This is really good news but the biggest lesson Ive learnt from BB is don't jump the gun until the next quarters results come out. So many things we heard about BB10 especially the Q10 but the following quarters results portrayed a completely different picture. I'm still very hopeful. Another big factor is how much profit BlackBerry is making per unit sold.

This kind of news always ends in disappointment.. stay hopefull tho just don't get too excited

I would completely agree, although this phone I believe is less about profits and more about getting BB10 to the Masses. If BB can sell a new image it puts them in a better spot for higher end phone's as those markets mature and see what the new BB has to offer.

I don't think they should rise the price. Lol. It sells well because of the price tag. If it is changed, then the device would be less competitive.

They don't do it, the shops do it...

BlackBerry Z3 Sells Out on First Day in Indonesia (Pictures) | Inside BlackBerry

From Eric Lai:
According to my Asian colleagues, first-day sales of the Z3 were several times stronger than for our other recent BlackBerry 10 handsets. Feedback from our retail and distribution partners indicates that sales will likely continue to be strong throughout the weekend.

It seems that the decision of rising prices didn't come from BBRY or Foxconn but from the retailers themselves, so is good that the retailers can make more money from these phones so they keep stocking them, from here will be supply and demand, right now these are the first days so the hardcore BBRY users in Indonesia are willing to pay a little more to grab the phone so the demand is pushing the market for now, let's hope this stays this way at least for a month.

[SUBLIMINALLYINCORRECT]

price gouging means there is a high demand and little supply. I want actual numbers of sales but that has yet to be seen.

But the media is reporting that only a few people cued up to buy them

I love this quote:

"I prefer a phone that functions like a mini computer, and I don't see that with BlackBerry,"

If only BlackBerry had a vision to be a mobile computing platform and could release software where you could, for instance, splice together a movie or presentation on the go.

Posted via My Beast Q10

Why is this always the first thing said when a BlackBerry phone sells out?

I know it would be good to know the number, but what matters is that every unit is sold.

Let's be happy at what any other company would be happy at.

I guess, under 50.000.. it was just a test release... next delivery will probably contain 100.000..

They already said they made 25000 Z3s special edition so if it's true that all are sold out then that's 25000 or more.

I personally think it's more than 25000.

Get the Overstock Z10 units over there and offer them for $50 more to those who won't wait for the next restocking. That at least will help reducing inventory.
