BlackBerry's first wave of BB10-running devices have been available in Canada and Europe since the end of January but the long wait in the U.S. will soon be finally over. According to a report by Bloomberg, AT&T will start selling the BlackBerry Z10 on March 22. Verizon and T-Mobile are also set to offer the Z10 at some point, while Sprint will only carry the hardware keyboard-equipped Q10. BlackBerry fans may have to wait for the official announcement though. BlackBerry recently issued a statement saying, "BlackBerry has not announced official launch dates for the BlackBerry Z10 in the U.S. and we are not able to confirm any rumored launch dates on behalf of our carrier partners."
