- ... and you know why? There are basic laws, on how to make certain thing "luxury", or "exclusive". Very simple and to the point:
- it should have distinctive feature ("touch keyboard")
- it is expensive (you name it)
- IT IS HARD TO BUY. You cannot purchase Vertu online, cannot see Bugatti booth in Auchan.
Look at our case from this angle, and be proud of waiting true luxury toy Like Bugatti.

I think they were very conservative in their production capacity to ensure that they were getting the lowest cost pet device by having the highest utilization rate they could achieve10-09-14 01:49 PMLike 0
- I'd only want a Veyron for the purposes of selling it lol. I'd much rather sell it for $1,000,000 then buy a high end BMW for $100,000, and have $900,000 in the bank.

But IF it is, Blackberry absolutely needs to send something out to all of its [potential] customers that are waiting for BB to get its sh1t and stock straight to let us know WTF is going on and why it is such as mess.10-09-14 01:54 PMLike 0
- Just a shortage in supply since the demand is so high even the Used Items are in back order til Oct 17th from Amazon-Blackberry Passport Used ..10-09-14 02:00 PMLike 0
- This is similar to an empty nightclub making people wait outside to manufacture the false impression of onlookers that the club is popular, crowded or happening on the inside. The difference is when people pay to get into the club, they will be allowed in. Blackberry is just taking our money and not fulfilling its half of the transaction (actually providing the item we are paying for) = fraud.Bold_until_Hybrid_Comes likes this.10-09-14 02:59 PMLike 1
- There is the beautiful term "reasonable amount of time" and this can be anything for the court to decide.....
So fraud? No.

The tone of this thread suggests that BlackBerry is artificially manipulating supply, and there's absolutely NOTHING to indicate this. The Z10 and Q10 were heavily over-produced and cost the company billions of dollars, so it's understandable that they would be cautious with this innovative but controversial device.
Orders are being filled and the Passport is available in a great many markets. If you have an order pending, I suggest you check your local laws regarding credit card orders and take whatever action you feel you need to.10-09-14 03:15 PMLike 9 - ... and you know why?

Suckers!
Posted via CB1010-09-14 04:50 PMLike 4 - It is expensive? I think you have delusions!
Q10 cost me at launch 580 pounds in UK.
Passport cost me 440 pounds!
Please stop this bull**** about price.
Posted via CB1010-09-14 05:29 PMLike 4 - That is more likely the case than the opposite. Amazon, DR, and Blackberry passport purchasers are all contacting and requesting ANY info from Blackberry on when or WHETHER Blackberry will continue to produce the device. It has said ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Ill repeat: Blackberry refuses to respond and confirm that it will continue to stock and ship the passport to DR, Amazon, and people paying and attempting to be its customers. Doesn't make a lot of sense huh? Your accusation of Chen getting the payments diverted actually makes more sense.10-09-14 05:42 PMLike 0

I cannot believe that someone would write that.
When you cannot be asked to answer the same question with fucdkn knows, then you say: I got no info...
Look through my post history to see why they have no idea when it will ship.
They never expected that much demand and the system broke. It is available in netherlands, India and other places.
First come first served globally is a big thing.... just because you are waiting is no excuse to let the other partners wait.
Just chill and relax. If you don't have your passport by the end of the month, all 200000 can start a class action law suit against DR.
We like BlackBerry and hate DR.... that's why DR...

In most countries a vendor has to provide the purchased goods in a certain number of days, and if they can't they have to refund the purchase. Period.

Posted via Passport OS 10.3.0.73810-09-14 06:05 PMLike 0 - I'm not sure if the bitter disgruntled under tone of some of the posters on here complaining they can't get a Passport is a good thing or a bad thing...
A small part of me thinks that if their purchasing experience is so bad they'll go elsewhere... But really, when I see comments like jgill072's I'd like to believe two things. First, they want it so bad that the waiting is just making them want it more and they're thus becoming a little melodramatic. Secondly, that demand has truly outstripped supply and BlackBerry is now having trouble adjusting. Either way, I'm taking these comments as a good thing.
Just a little disclaimer, I have paid $2500 straight up for an item with no ETA that showed up 3 months late... It's a beautiful elegant piece of machinery that I wouldn't have if I didn't have a lot a patience and understanding.10-09-14 06:07 PMLike 3
