    On the blackberry roadmap that was leaked I remember it saying that the Z10, Q10, Q5, and Z30 will stop being produce and they will just be selling out what stock they have left. It make sense that the Q10 and Z10 are still listed on Verizon website, as Blackberry over produce those phones. It seems like with Z30 they did not make that mistake and thus the lack of supply. With it not being on the Verizon website for at least 2 days and being on back order for weeks proceeding it (even on the verizon business website), this leads to me to believe either Blackberry is working to supply Verizon with another batch of Z30s or either with the passport so close to being release that they are not even going to produce any more Z30s for Verizon in favor of the Verizon passport.

    They have told us that many times.

    It's a BlackBerry Z30 on Big Red
    I've talked to multiple Verizon representatives and none of them have said that.

    If Verizon has designated the Z30 has EOL, it should show up as EOL in the company's computer systems. Yet that's not the case.

    Others may have heard differently. In a big corporation it's definitely possible for people to be given conflicting information. However, it's been the same story for me every time I've called.

    I'm also going to be a new customer. Mine are being send from a store in Michigan, not the corporate warehouse.
    Interesting. Did Verizon locate those Z30s for you, or did you do the sleuthing yourself?

    Well today's story from CS is that they are out of stock in the system and so an order for an upgrade cannot be placed. However no indication of it being discontinued as the fellow yesterday said he saw. Suggested that I try a store. Oy. Suppose I'll have to but I'm not pleased with that prospect.

    That's exactly what representatives have been telling me.

    It's definitely possible that Verizon won't be restocking the Z30 in their warehouses. However, the Z30 can't be EOL yet - Verizon just pushed a software update for it.

    I just got an email from Verizon saying this.

    This makes no sense. It's their highest-reviewed model and hasn't been on the market for a year yet. Perhaps they exhausted their central stock and just aren't interested in ordering more. Of course, they haven't said what their plans are in regard to the Passport and Classic.

    After the sluggish sales of the Z10 and Q10 I'm sure BlackBerry made way less of the Z30, especially the cdma version. Sales picked up recently and now they don't have enough for any more new sales.

    I bought 2 like new Verizon Z30's a couple of month's ago from two different sellers. They were indeed like new with the box and everything. Some sellers on ebay are pretty good. But as always, use caution.

    I bought my replacement on ebay after the screen on mine didn't survive being thrown off my nightstand during a recent earthquake.

    I paid $350 and have had no issues. It is just as good as the one I bought directly from Verizon.

    I bet Verizon still has some Z30s, but they are set aside for replacement only. If Verizon has pass the point where even all their replacement z30s are gone, then they will more than likely offer you a non-blackberry device as a replacement (if the passport is not out).

    What did you do with the broken Z30? I sent you a PM.

    Upsetting news, I was just getting ready to order a Z30 from big red. It is hard to believe that the only full touch device available is the Z10 when the competition is offering big screen devices. Furthermore, Apple's full touch, big screen iPhone announcement is just around the corner. The timing is not good with this one. I understand where every device has EOL, but a new device should be available or at least announced before pulling the rug out from under the Z30. Not good business practice, unless this is an indication that BlackBerry will not be offering any full touch devices in the future. I myself am a full touch guy. I like the real estate of full touch and can't stand going backwards to physical keyboards.

    Just chatted with a Verizon rep today and they stated that the device is listed as being "retired".

    Yes it is, but I can understand trying to get their inventory down before the launch of a new device.
