Is RIM planning to add the BB10 L-Series (now Z10, God, I hate this new name) and the N-Series to its BlackBerry Trade-Up Program? If they do so, it would a token of gratitude for their loyal BB users. So, any info or comments about this?

[BaconMunch]

I think the L-Series should have been the X10 and the N-Series should have been the Z10 because X is cooler and for the touch screen people and Z is N tilted, square screen 720x720 pixels. That being said I'd be happy to trade-in my 9900 that still has just under 2 years on contract for a subsidized BB10 device.

The whole Z is N tilted is actually pretty clever.

Nice little find.

I do not believe RIM came out and announced the name of the new BlackBerry 10 full-touch device as "Z10".

[RubberChicken76]

I think the L-Series should have been the X10 and the N-Series should have been the Z10

Neither name is 'confirmed'.

[sydsam]

Yes-yes. They definitely should do this!

They haven't and hopefully it is not the actual name as it seems fairly idiotic to pick one where your major english-speaking markets are going to be pronouncing it differently let alone the rest of the world.

It would be a great idea and way to get max sales on release

My Z phone can beat up your iPhone! What difference does a name make!

It could make a lot difference because if you have a great phone but with a sh*tty name it wouldn't have the respect that it deserves

Respect comes from performance.

Agree. I don't like the name either. I will still be buying one, but will just be calling it Blackberry 10 phone. L-series series shou be "Blackberry Touch" and the N-series should be "Blackberry Type"

It would definitely make sense for them to do so. I'm still using my 9700 so wouldn't get much for it... that, and I think I may just hold onto it as a back up should the new phones have any issues.

[BoldPreza]

I would certainly hope so. I just hope they don't adjust down the prices too far when the new ones launch and they make it easier to do, like they can tie directly to the Carriers and allow us to trade in right in the store and not limit us to one device, I know a few people with more than one BlackBerry laying around that would be eligible. Would definitely help sway them toward BlackBerry again.

[LazyEvul]

I'm rather hoping they do a trade-up promotion of some sort, it would make the upgrade much easier for me considering that I still have a pretty long time left on my contract.

[TrioGM]

So, if RIM decides to have BB10 for a trade-up, how much do you think it'll cost then?

That would all depend on what model your trading in as per how it currently works. As for the cost of the new phones, before trade up values, we'll all have to wait until they are released and the carrier's post their pricing.

Toe mate toe / Toe mot toe, Z ee 10 / Z ed 10, everybody knows what a tomato is, Z10 will follow naturally, if not it will create more buzz, more buzz is always good.
