Next week, mobile phone carrier Verizon Wireless is expected to make its own flavor of the BlackBerry Z10 smartphone available for purchase in the United States, and it seems that the carrier’s partners are already getting ready for the big launch.

A recent article on N4BB notes that Verizon BlackBerry Z10 dummy units are already arriving at Staples, a sign that the phone will be released through this retailer as well shortly.

At the moment, BlackBerry Z10 is available in the United States only through AT&T, but will land on March 26 at T-Mobile, while set to make it to Verizon’s network on March 28.

Running under the new BlackBerry 10 OS, the smartphone packs a 4.2-inch screen, a dual-core processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal memory, and an 8-megapixel photo snapper on the back.
