Maybe.

Sales quotas can be a problem when you miss them.....

Verizon did a pretty good job at launch that I could see. The Z10 was all over their home page for at least a month. And the corporate store did have a display and the Z10 was out front and center. Now most of the authorized resellers (look just like a Verizon Store) did not do much with the Z10 that I saw - the store at the Mall didn't have it available then or now.

Haven't been checking as much with the Q10, but it doesn't seem that it was given as much attention. Maybe because it is design more toward the business user and not towards an average consumer.

But the fact is the BB10 devices aren't selling well anywhere... other than maybe Canada. Haven't seen any sales numbers or breakout by country, but no one (professional) has been saying that the low sales are only in the USA. Everyone seems to be saying that all those reports of low sales (even before it came out in the US) were true.

So stop blaming BlackBerry's problems on US Carriers or US Consumers, and look at the Company that took three years of planning and building to prepare for the launch of their new platform.... and this was the "best" they could come up with?

People, no matter where they are are deciding if they did a good job, and it seems as if it is a consensus.

From personal experience AT&T and best buy did a poor job or marketing the Z10 when it first came out. My local store didn't even have a demo unit available for at least 6 weeks.
