No consistency in trying to buy a Z30 outright..
This episode started last Sunday when I met. BlackBerry rep at a local Best Buy store. I enquired about purchasing a Z30 from Best Buy at that time but was told that it's against their policy which was quite understandable. However, the rep told me that he would be present in Telus at Fairview on the 25th October from 5:30 pm.. and that he will assist me in getting one at that time. Today I went to the store all happy and bubbly knowing that it was a done deal. Here am I a die hard crusader for BlackBerry going to meet a BlackBerry rep where we will try and drum up some support for our favorite brand. Well it didn't go as planned to say the least. First off the BlackBerry asked me if I still wanted to buy outright or go on a plan with Telus. I spoke to Telus sales rep and it was decided that it was best for me to purchase outright.. then came the manager in the picture.. "sir it's against our policy to sell phones outright " I asked why so you have a price listed for no term sales then? All I got after that was shoulder shrugs.. all this with the BlackBerry rep keeping himself busy with a "cute " salesperson...
