BlackBerry’s flagship device, the Z10, has been on the market for over a month now but due to the asking price (N100,000 - N130,000), lack of data compression and the *funny* data caps being offered by the major networks, I’m yet to get one. Besides I hear before the year runs out, 3 more devices will be launched (Q10 included) and for all I know, they will feature the same 4.2 inch screen and cost less than the Z10.
Thus I’ve decided to hold off on getting one for now.
In the mean time, for those who are out to get theirs now, here’s a run through of the data plans created by the networks specially for the new BlackBerry 10 devices. For BlackBerry 7 devices and below, the old data plans/subscription codes still apply. Only time will tell, if we all will be forced to make use of the BlackBerry 10 Plans on all devices.
Before we proceed, here are links to the existing blackberry plans for OS 7 devices and below
Etisalat Nigeria BlackBerry Complete, Voice & Social Plans

Airtel Nigeria BlackBerry Complete Plans
Glo BlackBerry Social and Complete Plans
NOTE: Once you exhaust your data cap on BlackBerry 10, all functions that need internet access will stop working minus BlackBerry Messenger which has unlimited access for the duration of your plan. The new BlackBerry 10 internet plans follows:

UPDATE 4th May 2015: Looks like some of you aren't aware but the old blackberry data plans for Globacom Nigeria still work on blackberry 10. The only caveat is that the browsing or download speed is limited to 124 KB/s
