Available on Verizon? Yes No?

Blackberry needs to sell 5 million units to stay afloat, and they're doing the same stupid thing Steve Jobs did with iPhone. Imagine if Jobs gave the iPhone to all carriers from the beginning.? Android would never have gained the popularity it did.

Jobs was starting small... I doubt he even expect the iPhone to be as successful as it was. Also exclusive deals were very common back then, most carriers had totally different line ups of phones. Even when the did carry the same phone it was different in some way.

But Bla1ze indicated this was a Verizon decision and not a BlackBerry one.

All that picture shows is that it's being tested and evaluated on the Verizon network. As far as we no, there has not been a decision, although yes the rumor is early 2016 for a Verizon release. It's also rumored/reported that AT&T has some sort of initial exclusive (could there be a say 3 month exclusive?) And Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile get the device in Feb? And of course you CAN use an unlocked one from shopbb on T-Mobile and it's reported band 12 (the voLTE) works.

This. As posted before big red likes to lag a few months behind - they've been doing it for years. I don't expect mine before January sadly

"My source says Verizon will launch it in early January, also said if it's well received on att and sells they may move that time table up drastically"
