Although there is no official word as to when the device will be hitting the shelves in the US, reports suggest that it could launch on the T-Mobile network in May. However, if a new survey conducted by investment firm MKM Partners is anything to go by, BlackBerry is going to have to pull out all the stops to attract consumers.

Canada will be the first territory where the Q10 will officially launch. UK consumers are also already able to pre-order the device but it is not expected to hit the market (BlackBerry's biggest after its native Canada) until May.
