We get our hands on the BlackBerry Q10 being sold by the first of three Canadian carriers
By Simon Sage on 30 Apr 2013 11:23 pm 3 43 74The BlackBerry Q10 is finally hitting retail shelves across Canada, and now we get to see what you'll be getting.
Sure, we're all really impressed by the preview package Kevin got, but what will the rest of us get in a store? Well, take a look...
New style headphones with custom gels - check. MicroUSB cable with charging plug - check. Instructions and warranty information that will never be read - check. Q10 with big honkin' battery - check. That's about it, really. It's refreshing to see that the TELUS Q10 will be as devoid of carrier branding as the Z10, though that may change when we check out the Rogers and Bell models tomorrow on launch day here in Toronto.
The only real downside to my unboxing is that my TELUS SIM was taking its sweet time to activate, which means that for now, we won't know for sure what the preloads are going to be. On the plus side, we'll find out what they are tomorrow when you can pick up a Q10 at TELUS. Expect the gallery here to update then once I get some screenshots.
So, Canadians, which carrier are you going with for your BlackBerry Q10 - Rogers, Bell, or TELUS? Are you holding out for WIND? Any particular accessories in the box you'd like to see?
Interested? Grab a BlackBerry Q10 from TELUS online here for $199

Reply camera531 6 hours agoIt's awesome that the US has to wait at least another month! Or, actually that's not awesome. It totally sucks. We got screwed again...
Reply MgnfcntMohok 3 hours agoThe US is not the center of the world. Get used to it. We're all done with you guys expecting that everyone should cater to you.
Reply Balti43 1 hour agoWhy? :( I liked being catered.

Reply DANNOZV8 6 hours agoVideo works just fine on my note2 10.1...haven't tried it on my Z10 yet. I really want Q10 bigtime now.
Reply Kardinal_D 6 hours agoHolding out for Wind, unless I can get one cheaper elsewhere that works on Wind!!
Reply BB30000 5 hours agoWell I'm with WIND and had to wait to get my Z10. I then tried waiting for WIND to get the white z10, before just getting the black w them. It was a painful wait. I did notice many unlocked going for 650-700 on Kijiji in February, so it might be worth checking into if you can't wait a month for WIND. I'm sure they will be on there within hours for $700,750. Just be sure all the Q10s can operate on WIND frequency.

Reply jon4400 6 hours agoThe extra weeks of waiting for the 10.1 software is killing me! Can't wait to try out the new Q10 as soon as it's available in rogers store
Reply Alex_Hong 6 hours agoAwesome unboxing, love that they have those headphones as part of the retail package. Hope my carrier includes that too. Once I get my Q10, my Z10 will be passed over to my sister. Can't wait!
Reply sirk25 6 hours agoVideo works fine on my Z10. I really want a white Q but I have to wait for Telus to come out with it. Then it will be good bye Z and hello Q!! Thanks for the first look at it Simon.

Reply BBjer 6 hours agoIf you're on the telus Z10 then just share to a Bbm contact but don't actually share. Click the link and the video goes to a new page. Maybe there's an easier way but this is how I did it.
I'll look at the Q tomorrow at telus but I'm sure I'll stick with the Z

Reply Detective M Downs 6 hours agoI'm curious to know, which carriers will be including the earbuds with Q10 - please VZW!
Reply wxmancanada 6 hours agoRidiculously awkward angle.
Also, http://www.telus.com/blackberryq10 does not exist try: http://mobility.telus.com/en/ON/blackberry_q10
Don't you think it would make sense to post a video that's more compatible for your readers?
Reply Harold Thompson 5 hours agoThat's bullshit I got be he Z10, got cheaper headphones and wait for apps that come out for the Q10 BlackBerry really shows lack loyalty to consumers who rushed to support them

Reply bjnesbitt 4 hours agoLike the Z10 release will there be regulations in place that will not allow an US user like my self to order an Q10 with a US shipping address? Guess I could pick one up from Ebay.
