BlackBerry Z10 UK release date confirmed

It's a looker, but will you invest?

Newly-minted BlackBerry has confirmed that its first BlackBerry 10 handset will go on sale in the UK tomorrow.

The BlackBerry Z10 was announced at glitzy events around the world today and will hit the shops tomorrow.

The handset comes with a 4.2-inch screen, 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage.

It also features the new BlackBerry 10 OS as well as a snazzy camera feature that allows you to rewind through frames to get a good picture.

The handset is also set to go on sale in the US, but sadly not until March 2013 at which point it will set you back $199.99 at Verizon.

The SIM-free BlackBerry Z10 UK pricing is yet to be confirmed but it will set you back £36 a month on all major networks from Carphone Warehouse.

Phones 4 U, meanwhile, has a temporary exclusive on the white edition of the Z10, which it will be selling from tomorrow as well.

4G fans will be relieved to hear that EE will be selling the Z10 on 4G EE plans from £41/month for 24 months, with an upfront cost of £49.99.

The handset will also be available across a range of 3G plans from EE including £49.99 on a £36 per month, 24 month plan.

Vodafone, meanwhile, will offer the BlackBerry Z10 for £29 on a £42 a month deal, while 3 promises that the Z10 is 'coming soon' but doesn't offer anything in the way of a price.

Stay tuned for more detail as we get it - in the meantime, here's our full BlackBerry Z10 review.
