…and we’re back! Back from the BlackBerry 10 Launch events. Back from BlackBerry Jam Europe. Back to answer your questions on the Limited Edition and BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha C programs. Here are answers to the top four questions we’re getting asked on Twitter.

Q. I applied for a BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha C at BlackBerry Jam Europe. When will those devices ship?

BlackBerry Jam Europe attendees will be contacted this week with details about the BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha C device program. The devices will ship to developers that qualify for the program within the next five to seven weeks.

Q. I applied online for a BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha C. When do I find out if I qualified?

The applications are currently being tested and once this is done the points will be calculated and an email to those that qualify will be sent with further instructions for redeeming Dev Alpha C device. This should be done by February 28.

Q. I applied for the BlackBerry 10 Limited Edition device, but haven’t received a confirmation email yet. When will I receive that?

We are currently working through the backlog of registrations. All registrations need to be validated against the terms and conditions and once this is completed you will receive an email with your qualification status. This can take ten business days from when your application is approved for sale in BlackBerry World.

Q. I’ve qualified for the BlackBerry 10 Limited Edition device – when will they ship?

They will begin to ship within the next five to seven weeks.

Hope these answers help – if you have any additional questions, please leave us a comment and we’ll get back to you ASAP!

Many developers have already submitted their requests for the Limited Edition BlackBerry 10 device. We’ve started sending out confirmation emails to those that have qualified for the device.  Due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control we are unable to offer a Limited Edition BlackBerry 10 for developers on the Verizon network.

Some developers have indicated that they are very loyal Verizon customers and would only like the device on their preferred network. So for these developers, we will offer them a choice. In lieu of the Limited Edition BlackBerry 10 device, developers on Verizon can instead:

1. Request a Verizon BlackBerry 10 device to replace their BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha, adhering to the same terms and conditions of the Limited Edition device in order to qualify. This will be a final commercial device and will ship when BlackBerry 10 is commercially available on Verizon.
2. Request a Limited Edition BlackBerry 10 device from an alternate carrier, one which is supported as a part of the Limited Edition program.

For those developers who have already requested their Limited Edition device on Verizon, email communication will follow in the coming days requesting your preferred selection.  For those who have not yet requested their Limited Edition BlackBerry 10 device, but wish to pursue option 1, updated instructions on procedure will be made available as soon as possible.

Please do not hesitate to leave a comment or discuss with your favorite Developer Relations team member should you have any thoughts on the matter or feedback you’d like to share.

Also – if you want to request more information on the BlackBerry Z10 on Verizon – head on over head and register!
