AT&T revealed pricing and a pre-order date for the BlackBerry Q10 today in a statement sent around from Jeff Bradley, senior vice president - Devices, AT&T.

"AT&T was the first carrier to launch BlackBerry smartphones and services in the U.S. and was the first in the U.S. to launch the BlackBerry Z10 smartphone. Building on our strong BlackBerry heritage, we are excited to announce that beginning June 5 customers can pre-order the BlackBerry Q10 smartphone for $199.99."

That's $200 with a two-year contract, an asterisked note pointed out. Still no exact availability, but you can rest assured the LTE-equipped handset will come...at some point.
