Starting today, AT&T’s customers can purchase the BlackBerry Q10 smartphone on their wireless carrier’s network, for no less than $199 (€150) with the signing of a two-year contract agreement.

The first BlackBerry 10 smartphone in the world to arrive on shelves with a QWERTY keyboard in addition to a touchscreen display can be acquired contract-free as well, for $585 (€445).

Users interested in the purchase of a BlackBerry Q10 can find the device listed on this page on the wireless carrier’s website. They will also find it available in AT&T’s brick and mortar stores.

Packing a 1.5GHz dual-core processor inside and 2GB of RAM, the handset can deliver increased performance capabilities to its users.

Furthermore, BlackBerry Q10 offers 16GB of internal memory, along with a microSD memory card slot with support for up to 32GB of additional storage space.

The aforementioned Super AMOLED touchscreen display measures 3.1 inches diagonally, and can deliver a 720x720 pixels resolution, at 330ppi.

The specifications list of the new mobile phone also includes support for AT&T’s 4G LTE network, along with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, and a 2100mAh (removable) battery that can offer up to 13 hours of talk time.

On the back, the BlackBerry Q10 smartphone packs an 8-megapixel photo snapper with support for full HD video recording, complemented by a front camera for making video calls.

On top of all these, there’s the BlackBerry 10 OS with all the features and capabilities that it has to offer, such as BlackBerry Hub, Flow, Balance, Remember, Calendar, and more.

With BlackBerry Hub, “peek at all your messages in one place from any app. Simply swipe left-to-right from the home screen for a quick peek or swipe up and right from within an app to get back to the Hub. You can reply or snap back to what you were doing without skipping a beat,” AT&T notes.
