Will the new Blackberry 10 devices be pentaband in Canada. I ask because I am currently with Rogers but want to switch to Wind. I want to get a BB 10 device now, but will wait if the phones are not penta band.

The current Engadget review seems to state the ATT and Rogers/Bell/Telus model with LTE will also support the Wind and T-Mobile HSPA+ frequencies:

"BlackBerry will offer four separate SKUs of the Z10, effectively boiling down to one for each of the US LTE carriers (AT&T, Verizon and Sprint) plus an HSPA+ model. The version we tested offered quadband LTE at 2, 4, 5, 17 (700/850/1700/1900MHz) plus pentaband HSPA+ I, II, IV, V, VI (800/850/1700/1900/2100MHz) and quadband EDGE. A second LTE / CDMA model, presumably intended for Verizon, offers LTE band 13 (700MHz), dual-band CDMA (800/1900MHz), dual-band HSPA+ I, VIII (900/2100MHz) and quadband EDGE. A third LTE model offers quad-band LTE at 3, 7, 8, 20 (800/9001800/2600MHz), quadband HSPA+ at I, V, VI, VIII (800/850/900/2100MHz) and quadband EDGE. Finally, there's the pentaband HSPA+ model at I, II, V, VI, VIII (800/850/900/1900/2100MHz) with quadband EDGE."

Someone please confirm by tossing a Wind or T-Mobile SIM into a Z10. Kevin, Adam, Bla1ze?

Bump, I would like this confirmed.
