@Anonymous Yes I had been down to trial one but there seems to be a problem somewhere in the chain. 

I hope O2 aren't giving up on Blackberries altogether though.

Update on the Z30 after a delay it arrived whilst I was away so had to wait to pick it up from delivery office, had to security wipe then update to 10.2.1.2977, just have to complete the device switch now.

With the BlackBerry Passport set to be the flagship phone for the year and something completely new and different to the market, I do hope O2 plan to stock it

Am loving my Z30 though!

I'm pretty sure O2 have dropped all BB models which is a shame as the Z30 is an exceptional phone.

@Chris_K might have some more info on this....?

For me having trialled the Z30 via Try The Tech (and just to add balance) I was very disappointed with it (I posted a review previously). I had considered buying one before the trial, I certainly would not now.

I look forward to seeing the new BB and hopefully trying the tech on it to see if there is any further improvement but I feel BB have a long way to go. Sorry guys

Yes it seems Blackberry Handsets have gone out of o2's interest scope at the moment.

Hopefully trend may change that.

It's more a question of what's right for O2 and customers as a whole - ideally we'd like to stock every phone ever released on the market but due to logistics, stock room, wall space etc it's just not possible.

As I discussed a while back, we still partner with Blackberry and offer customers our complete support, wether they have a new or old device > http://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Discussions-Feedback/The-future-of-BlackBerry-on-O2/m-p/639205#M43270

With regards to the new 'Passport', I'm afraid we have no info to share on this at present but it's worth bearing in mind that Blackberry themselves are targetting professional/business users for this handset so it could have very limited consumer up-take... That is of course only my personal opinion - if I become aware of any official info on this device heading our way i'll make sure the Community knows about it.
