Unlocked, SIM free BlackBerry Z10 available from Clove starting March 1st

How would you like to own an unlocked, SIM free version of the BlackBerry Z10? This variant of the all-touch BlackBerry Z10 will be available on March 1st from U.K. retailer Clove. At first, this unlocked version of the initial BlackBerry 10 device will be offered in black with a white model coming down the road later. Clove is accepting reservations now for the unlocked phone, which is being priced at £534.00, including all taxes ($828.82 USD). 

While impatient statesiders who don't mind laying out the fundage could go after the unlocked 'Berry, it is expected that the U.S. launch of the BlackBerry Z10 could take place earlier than expected. Rather than the late March launch date expected for the Z10 to conquer America, T-Mobile has been trying to cut at least two weeks off the release date for the BlackBerry Z10 on its pipeline. Frank Sickinger, who is T-Mobile's head of business sales, said last week that the Z10 is more stable than anticipated and hinted that the carrier could rush the phone through its carrier testing earlier than thought. Six to eight weeks after the launch of the BlackBerry Z10, the physical QWERTY equipped BlackBerry Q10 is expected to be released.
