@Anonymous thanks for taking the time to explain. I do appreciate that you may not be privy to what the procurement dept is up to, but in terms of offering customers more choice, I think BlackBerry should be stocked alongside Android, Apple and Windows Phone offerings. It's so frustrating to have to consider shelling out a ton of cash up front cover something that should be available as an upgrade. I would be happy if it was offered on business tariffs only as it is after all a productivity device and would be happy to change to a business tariff myself.

If they (02) were ever to provide Blackberries again then it would be more balanced to provide them across the spectrum.

From what I see on the street more of the younger generation use these devices than businessmen !

Really? I can't think of the last time I saw someone using a Blackberry and I do take an interest in the phones I see people using.

Yes really jonsie

As you know I'm a keen people watcher ,and I often see the younger generation walking round with all model types of Blackberries.

(Of course I can only go on my own observations)

They used to be very popular with kids when the Bold range was current and BBM was prevalent but since BBM has been pushed out to other OS's they seem to have declined in popularity somewhat.....
I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

I think the Curve range was more popular among the kids because of the cheap prices they could be bought for, particularly the 8520 even though it wasn't even 3G capable.

As for the BBM rollout, that has more to do with seeking a revenue stream from those who have already moved away from Blackberry and possible tempting some back.

I still use a BlackBerry and I'm 52! It's a shame that O2 appear to have dropped BlackBerry from it's shops. I'm due for an upgrade soon so I'll probably opt for a sim only deal and keep the handset I currently have. I don't know if it's been mentioned before, but CPW look likely to stock the Passport, but it might only be an online deal like the Z30 was.
