Verizon BlackBerry Z10 and Q10 launch in March

Verizon has announced today it will carry both the BlackBerry Z10 and Q10. Z10 will be $199.99 with a two year contract. March seems like a long time to wait for this product to launch on carriers in the U.S.. I know some time ago it was announced that it would be launched in the UK and other places first before coming to the USA. But I feel this is a big mistake.

And from what I’ve read about the other carriers, they haven’t announced pricing yet. The Canadian carriers are selling it for $149 Canadian dollars, on a THREE year contract.
