A friend of mine who works for Etisalat sent me this picture. He said they received them earlier in the week and are being tested. No official release date yet.

illini - any more news from your friend at Etisalat about a release date?
UK is end of April it seems, so I guess Dubai should be similar.
Hope you can shed some light on this!

I asked. Still no official release date. But I'm assuming that it will be very close to the UK release, same as with Z10. Hopefully before May.

I'll update if I get any new information.

Thanks! Let's hope it comes out towards the end of April... have been waiting for ages for this thing! Looking forward to hearing news from you. The Etisalat customer service centre is still silent on release dates.

Any news illini? I see a lot of testing going on, but nothing firm on release dates.... Flirting with an end-of-April/start-of-May, which I'm sure will be the time frame.

According to my source, Du are done with their testing and Etisalat is close behind. Waiting for the word from BlackBerry to announce dates.

It's official! The Q10 has been announced by Blackberry as released to the UK market by end of April. Some phone stores are taking pre-orders now.

Is the UAE going to follow suit?

I pre ordered from Etisalat the Q10, they told me today to expect an sms within a week to pick up the device, they seem to be fairly sure it will be released before end of April.
