I drove into Westwood, near UCLA, this morning where there is an ATT, Verizon, Radio Shack, and an independent wireless shop that sells all the various company phones and plans on a search for a live Q10 I can hold in my hand and check out. In each of the 4 different shops I was told "Oh, Blackberry is going out of business and soon you won't even be able to get one...."
That's funny. I live down here, and am in Westwood a lot. The T-Mobile store right there used to have a great display of the 8800, 8100, 8700, and whatever else was out at the time. What a difference a few years makes.
I was in a Verizon store yesterday in Torrance, just down the 405 freeway, to get a Z30 case for the Z30 I ordered from Shop BlackBerry. There were NO Z30s on display, the sales rep said they were all in the back. She checked for accessories for it, and they had none. Really sad state to see BlackBerry in. I'm sure had I asked to see a Z30, they would have let me. Try asking for one from the back if you want to see one. Get what you can out of the carriers. They're all pretty terrible.
