T-Mobile Attempts Peace with its BlackBerry Users?

- They're trying hard to move the BlackBerry fans onto new devices. They don't want to deal with BlackBerry anymore.
*Any phone except BlackBerry. Because we don't have any.

(see second to last paragraph above). Looks like you can upgrade by just bringing in an old blackberry...04-04-14 06:11 PMLike 0

At this point, it's out of T-Mobile's hands to get the Z30. They might have caved in and started offering it as a peace offering, but there's no way that's going to happen with BlackBerry pulling their license.04-04-14 06:15 PMLike 0 - I can't find the Z30 link on AT&T or Sprint... What are they pretending to be?

Z10 is already in my pocket and an offer of a $100 for what I already have or for any other platform...people will jump ship.Gykesdollars likes this.04-04-14 06:32 PMLike 1
- Still waiting for my email from Mr. Chen...*sigh* am I not on the BlackBerry roster anymore?! lol
TMO: Psst! BlackBerry User! Take $50 off a new iPhone!
BlackBerry: Uh that's not kosher...
TMO: Oh you didn't want a new iPhone? OK here's $200 here for a new device or $250 for a BlackBerry!
BlackBerry: That's still a no no senior! We're taking our agreement and giving your BlackBerry users a $100 for a new BlackBerry from us!
TMO: Well then...I see your raise with $100 here for any new device!
Who knew using a BlackBerry on TMo would rain all these discounts. At this rate I should have a bunch of new phones on top of the Q10 I won off BBM.
Posted via CB1004-04-14 06:47 PMLike 0 - Have you guys send an email to Mr. Chen that t-mobile BlackBerry users want the z30?
I think if we send enough emails he'll listen to the BlackBerry fans.

I might get a back-up Q10 for one of the old things I have in my signature below (man, hope I find that thumbwheel one-- worth the look on a TMO staffer's face when I bring that in and say, upgrade me! Maybe I can bring a cane and speak very loudly like an old man...)

I don't understand why BlackBerry on a whole aren't simply marketing themselves and the devices to the hilt. Honestly.jh07 likes this.04-04-14 08:04 PMLike 1
- Are they talking out of both sides of their mouth too, figuratively speaking? And have you seen this? That's how you pander to a group
In sum: For the BlackBerry fan, no Z30, the latest, like on T-Mobile. For the average consumer, no 10.2.1, worse than T-Mobile. For those upgrading from BBOS7, cheaper Z10 and Q10, better than T-Mobile.
We know the full LTE AT&T compatible version (-1) of the Z30 passed FCC approval, but it hasn't shown up. AT&T hasn't made waves, like T-Mobile, but it certainly isn't keeping up with having the latest hardware or OS.04-04-14 09:04 PMLike 0 -
we�re offering a $100 credit toward any new device, including the BlackBerry Q10 or the Z10
It's possible AT&T's offer could be available for other devices as well, but the language is much tighter. TMO's is very clear--any device.
They /could/ have done something earlier, yes, but at this point, they won't have a license to sell Z30's after April 25th. That was my point about it being too late. If BlackBerrry didn't pull the license, perhaps they, T-Mobile, *could* have been coerced into carrying the Z30 to make amends.
And again, nor are they speaking out of both sides of their mouth.04-04-14 09:16 PMLike 0 -
If AT&T begins to offer 10.2.1, then they're as good as T-Mobile in OS support. If the Z30 comes out, well, I'll certainly agree that they're better than T-Mobile.
Understood.04-04-14 09:43 PMLike 0 - Only difference between AT&T and T-Mobile is 1. T-M went after BB customers and that wasn't cool. 2. T-Mobile came out with the 10.2.1 update and AT&T just keeps telling customers "we are testing" and they say nothing else. I am a customer of AT&T and if I was a T-M customer at least I would know where the company stands. With AT&T they could be silently telling BB to take a hike off a short pier and the consumer would never know. 10 months of "testing" without an update release doesn't sound very supportive either. So for GSM customers in the U.S.A. there is not much to be excited about. Thankfully BB is starting to sell the Z30 direct and maybe they are manufacturing some models to sell direct to AT&T customers some time in the coming months. We can always hope so!04-04-14 11:21 PMLike 0
- In my view it's Chen who is the reason for my not having a Z30 because of the ! #!*!+' exclusivity deal with Verizon and BlackBerry's related failure to get an expensive phone subsidized with each of the 4 major US carriers. That's what should have happened.
And, since it's already the 2nd quarter of 2014 and the Z50 is supposed to be coming out in Q3, the window of time for Chen to take action getting T-Mo customers Z30's seems small--we'll be upgrading soon anyways.
Once the Z50 is out the Z30 will drop in price, presumably, so that should help both Z30 availability and pricing for anyone who wants one.
