Blackberry Priv

[Anonymous]

Hey guys... new to the forums side of o2, i was wondering if anyone knows if o2 will be stocking the blackberry priv, if not stocking it would i be able to pay off my device then upgrade through carphone warehouse or do i have to pay off device and airtime plan on o2 refresh before i can upgrade like this(new to upgrading haha)

Thanks!

Should someone be checking why O2 are calling customers saying it's coming at the end of Jan then....?

Thats why I asked if it was them that called. It really sounds like a 3rd party seller claiming to be O2

i certainly didnt get the impression that it was anyone other than  02 ringing me, my current refresh finishes 28th feb - they rang me to see if i wanted an early upgrade, i stated i would only be upgrading if they stocked the priv which they currently dont. the 'caller' said that in that case i should wait until the end of JAN as CPW's exclusivity rights expire at the end of jan.

the whole blackberry thing is starting to get a bit annoying....why cant the people who dont want generic touchscreen crap phones be catered for correctly.

they got rid of blackberries at work and gave us these samsung things - trying to email off them is an absolute nightmare, with my q10 it cn be operated completely with one hand because it has a keyboard

Hi @Anonymous I think you need to be guided by Chris_K's comment here. http://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Other-Devices-Nokia-Blackberry/Blackberry-Priv/m-p/938668/highlight/true#M49113

Whilst he knows that CPW's exclusivity ends in January ...he has no updated info that O2 will be stocking it....

You could of course get it from CPW on O2 ...but wouldn't get it on Refresh....

Hi guys,

Please see @Chris_K's update as the one to reference (As Cleo has above).

@Anonymous, I'm about to send you a PM.

Just seen that the Priv is now available on Vodafone so Carphone Warehouses exclusive deal must be over, hopefully this means O2 will be stocking it soon.

I think you are going to be disappointed.....
