so I just called a Bell store (I'm in montreal)

Q: when will we be able to buy a BB10 phone?
A: jan 31.

she told me they don't have them in stock right now...so if there's no delay on RIM's side, I'll have a bb10 in my hand next thursday!

she also told me that her manager tried one, and he was verry impressed with it.

she didn't want to tell me anything about the price.

what do you think?

I think I will just wait til the 30th.

[gorang]

I heard from (fairly) reliable source Feb 1st. Would be great if this was true because they can really take advantage of the post-launch momentum. Time will tell.

Bell seems to be saying this, my friend asked his rep and the rep said the 31st.
5 days until we know for sure...

Bell reps don"t know!!!!!!..... No retail store employee's know when it will be available!!!!!!!! They are all just guessing!!!!!!!

There are 300 threads on this.. If you heard it from any front line worker its not a fact its a guess!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why are you screaming?

[howarmat]

wait wasnt confirmed yesterday it was feb 5th?

[BBOttawa]

Every carrier has a different launch date, it's totally their call. I wouldn't be surprised in the least if some had it January 31st, and other had it March 15. An early launch even if it's only on a few carriers will definitely be a good thing!

A friend of my uncle's neighbor's friend's brother's boss tells me that the January 31st rumor is correct... it's January 31st, 2014.

Is that the uncles cousins friend who lives down that road where the tree has a crooked branch? Must be true then.

Oh come on don't spoil everyone's fun. It's fun and takes up time until Jan 30. I think its true!

[Thunderbuck]

People I know in retail wireless don't expect to see it available before the 5th.

[panterarck]

People I know that you may know but we all know for sure said it was in stores 2 days ago....and we're just sitting here like asses talking about it when we could have been buying it!!! 5 more days peeps...just wait and see.

hey... hold on... why would we use common sense when we could trust the same people that didnt even know the playbook existed and have been feeding iphones over 'the dead blackberries' for almost year?

[altrax]

was this bell rep also a stripper? because that would be a cool twist

ontopic: I guarantee BB10 phones will be available on January 30th.... it's called an updated Dev Alpha

[Bigbacala]

I put a deposit on one at Best Buy yesterday.
The order screen said "Street date Jan.31"
Whatever that means.

[gravymonster]

Cool. That means AT&T should have them by March 2015.

@blackberryscoop tweeted earlier this week promo stuff for some canadian carriers were being shipped, that promo material was mentioning a february 5th availability. I don't have that tweet here right now, but I remember he mentioned at least Rogers in it. He also said something about the first BB10 device shipments, which should happen soon.

[G-bone]

Nobody knows...but wouldn't it be nice?

Yes. Because everyone who works for Bell does that.

I'm sorry, but @blackberryscoop is about as trustworthy as the guy selling the Sham-Wow or the Chop-It

[mrfreetruth]

I don't know about Bell but Rogers get their shipments every Thursday as in Thursday January 31 so they need TIME to set up for Feb 5 or feb 4th if we are lucky the day after superbowl BB10.(that's what i heard for rogers)
