BlackBerry PRIV is already available for purchase in the United States, but only one carrier offers the smartphone at the moment, AT&T.

Although the Canadian company confirmed its first Android smartphone would be launched at other US-based carriers such as Verizon, no details on timeframe have been shared yet.

Verizon's version of PRIV has been recently spotted at FCC (Federal Communications Commission), which suggests it won't be long until the smartphone arrives at the Big Red.

Today, the folks over at PhoneArena have been tipped on T-Mobile's variant, which is expected to debut in later January.

According to T-Mobile's launch roadmap for January 2016, BlackBerry PRIV will be launched at the Magenta carrier on the 26th.

Even though T-Mobile announced a few months ago it would try to add the BlackBerry PRIV to its portfolio of Android smartphones, no information has been provided on the matter since then.

If the leaked document proves to be accurate and T-Mobile doesn't push back the launch of the PRIV, customers in the United States could potentially purchase BlackBerry's slider at three major carriers: AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon.

ZTE Avid Plus and Alcatel OneTouch Fierce XL should be unveiled too

In the same piece of news, the same document leaked online mentions another Android smartphone that will be launched at T-Mobile next month.

The ZTE Avid Plus will make its debut at T-Mobile on January 20, but we have no information about the phone's specs sheet. Some price changes are mentioned for the same date.

Apparently, these are the only new smartphones that T-Mobile plans to launch in January though we expect the Magenta carrier to introduce its first Windows 10 smartphone as well, the Alcatel OneTouch Fierce XL.
