Old BB7 devices still being sold.
In my view the BB displays littered as they are with all of these Curves and lesser models does little to enhance BB's marketing. Now it may be OK to sell the 9900 and the Torch ( for price and the slider) but everything else should be banished. ( talking about NA market )

I think the Curves and OS7 arguably have been what has helped keep Blackberry afloat while they developed BB10. Not everyone wants a contract or wants to lay out hundreds of dollars for a 9900, so I don't think they are going to ditch them, especially until an entry level BB10 is released.

dont count on it.
the day of reckoning will more likely be when bb10 catches up to the legacy certain departments.

I am glad that folks stay with the Brand new or old but BB should be taking back the old stock and shipping it to a market where it will sell .
But the TCO is much lower, do you think many parents plan to swop out cheapo payg curves for 459 Z10s? I bought both my nieces curves, I am not spending 900 replacing them.
