The BlackBerry Z10 is now available for preorder from T-Mobile, as long as you're a business customer.

"The BlackBerry Z10 will be available for pre-order for business customers starting on March 11 for $249.99 on a two-year Classic plan. Please note that pricing can be impacted by volume discounts and other factors, making the device even more cost effective. The consumer retail availability date and pricing will be shared at a later date," said T-Mobile in a statement.

While there's been no official word yet on when regular customers can get their hands on the phone from T-Mobile, all signs point to a launch before the end of the month, a date made even more likely by AT&T's announcement that they will offer the Z10 to the public on Mar. 22.

The two companies have been vying to be the first to offer the Z10 in the United States, and now it looks like they might share the title.

Sprint has already announced it will not carry the Z10 at all, opting to hold out for the QWERTY keyboard-enabled Q10, due out in the next few months. T-Mobile will not carry the Q10.

Verizon has committed to both phones, but it will not be able to produce a version of the Z10 until probably next month, with the Q10 due for a stateside release at an even later date.

The BlackBerry Z10 features a 1.5 GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 plus processor, 2 GB of RAM, a 4.2-inch 1280x768 display, an 8 megapixel camera with 1080p HD video, 16 GB of internal storage and runs the newly revamped BlackBerry 10 operating system.
