All signs point to Sprint being behind the other carriers on releasing BB10 phones. It sure would be nice if Sprint recognized the small opportunity it may have by making BB10 phones available, in store, by mid February. I doubt they would pick off huge numbers from ATT and Verizon, but with Unlimited Data and a 1 month jump, they might get a few. I know I will most likely move to another carrier if they are going to far past mid march on releasing the phone.

Not very encouraging news in the link and Sprints press release. Later in the year? Not positive! Wow, and NO Z10. just Q10.

RUMOR: based on a few reps i spoke w/, they were leaning toward end of Feb,,, this is not written in stone...

My guess is when Sprint went to bed with Apple there are some contract issues with other devices. I think thats why they are only offering the BlackBerry Q10. Sprint can say that its not a full touch screen device and stop any litigation from Apple.

I also feel this might have something to do with Sprint not offering the Z10 as well as them never fully bringing Windows 8 phones to market.

I just received a response from @sprintcare on twitter to this question I sent to them:

@sprintcare what's with the lack of Blackberry Z10 on @sprint news release, really not carrying it?

Sprint Care Sprint Care ‏@sprintcare

@Z_Mc88 We're stoked about the BB10! - We will definitively be getting it, check it out here: BlackBerry 10 Bold with Truly Unlimited Data from Sprint *CDM

Now this could just be a misstep by the social media rep, but this to me says they will have the Z10, just no announcement yet. I sent a follow-up question and will post if I get a response.

Perhaps everyone should bombard them with the same question: "What about the Z10?"

But, my gut is telling me they won't be carrying the Z10. I've been with Sprint for YEARS, but come August when my contract is up, if they don't have the Z10 (or future BB10 fullscreen), then I'll most likely leave.

This is from a different post I sent to Sprint's twitter account, and got a different answer from the one above.

@sprint No Blackberry Z10? #nevahold

@Z_Mc88 No official word on the Z10, hopefully we get it. Keep posted at BlackBerry 10 Bold with Truly Unlimited Data from Sprint for the latest Sprint BB10 news *DJS

I believe that Sprint will offer the Z10 at some point but may be a while. If you look at the device lineup that they have on line, they are very limited on devices with physical keyboards (which I prefer). I hope all of the touch screen users get access to the Z10.

I'm a long time sprint user I got a email up when AT&T or TMoblie get there Z10 bye bye sprint

I asked a rep about the Z10 and she asked her manager for me and they said in the spring sometime that they are not exactly sure when but they are going to carry the Z10. I'll be happy with that instead of depressed and assume they will not get the Z10 just because they haven't confirmed it. They haven't confirmed anything so until then...I have a nice smile on my while I pick out accessories for my Z10(soon to be mine at least)

I do not believe anything the reps and managers say. They all say different things. Until there is a press release about it, then to me, they are not getting it.

I signed up for T-mobile notifications. I'm going to sign up for AT&T too. Clock is ticking Sprint...
