Starting today, mobile phone users in the UK can purchase the BlackBerry Q10 smartphone on the network of wireless carrier Three.

The handset was launched with a price tag of £49 ($75 / 58 Euro) attached to it, on monthly plans starting at £35 on the carrier’s Ultimate Internet 500 offering, or at £37 on The One Plan.

BlackBerry Q10 was the second smartphone to arrive on shelves with the BlackBerry 10 platform loaded on top, while being the first such device to sport both a touchscreen and a QWERTY keyboard.

The smartphone features a 3.1-inch screen, a 1.5 GHz dual-core processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal memory, microSD memory card slot, an 8-megapixel photo snapper on the back, and a front camera for making video calls. It also offers support for 4G LTE connectivity.
