- Probably also need to send a strong message to Chen (maybe Michaluk needs to do this) regarding the asinine behavior at Shop.Blackberry - when people read these anecdotes it should come as no surprise that BBRY is digging themselves an ever deepening hole from which they may not emerge.

- You know I actually got really excited that I got my wish and BlackBerry started selling the Z30 unlocked themselves. I was waiting for that to happen and wanted to upgrade my Z10.
But MAN what a disappointment I feel...actually really mad about this company I rooted for at any given time , defended them with claws and teeth...
I don't care who decided to offer the -5 for using in AT&T network, and nobody there can be that inept and stupid not know that model's capabilities.
I am mad because because they think I am the inept and stupid one not know the truth, and just trying to get rid of the crap that didn't sell.
How dare you!!! BlackBerry, you REALLY pi$$ed me off now! And not just me...
That move is beyond ridiculous, and I am sorry about all the people that will buy it to run on AT&T and get no LTE, but should and don't know why. That is BORDERING on false advertising, although it isn't.
I know it doesn't promise LTE anywhere in the ad, but people EXPECT that nowadays.
This is a flagship phone and GOT TO have LTE network!

- Yes. It's the exact model Rogers sells.
03-22-14 01:22 PMLike 0 - So if the Z30 comes and I cannot refuse the package, I will have to once again turn to eBay and try to break even.
Maybe I can make a profit and charge $575 for it new, unopened, and with my autograph in a separate envelope, since you know, I'm the Kevin Kevin Kevin beat box guy.
(100% joking )

I "may" have been tempted to upgrade my Z10 at �300 but for �500 they can shove it where the sun doesn't shine

- sleepngbearRetired ModeratorI'm gonna keep my Z30 when it gets here and give it a go, especially since the rumors are increasing that the STA100-1 may not ever see the light of day, but also because other members here who have the STA100-5 and only get 4G are saying that it's still pretty quick. They can call it whatever they want -- 4G, HSPA+, LTE, or ham and split pea soup; as long as wireless browsing is at least as good as on the Z10, I'll be happy.
That being said -- I am deeply disappointed in BlackBerry. Not for me, but for other members here who will not be satisfied with this purchase, and even more so for other less-informed BB loyalists who may have jumped on this offer thinking they're going to get something they may not -- particularly at&t users who have been waiting for the Z30 to come available (assuming there even are such users out there that are not part of this community). Fantastic move to start selling these things unlocked direct from BB, without question (although they absolutely need to find a better online partner than Digital River). But doing so by kicking it off with such misleading advertising, at a time when BB needs to change this image of consumer marketing incompetence, is not a good way to go about turning around a business that's hurting like BBRY is. I know this company has made blunders in the past. But I'm kinda shocked that it's still making them like this now. Shocked, saddened, confused, and even more concerned about its future if this is the best it can do.
I've been a very vocal proponent of Chen all along. But if he's serious about bringing this company back to relevance, heads need to roll for this fiasco.

Got an email saying that it was cancelled (hopefully) and now I wait and see if I will be charged or if it will be cancelled. If it is charged hopefully I can dispute it through my credit card company.
Never going to buy directly from BlackBerry again.

Actually, it kinda does. As I pointed out in this thread, the press release is worded to read as LTE on TMO and AT&T. Plus there's no fine print saying things like "AT&T LTE wherever available on band 4 or band 5 networks." Hell, it doesn't even say "LTE not available everywhere," which would technically be on the carrier, but a good CYA in this era.
And therefore it is false advertising!
A person that buys this phone to use it on AT&T LTE was NOT warned, but fooled and mislead to believe it will work on LTE in their area. If it turns out it doesn't, then the person got lied to by BlackBerry.
And they ripped the person out of $500.
That is illegal..

Exactly. In absence of LTE "fine print" in the press release and the model# being posted right away on SBB, the reasonable conclusion would have been a STA100-1.03-23-14 10:32 AMLike 0 - I have been watching this thread from the beginning and I have to say I support BlackBerry on this one. You guys are bitxxxching because the -5 isn't fully compatible with AT&T LTE but if u took the time to search and research your 500.00 purchase you would. Already know that. This forum is littered with info and posts that state exactly that fact.
Forum readers pleaded for a way to get a z30 in the US without involving Verizon and BlackBerry gave it to you.
Forum readers wanted to get it at a lower price and BlackBerry gave it to you.
Now u complain that it isn't completely compatible with every at&t LTE network when at&t didn't pick up the phone.
Grow up. Either buy the phone if you want it, or shut the F up and stop complaining. Life is choices, make yours and quit whining. I am on at&t in the US. I want BlackBerry to survive and make a comeback. I will be buying this -5 phone.

BlackBerry doesn't know every LTE band in every market. Some may and some may not get LTE on AT&T. That hasn't changed since u posted the band chart in what october?
