Isn't it great when a rumor works out? Last week, there was speculation that AT&T would be launching the BlackBerry Z10 on March 22nd and on Monday, AT&T made it official. The first BlackBerry 10 model will be priced at $199.99 with a signed two year contract. Pre-orders will start tomorrow, online.
The BlackBerry Z10 can be pre-ordered from AT&T starting Tuesday
T-Mobile has started selling the all-touch BlackBerry Z10 today to its business customers only, for $249.99 with a signed two-year pact. No date for consumer sales has been announced by the nation's fourth largest carrier. Verizon will offer the Z10 at the end of this month and has already said that it will charge $199.99 with a signed two-year contract. Sprint is skipping the BlackBerry Z10, but does plan on offering the BlackBerry Q10 with its physical QWERTY keyboard.
Along with the BlackBerry Z10 handset, AT&T is also offering the new Blackberry Enterprise Service (BES) 10, which provides security and mobile management features for both business and government customers.
"AT&T customers were the first to experience BlackBerry smartphones and services in the U.S. and we are thrilled to bring the next evolution, the BlackBerry Z10, to the nation's fastest 4G LTE network. Customers who have grown to love the tried and true BlackBerry experience will continue to enjoy the easy typing and the secure platform they expect."-Jeff Bradley, senior vice president of devices and developer services, AT&T Mobility
