The BlackBerry Q10 is nearing an official release and as such, retail stores and carriers are starting to announce pre-orders both in-store and online. Rogers, TELUS, Future Shop and others are up and running with Q10 info and plenty more are expected to follow soon.
We know that most major carriers in the US, UK, Canada and other markets will be releasing the full-QWERTY BlackBerry Q10 in the coming weeks, so we'll be rounding up the list as more announce pre-orders and official release dates.
It's looking like the end of April is release time but we hope to pin down a more exact date very soon. In any case, if you're looking to pre-order a new BlackBerry Q10, keep reading to see where you can do just that - and be sure to check back if pre-order isn't yet available for your carrier.

As much as I love my z10 I am hoping to sell it for the q10 :/ the battery life is just not doing it for me on the z10, but I absolutely love bb10!!
Posted via CB10
Of course nothing is set in stone, but Sprint has said to be carrying the Q10 model and it's possible we might see it on Tmobile as well.
Posted via CB10
Well it figures, .US carriers aren't announcing any yet.
you missed Clove UK.
So I know one part of carrier testing is radio performance (TX power, RX sensitivity and emissions) and then there's software related tests. The radio tests are pretty straight forward and can be done at 3rd party labs. In Canada the carriers do the software testing and I assume it's the same in the US. The big question: if BB10 has already been tested and approved, why should there be any additional carrier delays for the Q10 in the US?
Posted via CB10
Tower frequency, tower switching performance, data performance - tethering included, in either identity within carrier db, and a whole lot more. Seems usa carriers put too much weight in box branding, à little pathetic to be honest.

Q10 to the rescue please!! Its getting a bit tiring explaining why my BB phone is so 2007 but yet such a speedy texter while speeding and tired of the "what tablet is that I'm using? the Nexus, no; the mini, no; the fire, no; don't feel stupid but I'm sure you never heard of it and don't ask who still uses a BB....
Phones4U had pre-orders before Carphone Warehouse, Jeff Gadway tweeted about it last week.

im WAITING but its taking so so long lol
my precious ... Q10 in a few weeks
is the q10s keyboard backlit?
yes, it is :)
I love my z10 but can't help to ser this phone as sexy and want it as well.
Posted via CB10
This phone should already be in my hands.
Is it possible to get a Q10 from one of the sources provided and rig it to work on Sprint?
Unlikely. Sprint uses CDMA. I don't think you can bring a device from elsewhere and get it to work. Best bet: Give sprint a call and they will tell you, but I don't think it is possible.
Pre ordered this morning white Q10 on Rogers - 16th in line
Bell > http://blackberryq10.bell.ca/en/
Pre ordered on fido this morning. Was 6th in line
MTS didn't even make it onto the Canada list. Boo. Not sure who the boo is for but boo all the same.
Sent from my iPuh-lease-as-IF
I cant wait....come ooooon AT&T
+1. No, +99999999999999999!!
Q10! Q10! C'mon Tmobile, get your act together!
Re: the US carriers, don't forget Sprint stated at the BB10 launch that they would carry the Q10, so let's not all jump to conclusions yet about none of them supporting that device just yet. Just waiting for official announcements is my guess. They were the last ones to get the Z10, they're probably still adjusting to the platform in general.
And I haven't seen any FCC approvals on the Q10 yet either.
I have read a lot of complaints about delays on American carriers, but hasn't it always been this way? I came to BlackBerry when the Bold 9000 came out and I think it was out a couple months ahead of the American carriers. It may have been the same for the 9800 and I am pretty sure it was a couple months for the 9900 and OS7 phones.
She's sooooo beautiful!!!!!... Cant wait to wrap my hands around her :)
Had the Z10 since Jan 31st and absolutely love it, but still really want the Q10.
This may be an idiotic question, but, without having two sim cards, what's the best way for me to rock 2 BB10 devis?
Switching via link every time I want to switch between them?

Sasktel announced pre orders today FYI
Posted via CB10
Adam looks like you should update the post with several other carriers.
CB10- BlackBerry Z10
How to get blackberry balance????? I'm not know how and why my z10 can't do that in the review
Posted via CB10
BlackBerry Balance only works with a BES10 server. You cannot simply set your work email as your work portion of the device without it.
Posted via CB10
Maybe this is the launch date Instagram was talking about lol
Phones4U has it http://www.phones4u.co.uk/blackberry/
I'm due for an upgrade on sprin on 6/1. Would be great if i could get a Q10 by then and rejoin the BlackBerry fold!! Hate this damned 4S im using since my 9930 grew legs and left.
Q10 looks good but this keyboard on my Z10 is killin the game right now but all the best for the Q10 bc I support anything BlackBerry. We on the come back. BB10 there's no stopping us now
White BlackBerry z10
Should also mention Q10 available in black and white at Sasktel.
Fido has theirs up as well.
Posted via CB10
Sasktel preorder is announced on the website. http://www.sasktel.com/search/controller/BlackBerry/BlackBerry-Q10/Smart...
I'm so torn... really digging this Z10... but really want the Q10...
Posted via CB10
Q10 is for die-hard physical keyboard fans who use the device mostly for communication and little else. Otherwise, the Z10 gives you a more well-rounded experience.
+100
Bro I want the Q10. I got a 9900 now and I hate huge, fat touchscreens.
I use mine for much more than communication. 9900 user, once was a 8130 and 9700 user. I really abuse my blackberry. :D
Koodo has updated their FaceBook page and listed the Q10 as coming soon. Hopefully they announce the dates soon. A little disappointed by the prices but I will wait to see what it is at launch time.

Open for pre order in Norway. ETA is the 30th of may.

Any news on South African release?
Posted via a BlackBerry 10 - iPhone killer device
i hear MTN, Vodacom end of April ,... spoke with reps of both ....
Hmmm.... I wonder if the CB staff have the Q10 already because, per the CB Podcast for Z10 and other tech blogs, they all had the Z10 several weeks prior to Canadian and UK releases.
Followed by an article where a CB staff member got mugged or kidnapped for the Q10 ;)
Be warned, dangerous to walk around with a Q10 before release.
Wish O2 would hurry up and list the Q10 on their website for pre order! I'm getting impatient.
Posted via CB10
Wonder if the US will face a month delay like with the Z10?
Posted via CB10
It was a 2 month delay, not 1
Q10 on Verizon but I'm patient as I still love my 9930!
Y'all can let us know how it funtions. Hopefully the BB World will have apps by then.
This post is very very annoying for us US users.
Complain to your carriers. The issue rests with them not BB.
Right, because Blackberry is always the victim and never has any responsibility.
HEHE. That's not what I meant... and I hear you. But in this particular case, and at this point in time, it is solely on the carriers regarding the difference in time between US and Canadian release dates.
I am not mad at BB or Verizon. I am mad at Crackberry for poring salt on our wounds. :)
HEHE. I hear ya. Just took your post as an opportunity to point out whose fault the delay is. Think of yourself as a patsy. :-)
Agree
Posted via CB10
It really is ridiculous
Perhaps BlackBerry should have gotten them into US carriers for testing a heck of a lot sooner.
No word on the rubber back as being an option yet. If im to buy the Q10 it will have to be with the rubber back. The Z10 rubber is perfect.
Ill be waiting a month anyways. I need to know how the app situation plays out, the rubber back mystery, and a price drop would be nice since I already bought the Z10 off contract. 1200$ on phones within a few months is alot lol
They should really do something about the United States' market. No wonder they're having trouble here...
Oh, and I want my Q10 now, of course!
I love my z10
No doubt that the U.S. carrier's will launch it by the end of May.
Fido has them too. You can add them to the cart.

Thanks Robsteve!! I just ordered mine today too!! Adam, blog it!!!
So does SaskTel. See in store for details,
http://www.sasktel.com/search/controller/_/R-Product_Services_BlackBerry...
Pre orderd white Q10 from Rogers, but have serious doubts that I'll actually go to the store to pick one - having Z10 makes it much harder to find an excuse to buy another BB10
First - I think this is gonna be a huge success
Second - I want one!

1st :p
The US is lagging, once again. : /
Our carriers have been lagging in everything for so long now, why change at this juncture?
Well, it's funny there lagging so much but trying so hard not to become dumb pipes they don't see that it we have less faith in them, there will be less room for them to grow. We'll all become complacent and stop hoping simply upgrade when we can, never changing or buying into new services etc. They're becoming dumb pipes by trying to avoid becoming dumb pipes. Or maybe I'm high and wishful that they're insolence is punish.
While the UK is leading the charge and Canada is somewhere in the middle, once again.
