    Verizon has the most expensive data plans...BlackBerry basically killed white phone in US by keeping it exclusive with Verizon...
    White phone is usually more fashionable color than usual black work color.. By keeping it exclusive to Verizon I think BlackBerry killed it for most non business users...Business users at Verizon anyways went with black..i hope next model is not exclusive....

    Sorry. But I hardly think that people would not get a Z10 if they couldn't have white..............
    I mean isn't that a petty reason for passing up on a phone you want? Because of the COLOR?
    Seems silly to me to say that was a bad move.

    Sure most people don't avoid because of color but it does effect some sales and more importantly coolness factor of the phone.

    While I personally feel awesome knowing that I own an exclusive version of the Z10, BlackBerry is not in any position to have carrier exclusivity. They need to sell as many phones as they can. With a white Z10 only available on Verizon, it will cost BlackBerry sales.

    You can buy it unlocked and activate it with T-mobile and At&t (BlackBerry Z10 (Unlocked) White)

    While it is true that you can buy an unlocked one from Canada or wherever and activate it on AT&T or T-Mobile, most consumers don't know that. They walk into the store or look online to see what their carrier has to offer. For people like us who know that, it's helpful. But in reality, it's still a lost sale for BlackBerry.

    Not many. The first two that I got were unlocked white ones from Canada. When I had to get US ones though, I got black ones. The color doesn't make a difference to me one way or the other.

    Honestly, it idoesn't make sense to pay full price for an unlocked phone until carriers do away with subsidized phones altogether. Case in point.... I spent $199 for my Q10 through AT&T and my plan is $X price per month. If I would have bought an unlocked white one from a Canadian carrier, I would have spent $600+ and still had to pay $X price per month for my plan. The only benefit is that I wouldn't be locked into a two year contract.... but even if I pay the early termination fee after 6 months, I still come out ahead versus buying the phone outright.

    UGHHHHH.........I truly hate that the white version was only available on Verizon. I definitely would have picked that up over the black version I have if it was available. I don't think it really cost sales though. If someone really wanted a Z10 I'm sure they still picked one up. I did lol
