BlackBerry Q10 available for pre-order on AT&T tomorrow, $200 on contract

Got a taste for a physical keyboard, but you're currently on AT&T without any QWERTY-laden LTE options? That's about to change. The BlackBerry Q10 has already been announced for the GSM network, but now we've been informed that pre-orders will officially begin tomorrow and you can get one of your own for $200 with a two-year commitment. Not exactly the price we were hoping for, but it appears that you're paying a little extra for the nostalgia of tactile keyboards. We also don't have any word on exactly when we can expect to see the device hit retail or virtual shelves. Official statement from AT&T below.

"AT&T was the first carrier to launch BlackBerry smartphones and services in the U.S. and was the first in the U.S. to launch the BlackBerry Z10 smartphone. Building on our strong BlackBerry heritage, we are excited to announce that beginning June 5 customers can pre-order the BlackBerry Q10 smartphone for $199.99*," said Jeff Bradley, senior vice president-Devices, AT&T. "The BlackBerry Q10 extends the new BlackBerry 10 experience to customers with the physical keyboard they love and the secure platform they expect, all on the nation's fastest 4G LTE network."
