No word yet about the phone’s official price, but rumor has it that Canada’s BlackBerry, formerly known as Research in Motion (RIMM), is taking the “premium lane” similar to the Apple iPhone 5 and few Android devices. A source from a third-party online store told us that the unlocked BlackBerry Z10 in white will arrive first this quarter sporting $700 to $800 price tag. It is worth noting that the model that will arrive online is the “unlocked” variant and not a carrier-subsidized model.

In United States, major carriers will offer the BB Z10 for $199.99 with service agreement plus additional fees for taxes and data plan. Off-contract, the BlackBerry Z10 is priced $600 each. Verizon Wireless said in a press release that its BB Z10, as well as the BB Q10 (with physical keyboard), will tap its faster Long Term Evolution network or 4G LTE. Verizon also added that it will simultaneously launch the white and the black models on launch date.
With the new BB 10 mobile operating system, the BlackBerry Z10 offers a new “look and feel” and rivals the top 2 smartphone players, Android and iPhone — and threatens the anticipated growth of Windows Phone. The handset features a 4.2-inch LCD display with 1280 x 768 resolution at 356 pixels per inch, beating the display on the iPhone 5 and the Google Nexus 4. The Z10 also features an 8-megapixel back-facing camera, a front-facing video BBM video chat camera, dual-core processor, 2GB RAM and 16GB of on-board storage with micro-SD card slot for additional storage.
