    PSA: BlackBerry Q10 on sale in Canada, but only in Toronto (update: other cities too)

    BlackBerry Q10

    Today marks one of the symbolically more important launches in the BlackBerry universe: the Q10, the first keyboard-equipped BB10 phone, is at last available on the company's Canadian home turf. As promised, customers with Bell, Rogers and Telus (as well as their Virgin Mobile, Fido and Koodo sub-brands) can snap up what's arguably the true Waterloo flagship for about $199 on a 3-year contract, or between $625 to $700 contract-free. Shoppers are largely buying the same phone no matter the carrier, although Rogers is hoping to lure the undecided with both LTE on an extra frequency as well as access to the white model. Just be prepared for a slightly longer wait if you plan to buy one in person -- BlackBerry warns that it's limiting Q10 supply to the Greater Toronto Area for the first day or two to accommodate demand high demand in Canada's financial capital.

    Update: Although BlackBerry was emphasizing Toronto, readers in other cities have mentioned getting early access. We'd still call ahead if you're set on grabbing a Q10 at retail, however.

    CSN: RGIII doesn't regret playing with injury

    Robert Griffin III doesn?t think it was a mistake to continue playing against the Seahawks in the Redskins? first-round playoff game last January.

    But if the same circumstances present themselves again in the future he would take himself out of the game.

    That odd a somewhat contradictory viewpoint came from an excerpt from an ESPN The Magazine article that is coming out this week. Griffin is on the cover and author J.R. Moehringer wrote the 5,000-word cover story. Dan Steinberg at the Bog got the story and posted an excerpt pertaining to the decision to keep playing in that playoff game despite being visibly hampered after the tweaked his right knee during the first quarter.

    The call to let him keep playing has led to heavy criticism of coach Mike Shanahan and the Redskins medical staff. He left the field with a knee that would need reconstructive surgery a few days later and the injury has his ability to play the entire season in question.

    Moehringer asks him about the decision.

    What about the Seahawks game? ?I don?t feel like playing against the Seahawks was a mistake. But I see the mistake IN IT.?

    Come again?

    ?With what happened and how everything was running ? you take me out. If that happened again next year, I?d come out of the game and sit until I was 100% healthy.?

    So it appears that while Griffin is reluctant to say that he made a mistake, he would not do the same thing if the same scenario presented itself. And that, ultimately, is what matters.

    Griffin also talked about the injury that was the nexus of the problems in the Seattle game, a hit downfield by Ravens nose tackle Haloti Ngata late in a Week 14 game at FedEx Field. Griffin tried to continue in the game but yielded to Kirk Cousins after a few plays. That forced him to miss the next game and put him in a heavy knee brace for the rest of the season. Griffin said that the warrior instinct in him came out, making him want to continue.

    He acknowledges that he needs to work on moderating that instinct. ?If I had another incident like the Ngata hit, I?m out of the game. You pull yourself out at that point. You learn from your mistakes.?

    That last line is key. Whether or not he wants to call something a mistake is irrelevant as long as he does the smart thing in the future. We will have to take him at his word that he will be more cautious in the future.
