BlackBerry Q10 and BBRY Comeback Kids: 6/21 AT&T Release Date?

Called the "BlackBerry you always wished for" the BlackBerry Q10 could bring BlackBerry back into profits and with QWERTY appeal. It will be coming to AT&T, soon.

BlackBerry stock prices on Friday, increased after another positive report. Last week, Jeffries analyst Peter Misek reported that the BlackBerry Q10 was well-received by buyers, and sales should offset the slowing of Z10 sales.

Wells Fargo Analyst Maynard Um stated that the Q10 sales may enable BlackBerry to beat its expectation for the first quarter. There was good Good Q10 customer interest and demand.

BlackBerry Q10"The Q10’s launch has been much more successful than the Z10 launch, which is consistent with our view that the die-hard BlackBerry installed base of 76 million loyal to the keyboard presents a strong upgrade opportunity” said Um.

The reports confirm that some people still love and want a solid keyboard that they can operate with one hand.

In fact, the release date of the BlackBerry Q10 on AT&T should be soon. Demo units are arriving at AT&T stores. AT&T employees are receiving models for personal use.  The release date may be 6/21 because AT&T usually releases products on Fridays.
