No More BlackBerry Z10 or Q10s coming to T-mobile store
- It has more apps, yes, but "years ahead"? Your iPad Mini (not "mini iPad"..) is running iOS6, which has looked and worked almost exactly the same as when the first iPhone launched in 2007.
According to my calculations, that would put the OS years behind BlackBerry 10, which came out this year.
And to push your iPad Mini even further behind, YUP.. IT'S DONE, Apple is about to launch an iPad Mini with a retina display.09-01-13 11:56 PMLike 2 - It has more apps, yes, but "years ahead"?

It proves how moronic some people really are. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't BlackBerry 10 devices available in more than one country? Ah. Yes they are. So wait, does that mean Canadians are ignorant? It must, because Canadians aren't buying BB10 phones. Doesn't Europe have carriers that sell BB10 devices? I'm pretty sure they do! Man, that must mean Europeans are stupid as well. What other countries are filled with dumb people?
News flash people, no one is buying BlackBerry 10 phones. It don't matter which country it is. People don't want the phones because the phones simply aren't competitive. People in all countries are smart enough to realize that they don't want a BlackBerry 10 phone. They can compare the software features, the ecosystem and hardware specs and see for themselves that BlackBerry 10 is lacking in so many ways yet cost just as much as other smartphones that dont have those problems. That is all BlackBerry's fault. Not the consumers fault.
There are an awful lot of people in the world and only 1 million BlackBerry 10 devices shipped per month. Seems like the problem is much larger than just dumb Americans. But hey, it is easier to blame anyone except BlackBerry right?
The USA was not in the original launch of BB10 with the Z10. Sales sucked even before the USA got evolved.
A system must hit the ground fully ready to do battle these days. Not much time for trial and error.

- Apple outages dont kill their users internet connection lol
you see bbry devices run thru BIS as a proxy to encrypt and compress
this does iccludw bbm and internet signal which has been proven many times over with the 2009 outage
the only thing that could goes down if apple goes down is imessenger
we're not talking about updates we're talking about connections
bbry phones regardless of the generation still use bbry proxy servers
yes if your email server goes down your down however it doesnt kill your internet signal which should be provider dependent
Plenty of other ways to get emails too.09-02-13 12:07 AMLike 0 -

It's insane that for the last 3+ years, anything these idiots have done is a fail job before it's launched. Playbook - fail. BB10 - fail. Z10 - fail. Q10 - macho fail. Q5 - lolwut?
Why not throw your last resources at actually getting a functional, professional, COMPLETE OS? Instead let's throw cash at f1 teams and Alicia "black panthers 4 life" Keys. Well at least I'm sure the bigwigs got a few nice concerts and races in.09-02-13 12:33 AMLike 3 - I've said this before on this forum but when the explanation for a company not doing well is to blame its potential customers for not being smart enough to buy its products it has a VERY big problem.09-02-13 12:34 AMLike 11
- My manager told me the other day that all blackberry 10 devices will now be only available via direct ship. I work at a corporate store in cleveland I have to go check the Email but I'm not sure if this has just affected NorthEast Ohio. Does anyone know is this nationwide.

- I guess the idea of having the Marketing chief based in New York, USA hasn't worked out as well as BlackBerry hoped. Was kinda funny having a decentralized executive team to begin with but perhaps with video chat and everything, that wasn't seen as a problem. I wonder what they think now.

Looks to me that they are selling off all their stock and I would think that we'll see BlackBerry disappear all together over the coming months.
I'm afraid it's over.09-02-13 02:38 AMLike 0 -
But really, the phone still works just fine and will keep working fine even if T-Mobile doesn't promote it in their store.09-02-13 02:52 AMLike 0 - Boy do I hate to pizz on this parade, since it's halfway down the block, it's got a collection of floats, cheerleaders... Mounties. Canadian folk singers... Just spoke with my local T-Mo store (So. Cal.) and not only do they stock every current BBerry, they fully intend to stock anything new that comes in and they never heard the "direct order only" mantra. Maybe it's a "regional" thing? Or maybe some places in America are less stupid than other places?
I'd like to comment on the WSJ article briefly also, for what it's worth - did anyone else notice that the midwest was where those stores were located ? You know what else WSJ didn't mention ? Although it should be obvious : the Midwest hardly represents all of America's smartphone users. Hear of a little place called New York City, anyone ?

When did we get to the point that having apps was the make or break aspect of smartphones ?
I think when Americans get criticized (quite rightly,and we do deserve it) for our Jersey-Shore-esque, fast-food devouring lack of attention spans, and thinking of our (amazingly downwards spriraling) descent into some of the worst education standards in the world...one wonders about the guy who walks into a carrier store and says "Sorry, but if this phone doesn't have a dedicated app to let me watch viral Jack-*** videos on Youtube of grown adults glueing their hairy bodies together involving obese men and midgets, then I'm just not buying it." (An aside: On my Iphone, LITERALLY in the time it takes for Pandora to load, I can access it via the browser FASTER.)
Am I wrong to think the overall usability/likeability of the device itself is more wonderful ?09-02-13 03:11 AMLike 0 - The German government may be pretty competent, but I wouldn't say the US government agreeing to spend money on something is a ringing endorsement...they spend money on just about anything. Just look at the F-35....09-02-13 03:13 AMLike 0

- I'm in NYC and just last wek got a large tri-fold advertisement from T-mobile about the Q10, saying "It's okay to peek" on the front.
Mind you, I'm only just getting this now.
And I was planning soon to go from AT&T to Tmobile. Why would they not even have them out? It seems no carrier has any sort of
branding up for Blackberry. All I see in stores are huge signs for Apple and Samsung and Windows and Blackberry are over in the corner next to each with just a small banner.
Posted via CB1009-02-13 03:39 AMLike 0 - I called a local T-Mobile here and got the same thing...everyone chill out. Q10 still has a fighting chance, especially with the release onto Sprint. They will get something out of that, you watch. Even if this turns out to be true eventually nationwide, how many people think of T-Mobile (with the hot Liv-Tyler-esque chick mascot in fashionista cutie-pie pink outfits, mind you) as a "businessman's carrier" ? I will tell you, actually - not many. Verizon / AT&T/Sprint are the big boys for that side of things anyway, which is (more traditionally) Blackberry's turf...
