Canadian users interested in the purchase of a BlackBerry Z10 smartphone have now at their disposal more options when it comes to choosing a network on which to buy the device.

The smartphone was made official back in January and landed on shelves in Canada in early February via major carriers, and is now available for purchase through Eastlink, Mobilicity and Videotron as well.

At the moment, the mobile phone can be seen listed on Eastlink’s website with a price tag of $99 attached to it on the carrier’s easyTab plan, while available at $649 contract free.

Furthermore, users interested in purchasing the BlackBerry Z10 through Mobilicity will have to pay $599.99 for the device, as MobileSyrup notes.

Additionally, the handset is available through Videotron at $99.95 on contract, and for purchase at $599.95 outright.

BlackBerry Z10 is the first smartphone to have landed on shelves with the new BlackBerry 10 operating system loaded on top, though it will soon be accompanied by another similar handset from BlackBerry, namely the QWERTY-enabled Q10.

Z10 was made official with a 4.2-inch touchscreen display that can deliver a 1280 x 768 pixel resolution, a 1.5GHz dual-core processor inside, 2GB of RAM, and 16GB of internal memory.

The mobile phone was also packed with a microSD memory card slot for adding more storage, WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC and 4G LTE connectivity capabilities, and the usual set of sensors.

Moreover, the smartphone features an 8-megapixel photo snapper on the back, with support for full HD video recording, while packing a front camera as well, so as to enable users to make video calls while on the go.

The BlackBerry 10 OS loaded on this device can deliver an appealing new experience to users, courtesy of features such as BlackBerry Hub, a new soft keyboard, BBM with Voice and Video, and the like.
