The future of BlackBerry on O2

[Anonymous]

This is a question possibly for the moderators like Toby and Chiara, but I'd like to bring up O2's lack of BlackBerry models on sale.

With only the Q5 and Q10 available now, and despite the Z10 and Z30 being available to stock (I got my Z10 from O2 last year), are O2 no longer going to sell/stock BlackBerry smartphones? Will there be a lack of support for existing devices in the future?

Why aren't O2 stocking legacy BBOS7 devices such as a cheaper Curve model like the 9720 or the 9320 any longer? Surely there is still a huge customer base using Curve handsets?

I'm not one to suggest an ulterior motive, so as a long term BlackBerry user on O2 it would be interesting to hear the official stance as to why O2 have seriously slimmed down the choice of BlackBerry phones available.

So it appears that as customers we have been lied to by O2 staff...no Z30, no Passport...and not a single BlackBerry available on the O2 Store.

So much for a partnership with BlackBerry!

But again, I'll ask the question that was avoided by O2 staff the last time:

"What was it about the Blackberry Z10 and Z30  (and now the Passport) that meant they weren't the best devices for your customers (compared to the Q5 and Q10), and ensuring they didn't work for O2?"

Good question, hope you get an answer this time.

 An endangered species on O2, possibly already extinct.
