The Blackberry Q10 has been available on leading U.S. carriers including AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Wirefly and also Amazon.com for quite some time now. Sprint customers can now purchase the QWERTY-equipped smartphone starting Friday, August 30. The pricing is the same as for Verizon and AT&T, $199.99 with a two-year contract. T-Mobile, on the other hand, offers a different pricing structure with new promotional deals.
The smartphone, which debuted in late January, has a full-fledged QWERTY keyboard with a 3.1-inch Super AMOLED touch screen.

"Our customers have anxiously awaited the arrival of the BlackBerry Q10 smartphone," David Owens, vice president of Sprint product development, said in a press statement. "Its best-in-class physical keyboard, productivity features, enhanced security capabilities and apps make it easy to be productive at work and connected to friends and family after hours."
The device is available in two colors, black and white, but Sprint customers can pre-order the device for only the black variant. White is likely to be made available Friday.
