Please post any updates here, kind of ridiculous they announce the phone but don't announce availability through carriers.

that is up to the carriers not BB

considering that when they announced the Z10 and Q10, we had a time frame for US release, to not hear anything about the US carriers, does not bode well for those of us in the States. it would be a major fail, if US carriers do not offer the phone, and probably drive a lot of people that still use blackberries to other operating systems.
