BlackBerry launch News from Sprint, Virgin and Telus

So maybe I should have waited a little bit longer as more BlackBerry launch news has come in, this time it’s from Sprint, Virgin and Telus. Sprint just has a ‘coming soon’ page up on their website for the BlackBerry Q10. Virgin Mobile says starting today they’re taking pre-orders for the BlackBerry Z10 and it will be available online February 5th for only $149.99 but you’ll need a three year agreement with them. Telus up in Canada is getting the BlackBerry Z10 on February 5th as well for $149 with 3yr agreement or a flat $650! Again, all three abridged press releases below for you…

TELUS today launched the new BlackBerry® Z10 smartphone powered by BlackBerry® 10 in Canada. The new BlackBerry Z10 is the first smartphone to launch with the re-designed, re-engineered and re-invented BlackBerry 10 platform, giving customers a powerful and unique new mobile computing experience. The BlackBerry Z10 smartphone is the fastest and most advanced BlackBerry smartphone yet, and offers a smarter experience that continuously adapts to a customer’s needs.

TELUS’ 4G LTE coverage provides peak download speeds of up to 75 megabits (Mbps) per second, with an expected average of 12 to 25 Mbps ** and if a TELUS customer travels outside of 4G LTE network coverage areas, they will move seamlessly to the existing 4G HSPA network with no disruption of service.
