TORONTO (Reuters) – BlackBerry’s new Q10 smartphone, which comes with the physical keyboard that many BlackBerry fans prize, is selling well in both Canada and Britain, an industry analyst said on Friday.
The company introduced the Q10, its second smartphone to run the new BlackBerry 10 operating system, in Canada and Britain this week.
“Our checks indicate broad sellouts with generally limited stock otherwise,” Jefferies analyst Peter Misek said in a note to clients on Friday. “Based on our store checks, the BlackBerry Q10 has been selling extremely well and has been sold out or seeing limited availability in Toronto and across the U.K.”
Jefferies, which has a “buy” rating on shares of BlackBerry, said its findings were based on checks with top mobile carriers and retailers in both countries, including Bell, Rogers and Telus in Canada, and Carphone Warehouse, Vodafone, and Orange in Britain.
