The BlackBerry Z10 smartphone is now officially available on AT&T

The struggling manufacturer — which is hopeful its new flagship device will ignite a company resurgence — announced on Friday the Z10 can finally be activated on AT&T. It costs $199 with a two-year contract.

BlackBerry, formerly known as Research In Motion (RIM), also sent a tweet at midnight ET announcing Best Buy will start selling the device on Friday for $199 with a two-year contract.

BlackBerry initially said the device will debut in late March. It's rumored to also come to T-Mobile in the following weeks and then to Verizon Wireless in April. Sprint will not carry the Z10, but it will offer BlackBerry's Q10 (a BlackBerry 10 device with a QWERTY keyboard) sometime this year.

BlackBerry Z10 features a 4.2-inch display (1280 x 768 resolution), Dell Vostro 1520 Extended Life Battery, an 8-megapixel camera and a dual-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 processor.
