T-Mobile Planning Mid-March Release Of BlackBerry Z10 To Be First Among U.S. Carriers

During the BlackBerry 10 launch event in New York City last week, BlackBerry announced its BlackBerry Z10 & Q10 would be available this March, although the Q10 may require a bit more time in the oven before it’s made available for consumers. Official release dates would be announced by BlackBerry’s carrier partners, one of which is announcing today it plans to be one of the first to make the BlackBerry Z10 available to its customers as soon as possible.

T-Mobile USA Head of Business Sales Frank Sickinger spoke with Bloomberg today and revealed the BlackBerry Z10 is “more stable than … anticipated,” which could mean a faster launch on its network over its competitors. Sickinger believes the BlackBerry Z10 could land on T-Mobile by mid-March.

Considering a leaked T-Mobile roadmap was released yesterday that highlighted the BlackBerry Z10’s launch date as March 27th, then Sickinger’s statement rings a bit of truth if the device is in fact performing better than the company originally expected.
