When a person does something bad and the injured party gets angry, the appropriate response for the remorseful person is not to demand anything from the injured party, but to let them get it out of their system, acknowledging that to some extent they had it coming.
Legere acted in a manner inconsistent with sincere remorse which means the likelihood Legere would "reoffend" is pretty high, and I think that's what happened.
You go ahead and dial 611 on your T-mobile phone and tell the customer care rep that you're on BlackBerry and thinking of switching to Android and I bet the rep encourages you to switch: then call back and tell them you want to terminate your BlackBerry service and switch carriers and they'll be all pro-BlackBerry.
Spare me the "this is Chen's fault" nonsense.

- T-Mobile is trying to manipulate things into their favor by pretending to be pro-BlackBerry customers when in reality it wants to make BlackBerry look bad, indirectly. I respect T-Mobile's tactical nature, but as a BlackBerry owner, **** them.

I'll put my money on Legere over Chen any day of the week. Legere has turned the U.S. carrier market on its head.04-05-14 05:40 PMLike 3 - People got angry. T-Mobile apologized and gave special offers to its BlackBerry customers. That is where it should ha e stopped. Chen should have been gracious and accepted the apology and made a statement about building a better partnership. He should have taken the high road.
And the other American carriers are steering customers away from BlackBerry. They didn't do it as out in the open as T-Mobile did. But AT&T stores treat you like you're insane if you are interested in a BlackBerry.
Every carrier here is acting like BlackBerry is dead.
What carrier was actually promoting BlackBerry? Telcel in Mexico.
They had huge BlackBerry balloons and big cardboard stand up cutouts I. It's stores. Big banners in the windows. It was really nice.

and then after T-mobile went out of it's way to announce 94% of Blackberry customers who took advantage of the offer switched to a new OS?
but Chen should have taken the high road.. hmmm... to me, that sounds more like BlackBerry bending over and taking it with no questions asked.. which would probly indicate, or at least show the perception that BB is so desperate that they will work with anyone even if it's not beneficial for both sides... not the best message to send, ya know?
he was simply performing channel management and it will hopefully allow them to focus more and build a stronger relationship with the other carriers...04-05-14 11:27 PMLike 0 -
If you think about it, T-Mobile holding Blackberries and talking smack about it at the same time could never hurt more than T-Mobile not carrying Blackberry and talking smack about it. The former scenario is still possibly one Blackberry sold. The latter scenario is 0 Blackberries sold and, if Blackberry ever became popular, T-Mobile would begin running anti-Blackberry ads ala Droid anti-iPhone commercials.
Impulsive fans are trying to justify a bad Chen decision with faulty doublethink logic. Blackberry "boycotting" T-Mobile will not hurt T-Mobile and is only shooting itself in the foot. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.04-05-14 11:46 PMLike 3 -

This will cost T-mobile a lot of cash. That's a required signal for other carriers.

Neither do I see ANY evidence that BlackBerry "prevented" T-Mobile from selling the Z30. It would be a no-brainer for them to sell that, the device that is compatible with their network is already designed and available. Not like a CDMA carrier such as Verizon or Sprint where the device needs to be uniquely tailored to their network.
That's BS. You chose a low-end carrier that has shown little interest in Blackberry, pulled all BlackBerry merchandise out of retail stores last September and has been actively hostile to the company's sales efforts, and you think it is BlackBerry's fault? LOL
Then Verizon has rewarded the "exclusive" with not stocking them ala Rogers - if you want one you have to get it shipped to you. Just read the Z30 forum most of the recent Verizon Z30's had to be bought this way - myself included there was none within a 50 mile radius of NYC the day I bought mine.
T-mobile isn't alone here.04-06-14 09:27 AMLike 0 -
