Every single time someone reports a sell out of BB10 stock some doom mongering grumpy old git says..
- No...
They pretty much announced that they want to sell the company.
Ask anybody with a business background, and they'll tell you that "strategic alternatives" is the polite, business jargon for "For sale!".
That's why all the news articles have been focused on a sale. No smoke without a fire, and so on.
As for the OP initial point that sales might be good, if some stores are sold out: that's very doubtful.
We know that production of the Z10 has been slashed first in half, and then a couple of months later, another (smaller) cut.
So there aren't that many handsets to begin with, and combined with the lowered expectations for Z10/Q10 sales, that would mean that quite a few carrier stores only have an inventory of a handful of units. That leads to a situation where a couple of unexpected sales, will lead to the phone being "sold out" in some stores.
But it doesn't say anything about the overall sales, that we know aren't as good as expected.
Also keep in mind that some carriers are looking to EOL the Z10 soon. I believe it was Verizon that even deleted any mentioning of it, on its website?

- Are you being sarcastic? Because that's exactly the situation that would be caused by retailers not buying large quantities at once...09-21-13 01:04 PMLike 0

Therefore no one wanted to stock it.
Leaving BlackBerry with almost $1bn in unsold inventory that wasn't shipped to stores that weren't selling it.
Why is that so hard to comprehend?
It's tragic for the people, but don't keep trying to turn chicken sh** into chicken salad.09-21-13 03:24 PMLike 3 -
Not only has BlackBerry received a shedload of bad press recently but the poor punters have been given no reason to buy it by the company itself.
All I can say is everyone, without exception, who I know who has given the Z10 a go absolutely loves it.
Which, I suggest, says everything about how good the phone is and, conversely how bad the marketing message has been...

- It's not surprising though, is it?

And by the way, please change your display picture. Malcolm Tucker would give you the bollocking of a lifetime if he saw the sad spin job you attempted after the recent batch of BBRY news pulled the rug out from under you.chr1sny likes this.09-25-13 08:47 PMLike 1
