I heard from a customer representative of Verizon that Verizon will not carry the Blackberry Passports.

I think Verizon needs to release a public statement regarding their decision instead of keeping loyal customers on the edge of their seats, as other reliable sources have indicated that Verizon will sell Passports, however the devices will not be on display in the stores, but available to buy and pick up from their Verizon stores eventually. If Verizon can't release a statement to carry Blackberry Passports by the time AT&T launches Passports, I will assume that Verizon no longer cares about the needs of their clients and take my business elsewhere. The clock starts now.

Totally agree with you.

Most Verizon reps in the stores haven't a clue. They are so keen on pushing Android or iPhone, that most are not familiar with BlackBerry models at all. Until BlackBerry is given some respect from Verizon, it will stay that way.

It is not respect which Verizon needs to give. It is sales which people must generate in order to get the respect. Respect for a device is normally equal to the number of sales it generates. The more sales, the more respect it will get from the sales staff.:smileyhappy:

So I have to repeat myself. To sell, merchandise needs to be in the stores and on display.

Customers are not read minders. Verizon sales rep push other brands and haven't a clue about BlackBerry.

That is the fault of Verizon Wireless for the way reps are trained. 'Nuf said.

I think it is sad that paying customers some with multiple lines can not get the products they want or at the very least a straight answer about will the product be available. The reply will go the same place as the rest, the spam, junk, trash or black hole at Verizon.

Is there some other kind of customer than a paying one?

CasAries I'm sure it sucks not being able to get what you, want where you want it. But we've all at some point felt that pain before. I have nothing against BlackBerry or it's users...I think choice is great...it's just not the device for me. I was crying inside when Apple made the iPhone exclusive to AT&T for the years that they did. I wanted an iPhone but I like the service I received at VZW more...so I chose with my mind rather than my heart and I stayed at VZW. I, like many others, waited it out until Apple opened it up to other carriers. My point is that if you want the device bad enough, and you can someone make AT&T work as your provider...then show VZW your distaste by voting with your $$$ and moving over to the carrier that has the device that you prefer. Most carriers now are paying some sort of money to cover ETF's. That's the best advice I can give as it doesn't seem like VZW is going to get the device you want...and if the rumors on the internet are right, AT&T has a lock on it for a while anyway...

The Passport actually has had a strong release with many sales. Besides, as far as demand goes, the more people who "demand" to see these phones in the stores, the better the response will most likely be. Stay strong, Blackberry fans, and keep pushing.

AT&T has the exclusive for the BlackBerry Passport in the USA. http://m.crackberry.com/att-getting-exclusive-blackberry-passport-when-it-launches-usa Don't blame Verizon Wireless for a decision made by BlackBerry.

But Ann we all know Verizon is evil and greedy so it HAS to be their fault they are only concerned about money and want to screw over all their customers because they hate them.

I'm beginning to think the Classic, rumored to be the Verizon exclusive instead of the Passport, will suit me even better. The novel design of the Passport certainly caught my eye and lit a fire under my butt, however as I've had time to cool off and look more rationally at my preferences, I'm thinking Classic is where it's at.
