A new report suggests that
AT&T (
T) will be the first U.S. carrier to offer
BlackBerry’s (
BBRY) new flagship smartphone later this month.
According to N4BB, the
BlackBerry Z10 will be available on AT&T beginning March 15th. The company was reportedly interested in being the first major carrier to offer the device in the U.S. and is said to have moved up its plans to launch the smartphone, which was previously
rumored to be released in late March. BlackBerry and AT&T are expected to face difficulties, however, as Samsung (
005930) is scheduled to announce
its highly anticipated Galaxy S IV smartphone on March 14th. BGR
recently reviewed the BlackBerry Z10 and while we found it to be a capable device, it fell short of other high-end smartphones offered by Apple (
AAPL), Samsung and HTC (
2498).
