T Mobile Rep says BlackBerry isn't going to be around much longer...
Was in the mall and stopped at the T Mobile kiosk to ask about the new Z10 and when it would be available. The rep working there at the time said later in March, but that long term he didn't think of BlackBerry as a good investment because he didn't think the company would last much longer due to their single digit market share. He was very polite and we had a good conversation about phone in general, with encouragement to consider newer android offerings. I then walked into the BestBuy phone store and spoke with the rep there, who said latest she had heard was March 22, and to check back. I found the contrast interesting because the T Mobile guy described himself as a phone geek, said he had been selling phone for eight years, but didn't seem aware of the positive reception of the Z10 in the market, or the company name change.

Maybe he meant he didn't think t mobile would be around much longer. :)

And RIM/BB isnt going anywhere any time soon, their stock is up quite a bit today on just the simple announcement that AT&T is launching in 11 days.
I don't disagree with you, but the stock is up less than $2 and it was ten times the price a few years ago

who cares about what reps say. we all know as a community RIM is not going away so we should refrain from making these threads. Its obvious that the people who make these claims are ignorant to the tech world. Instead of making threads just educate the poor bastards.

If i go in and ask for a Z10 then give me a Z10, dont say 'Really? Why that?'
Ignorant much?
You know quite a few people on this very site work at cell phone sites? Some may make minimum wage, or better. Just want to know what the difference is from a rep there to the people on this site?
We all are here to help and may have personal opinions, but honestly he has as much right as anyone here. Its up to you to either take it with a grain of salt, or let it ruin your week....
I don't think blackberry will fold anytime soon, but do think it won't sell as well as people had hoped for on here.
Oh chastise me now for my opinion, lol!
