LONDON, 10th May, 2013 – The best-selling BlackBerry® Q10 smartphone is now available in white at Selfridges and Carphone Warehouse stores.*
Selfridges sold record numbers of the BlackBerry Q10 via its in-store Carphone Warehouse concession ahead of the device going on general release on 30 April. Carphone Warehouse is predicting a similar level of interest for the BlackBerry Q10 in white and has ordered extra stock to meet expected demand.
Graham Stapleton, Chief Operating Officer at Carphone Warehouse says: “The Q10 has been hugely popular since we launched it less than a month ago and we’re expecting that the device will become even more desirable to customers now that a white version is available. BlackBerry has done an admirable job with this new handset, the design is a fantastic mix of traditional – with its QWERTY keyboard – and new – using the BlackBerry 10 operating system and touchscreen. In the eyes of our customers, it seems that BlackBerry’s certainly still got it!”
The highly sought-after new smartphone will be available on O2, Orange, T-Mobile, Three, EE, Vodafone and TalkMobile, free from £33 per month* and £579.95 SIM-free http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/mobiles/mobile-phones/BLACKBERRY_Q10?colourCode=WHITE.
*The BlackBerry Q10 in white will be available from Selfridges and participating Carphone Warehouse stores in the United Kingdom from Friday, 10th May 2013, subject to availability.
