We are about to see a wider audience that can get access to the new
BlackBerry 10 operating system, and so far early adopters have had only
one handset to choose from. Now we have news of the BlackBerry Q10 UK
release with a SIM free price that will mean that you better start
counting your pennies if you want to purchase the device.
We heard yesterday that the handset had been put up on the Carphone Warehouse website, and now another retailer Unlocked Mobiles has listed the BlackBerry Q10 with an unlocked price of £529.98 with a release date of April 26th.
This is only slightly more expensive than the same retailer will sell
you the BlackBerry Z10 for at £524.99, while rival online retailer
Expansys has the Z10 priced at £479.99 unlocked. Expansys currently at
the time of writing doesn’t have any information regarding pricing or a
delivery date for the Q10.
Another online retailer Clove has the BlackBerry Q10 listed
at an eye watering £534.99 once VAT has been added, which also comes
with a late April availability date. Online retailers can sometimes see
prices change as the handset gets closer to release but this is unlikely
to happen now with the Q10.
For this sort of money you could purchase the Apple iPhone 5 or
possibly the Samsung Galaxy S4, but there will be a number of consumers
that want to experience BlackBerry 10 with a physical QWERTY keyboard,
although some may be having second thoughts at this price.
Would you pay this much for the BlackBerry Q10?
