Canadian BlackBerry users who were hoping to get their hands on the latest version of the keyboard smartphone may have to wait a couple more days, if they live outside of Toronto.
The company (TSX:BB) says the release of the BlackBerry Q10 will begin first in the Greater Toronto Area on Wednesday, before it expands to the rest of Canada later in the week.
Chief operating officer Kristian Tear told The Canadian Press that demand in the country's biggest city has been "very strong" and the company wants to ensure that it has enough phones to supply the market.

BLACKBERRY is investigating opportunities to support local mobile software application (app) developers in Africa, in a bid to attract more customers and claw back market share, the phone maker said on Wednesday.
In January, BlackBerry began its comeback bid in the smartphone market with the launch of a new operating system, BlackBerry 10 (BB10), and new smartphones including the BlackBerry Z10.
It launched with 70,000 products in its apps store, and the number has since grown to 100,000.
The company has opened app developer laboratories in Cape Town and Pretoria in the past year to help grow the country’s mobile app developers market.
