Why such a ridiculously short USB cord with Z30?

Good to know, thanks!

Posted from my Z30.

Mine is about 2 feet but still on the short side IMHO...

Mine is 3 feet, not sure why they would have so many different sizes. My device was purchased from BlackBerry directly.

Mine is about 3'. Came with my Q10, but I still find it to be a bit short sometimes.

this isnt about the q10. My z10 had a longer cord too. Its just the z30 that has the tiny cord, yet comes with a more powerful charger.

I think a 5 foot one would be awesome.

Hmm...I wish they would have bundled at least a 1A charger instead, given the capacity of this battery. Thanks for replying.

I realise, but the conversation has been about cord lengths in general, despite the title. How long is the cord actually?

I have USB cables everywhere, car truck house office. The little cable is ridiculous but I carry my little USB cable in my backpack everywhere I go. Worth its' weight in gold! It has bailed me and my friends out many times

That picture genuinely made me laugh out loud. Good thing is Blackberry uses a USB port common to its competitors. I'm planning on working out a deal with Rogers this weekend to land a Z30. Does anyone who got on through an online order (not reserved) or through phone know how long it generally takes to be received?

Seriously! Good luck with Rogers.. I had a terrible time trying to get one on an outright purchase. Anyway I'm sure by now you can go in a store and have them do up an order for you which may help to speed things along. My guess.

5-8 days. I just ordered it and this is what they told me.

Okay, was hoping to get it sooner but if I've waited this long then another week I guess I'll live with.

That's too bad. I've heard that other carriers are giving the same issue. I'll be getting it on contract so hopefully no problems. I'm hoping retention hooks me up or I'll be headed to Bell or Telus.

they threw in that short cord so you could gripe about it and then spend an obscene amount of money on a longer cord.. from Blackberry, of course. Thanks, Blackberry, you're surely looking out for your customers.

It's not the same my Z10 is 750 mA and my Z30 is 850mA personally I would cracking open the new one, oh and physically the Z30 charger I have is about 2.5 times the size of the Z10/standard BlackBerry charger

Maybe take a look to make sure

So did my Q10. This must've been something they changed after they first released the Z10.

That picture is not the one that came with the Z30. That is a different one.

Please folks the cord should only be 2' long.
Why would you need more then that?

2' is not enough. Perhaps I actually want to use my phone when it's plugged in?
