Rogers Communications Inc. and Telus Corp., two of Canada’s largest wireless carriers, began taking pre-orders for BlackBerry’s Q10 smartphone, a model that sports the company’s classic keyboard.
The phone will be available for C$199.99 ($197) when customers sign up for a three-year contract, Toronto-based Rogers said today in a statement. The carrier didn’t give a release date, beyond saying it would arrive in the “coming weeks.” Telus, based in Vancouver, also didn’t say when the phone would be available.
