BlackBerry 10 coming soon to Koodo, Mobilicity and WIND Mobile
It is now easier to list the Canadian carriers not planning to launch BlackBerry 10 devices than the ones who are.

Bell starts taking BlackBerry 10 pre-registrations
Bell today began allowing customers to pre-register for updates about the upcoming BlackBerry 10 launch. Both business and personal users (or those using both) are welcome to sign up.
