was putting in my preorder today at a wireless wave location in toronto, the rep said the z10 will be in stock and ready for pickup on friday!

What carrier?

[backsidetailslide]

im preodered a bell phone

[Dimitri.69]

When speaking to a Rogers Manager, he said that he got a email saying that the phone should be released either tomorrow after the launch OR on Feb the 1st as well. He could not give me anymore info but he claims the email says that. When i asked him WHY they said either tomorrow or Feb 1st, he claimed that RIM sent them skids of the phones at the warehouse but the reservation ones will come out late.

I pre-ordered at BestBuy on the 24th. The order screen said "Street Date Jan 31"
Keeping my fingers crossed

Did you take a screenshot or a picture of it? I know the rep must of been there but yea. Anyways as much as i want to believe we will get it tomorrow, i doubt it. Rogers reservation system shows OPEN still. The Best buy store owner i know said he never got a skid of them at all. Neither did any other best buy yet.

The problem is that when you speak to any carrier reps, they will tell you what you want to hear. This has happened many times. If the phone gets released tomorrow, i will bite my tongue. If it does not, i hope that who ever believed the reps, learns not to believe everything they say.

The sooner.... the better!

[Dimitri.69]

Agreed!. The sooner, the better it will be. I hope it is before this weekend tho.

If RIM says that they are going to release them in 2-3 weeks, i will be pissed.

[jvictor77]

I was told 2 weeks today at my nearest Rogers store.....total confusion - what a smokescreen!

[Dimitri.69]

Like i said. Every rep we speak to, will give us a different answer. You want to know why? Its either because they do not want to give us the info OR most likely they do not have the info & are just claiming the dates they come up with. I know Rogers reps very well to know the tricks they play.

Hi guys,

I will be doing the blackberry10 promotion for blackberry (as a promo rep) for the upcoming 5 weeks. My first visit to a store is on february 5th and on the interview, the district manager clearly told me that we would only visit stores that have the bb10 available.

[Dimitri.69]

Hello Oth Man

The problem is that even if that date is correct, tomorrow at the RIM announcement we will know the truth on which date it will be released on.

[Casanostra]

Hey,

For sure. Was just throwing my 2 cents.

On a (not totally) unrelated note, I will receive my z10 on friday, free of charge of course and I can keep it after ! Can't wait !!

[Dimitri.69]

Well yea you are doing a promotion for them. They will give you the phone for free so you can test it out & show it off. Most likely we shall receive the phone before the end of the week. I doubt they will make us wait for a long time.

That could be something that you might not be allowed to mention yet? I'd hate to see you lose your job over this.

Agreed!. I would take the picture of you ( if it is you) just in case they are reading the forums. It would be a shame to lose your job over this to be honest.

[Casanostra]

Hum... didn't think of that... blame it on the excitement! Will do

[colin97]

I have a feeling its going to be today, or tomorrow, and all of these release date rumors are to throw us off.

It could well be either today or tomorrow. No one will know unless someone leaks it out OR wait until RIM says something.

[shankeith]

tomorrow on Rogers

[Dimitri.69]

tomorrow on Rogers

Do you have any proof of this or any sources you got this from

[gq_stylz_s]

tomorrow on Rogers

I'd also like proof of this, or at least know how you found out?.... But I suppose I'll find out myself in 11 min..

Every Rogers reservation says OPEN still. I called 24 times with different voices & all the reps said different things.

[darylalbert]

February 5, 2013 seems to be the Canadian release date...
