lineup.

Canadians, who would you like to sign up with for the Z30? One of the Big Three, or do you want to hold out for WIND, Mobilicity, or someone else?
