We already know Research In Motion plans to launch its new BlackBerry 10 operating system on January 30, 2013. The first smartphones powered by BB10 will be unveiled on the same date.

However, it’s still unclear exactly when these new handsets will make it to shelves. So far, Canadian carrier Rogers is among the few operators that confirmed it will sell BlackBerry 10 devices next year.

In fact, Rogers already opened up reservations for BlackBerry 10 devices, so those who want to be among the first to receive RIM’s upcoming smartphones can reserve theirs for a $40/€30 fee.

In Europe, O2 UK has just announced it will carry RIM’s BlackBerry 10 devices starting early 2013. No word on an exact release date, but the carrier promised more details would be available soon.
