Retailers in the UK have begun taking pre-orders for the BlackBerry Q10 smartphone, the second BB10 device to be made available by BlackBerry.
The device will not be cheap. An unlocked model will sell for £579.95, but O2, Orange, Vodafone and EE will each have versions if you prefer to get on a two-year contract.
For example, TNW says O2 has unlimited calls and texts with 1GB of data for £32 per month while other carriers are more expensive. EE has the only LTE network in the UK, and their similar plan starts at £41 per month.
The device will be available by the end of the month.
Q10 devices are notable due to their full QWERTY keyboards and small 3.1-inch touchscreen. Under the hood is a dual-core TI OMAP 4470 1.5GHz, 2GB RAM and 16GB of internal storage (microSD slot can expand another 32GB).
