Hi

This has been asked by @Anonymous and it seems only a small line of blackberries were currently chosen to be sold.

There doesn't appear to be any online these days. Better to go instore or call 202. No doubt independents such as CPW stock BBs but don't do the Refresh plans.

Places such as the high street store CEX still sell unwanted upgrades or second hand blackberries at pretty good prices.

I think the demand for Blackberrys has certainly died down a considerable amount and O2 probably don't think it's worth stocking too many models

You could upgrade through carphone warehouse if they have the blackberry you want it will still be on O2

Just no Refresh Tariff Option from CPW.

2 years is a long time to be locked into a contract and same phone. 😞

You could always buy a sim free phone from CPW and take a sim only contract with O2 if funds allow....

I need it to be connected directly with o2...

Anyway, you never know, bb passport and Q20 will be released soon so they may be back on o2, although really wanted the z30.... The passport is a bit of a brick....so fingers crossed the q20 looks good

Hopefully yes you may be lucky
Is buying the phone sim free then using your O2 sim not a viable option for you?

We did recently have a blackberry on 'Try the Tech', where members get to play with different phones for two weeks so you never know.

Bad timing for you there @MI5

Looking forward to your eventual review.
