Why are you abandoning BB Z30?

synkro

Hello... Hello... knock, knock...

is anyone home at Verizon Wireless???

I've just discovered that Verizon's abandoning the BB Z30 via this link

BlackBerry Forums at CrackBerry.com

This leaves me extremely frustrated by this apparent move,

What the hell is going on with Verizon Wireless??? At some level I have to agree with some of the others who have questioned this decision and are now considering abandoning Verizon Wireless for another carrier. I've been a Customer for over 15 years and if this continues, I will consider leaving you in a very painfully public way.

I am NOT happy with you Verizon Wireless. Get with the program and provide your Customers with a wider selection rather than trying to improve your product margins.

Its called poor sales, just like Windows phones.

Good luck at your new carrier.

Blackberry is on the way out as a company. Its listed at the bottom in sales. Why would Verizon carry a non performing device?

Think!

What is that supposed to mean? Seriously, if you want to leave then leave. Leave the theatrics out of it. It's called acting like an adult. By the way Blackberry will be out of business within 2-3 years at best.

You do know its back right? You can order the Z30 online now.

Bahahahah! Your iGnorance is amusing and your statement is a year out of date. In two to three years BlackBerry will be the dominant mobile computing platform. They are innovating around every corner while the other platforms stagnate and release the same old thing year after year (with a few added features like the ability to bend and new ways to collect/store/sell/leak personal data) Sales will follow innovation. Verizon would be wise to jump on the train before it gets moving too fast.

Not going to happen. Blackberry was saved via US Government Contract. I can tell you as of late the government switched over to Apple iphones. So RIM/Blackberry are on the road to non existence.

However at one time they were great.

hate to burst everyone bubble on the death of blackberry guess what as long as apple pay blackberry to connect that IPhone you guys love so much to anything Apple make(QNX own by blackberry) and the fact that Knoxs was a failure on Samsung part and they need blackberry to make it work. The fact those apple phone you see in government are on a lower tier and IOS8 do not have FIPS-140-2 approval you will not be seeing blackberry go anywhere!!!!

Is that dig assuming I'm an Apple supporter? Um sorry I dislike Apple. I have never owned and will never own an Apple product. Sorry your insult backfired on you.

BB4tw

No, mrhelper the dig wasn't directed at you.

As far as digs go, I don't take much about phones too seriously and any digs from me shouldn't be taken too seriously either. It's all fun but ultimately pointless debate as far as I'm concerned.

You do know that Verizon will be offering the BlackBerry Classic right?

unknown

I read that I believe. I have nothing against the devices.

I urge caution due to the state of the company. But I could be wrong. It wouldn't be the first time I have been wrong :smileyhappy:

DickLewis

State of the company? BlackBerry is doing very well right now. With the release of the Passport, soon we will see the Classic. New all touch phone already being tested, just nothing you can read about yet.

BlackBerry is making inroads, please don't spread misinformation about how the company is doing. Thanks.

Why BlackBerry (BBRY) Could Beat Earnings Estimates Again - October 21, 2014 - Zacks.com

BlackBerry Earnings Q2 2015: $11 million loss, better than expected | BGR

BlackBerry Limited (BBRY) Earnings Report Date - NASDAQ.com

Although gaining it also is still in the negative. A far cry from when it was a dominant company on sales.

But it may improve. I also read it sold less devices than windows phones. And who knows if it will recover.

With the government dropping its platform for Apple devices you and others will have to do a wait and see.

Our stock broker does not recommend it. (Merrill Lynch)

No misinformation was given. A loss expectation less than a loss projection is still a loss.

DickLewis

Loss or not, BlackBerry is doing fine. Very disappointed that someone that does not use a BlackBerry phone seems to want to continue to waste our time. All done on this subject. To each his own.

unknown

Waste who's time? I don't have to use the device to give an honest opinion on it.

I was in charge of communications services for a government agency for many years as part of my duties. I supplied these devices to many coworkers. I have nothing against the devices.

I simply urge caution. And you alluded to misinformation of which I proved it was not. Information to all to see.

I hope it works out and the company is viable again. But even the government agency I worked at has replaced them with new iphones. Even the president of the United States doesn't use one.

Sorry if you were upset.

DickLewis

The President still uses a BlackBerry, you miss all the posts about him forgetting it and going back to get it?
