BlackBerry Z10 will arrive to U.S. no earlier than mid-March

The BlackBerry Z10 is the hottest BlackBerry 10 device that RIM now known as BlackBerry has just unveiled, but it won’t be available in the United States until mid-March 2013. The bad news has almost instantly hit BlackBerry stock and it’s gone down a few percentage points.

The Z10 will launch later this week in the U.K. and Canada, but for some reason the U.S. market, the company’s largest, will not get the flagship BlackBerry 10 device for more than a month.

BlackBerry chief executive Thorsten Heins himself confirmed this, so it’s definitely a fact, and not one speaking good for RIM, especially given the delay of BlackBerry 10 and how competitive Android and iOS are right now. It is what it is, though.
