While the spat earlier this year between BlackBerry CEO, John Chen and T-Mobile CEO, John Legere, made for some tabloid-like headlines and deals for consumers on both sides in the short-term, since then it has ultimately left a lot of corporate customers in a lurch. With BlackBerry and T-Mobile US putting an end to their licensing agreement, companies that want to remain on T-Mobile and still use BlackBerry no longer have a direct pipe to new T-Mobile compatible BlackBerry phones.
T-Mobile BlackBerry Q10's for $250USD!
This issue has been brought to my attention more than a few times now since the break-up occurred, and more recently a solution has presented itself for T-Mobile corporate customers, with a BIG VOLUME of T-Mobile compatible BlackBerry Q10's being secured and available for purchase. For $250, unlocked, companies and individuals can pick up T-Mobile BlackBerry Q10's via Cellify. To be clear, these are Q10s with T-Mobile radio bands - just buying unlocked Q10s online does not necessarily mean you're getting the model that works with T-Mobile USA (the SQN-100-5 model). We vetted the deal to make sure everything is on the up and up in terms of how the inventory was obtained, etc. and everything checks out there.

T-Mobile Corporate Customer looking for new BlackBerry Q10's? Here's your hook up!
Has anybody successfully received their Q10 from this vendor? I suspect this is a fishy deal.
I ordered one today. I'll let you know in a few days one way or the other.
I took the plunge as well. I'll let you know too.
The phone was never shipped. I'm going through the process of getting my money back.
Mine arrived and works perfectly with T-Mobile USA. Shipping took longer than anticipated, though.
He told me twice that the shipping dept. was behind and he would make sure that it would be shipped that day. Like I said it was never shipped. The response I received the day I cancelled was in part: "Please understand this was a drop-ship experiment gone wrong and you are just one of many customers that have been treated unfairly. If the product was in my possession, you would have gotten your phone last week, but my vendor completely dropped the ball." He did apologize, but for me it was too little, too late. I'm glad you got yours.
We miss you Kevin!!! We need a weekly post at least to ease the withdrawals...Don't be a stranger
So tempting... but, I must wait for the Classic!
That's brilliant. Windmobile doesn't have them anymore AND THIS would be great for those wanting a Q10!!

is the double-typing issue thrown in for free with this deal?
Why are people bagging on Kevin? Has he moved over BlackBerry for ipohne?
Posted via CB10
Yes
I just bought one NEW on Ebay for $230---they have black/white
Are they "branded" TMobile at the bottom of the phone; if not, will WiFi calling still work?
As long as it's a SQN100-5, it does not matter. Just make sure you get the latest TMO approved OS.
I ordered two... But when I click on the link for the Q10 + accessories as a bundle for$265.00, it checks out as a stand-alone Q10 for $250.00
I want one!!

Hellooo Verizon and Z30??
Posted via CB10
Honestly who the hell cares about T-mobile? Legere publicly trash the BlackBerry brand and expect blackberry to keep up their end of the bargain, maintaining support for wifi calling (which no one other than maybe orange UK uses)
They can go rot, and frankly CB can save time by not reporting about them.

Good to see you too Kevin ;-)
Q10
I currently have the passport for tmobile and it works fine, with more than 100% savings I'm willing to drop a call once a week (if that). With the improvements there making hopefully the decent service it provides gets better. Last carrier was Verizon, they always overcharged on data and had their service issues too.

Let me know when t-mobile gets a new contract so I can get the Z30 or Passport!

Do these come with a 1 year manufacturers warranty?
I recently went through a near catastrophic experience with TMo. The N, H, and E went out on my Q10. I've been managing w/ my Z10. But I just need my Keyboard. I just recently had an extra $150 to pay my deductible to get a replacement. I originally filed my claimed online. Then realized it was not being processed. I called the insurance folks and they said that they did not handle mechanical claims. Which I knew was BS. They said I had to contact TMo. I told then OK TMo will not be able to help me I passed my warranty. But she insisted it says here mechanical claims are handled by TMo. So I called TMo. And they said oh all insurance claims are handled by the insurance folks. And I told the man. No no they said you handle them. Well it says here all insurance claims are handled by the insurance folks. Uhm no. So he transferred me anyway. Finally I got an intelligent lady who was able to tell me why my claim no longer was being processed. She said they did not carry any more Q10s. That I would get some lame LG as my replacement. I was devastated and said absolutely not. I was so irritated with the poor customer service and distraught with the fact that I could not have a new q10 that I almost broke down and bought an iPhone 6. I have TMo jump and would not have to pay anything up front for the upgrade. I was so close to go to the store and pick one up. After not very much thought I knew that they wouldn't be in stock and it wouldn't satisfy my discontent unless I had a new device in my hand now. So I called TMo back and got a kind lady in the US. She explained to me that with jump I did not have to pay a deductible to get a replacement phone. She confirmed that they still had Q10s in stock and that they could ship me one next day for a small processing fee of $5. I was so elated but at the same time annoyed. Wtf 3 phone calls later! Why couldn't I be offered this service in the beginning.. SMDH!
Needless to say I now have my Q10 in hand and it feels amazing to be able to type on it again. My life is whole again. Now if I could just figured out how to get 3.1 working on this bitch without it deleting all my settings upon restart!!!

Sorry I just needed to rant..

$250 - not a bad deal!

I already have my T-Mob Q10. Wake me up when a similar deal is offered for the Passport please!
Posted via CB10
I've got to say, as a T-Mobile customer, this is a heck of a deal for people that really need something since T-Mo and BB can't agree on things. Great tip!!
Pretty great deal if you ask me.

LOVE MY BLACKBERRY Q10 POWERED BY SPRINT UNLIMITED EVERYTHING 40GB A MONTH + 2GB FOR PROMO + 3GB FOR MY TABLET FOR A $100.00 A MONTH + TAXES...I'M OK HERE ON SPRINT IN SAN FRANCISCO!
great team, crap carrier.
Depends on the individual. The "Best device and best carrier" is the one that works for that person, period. Same with food, movies, music etc. etc. Some people drive Hondas others Volvos others Fords......
I use a Q10 on Sprint and have been happy for years (with BlackBerry and Sprint)
So because you wrote on caps on people gonna pay more attention to your comment?
/smfh
Deliver to Canada? Offers paypal checkout too
Blackberry Passport on the TELUS network
$50 cheaper than ShopBB. Not bad. What's the warranty situation here?
Kevin address the lack of BlackBerry news related here at CB please.
He just did,LOL
Seems like an awesome deal. Even includes a pouch and screen protectors.
Frosty White Q10/10.3.0.1052
Didn't verizon have a deal for corporate accounts for the Z30 few months back?
anyways.. that is good news for tmobile corporate customers!!
and BTW good to see the BIG boss post here once in a while. LOL
Only if they expect to pay $250 for a new device for users..... many corporate accounts get those device fees waved.
The real question is how long will T-Mobile support BlackBerry BES devices that need advanced services? A Q10 will work fine on T--Mobile no matter the "service" from the carrier, but a BES device that requires the advanced provisioning.....?
Grab 1 for me!

T-Mobile's network completely sucks. Thank god I have unlimited data on verizon.
Posted via CB10
So your experience with Verizon qualifies you to speak about T-Mobile? :)
I can speak fairly well about the voice coverage in the state of Washington. (I am a reluctant Verizon customer)
I was given a complementary T Mobile phone to see if I could get decent coverage in T Mobile's home state on one of my travels around the state as my small business rep agreed maps were not too accurate.
I am thankful for the renegade mentality of T Mobile. Unfortunately, Verizon understands no one can touch their coverage and therefore does not worry too much about rates.
What I found was up and down most freeways and major metropolitan areas service was good. Once you strayed very far from the main corridors, voice coverage dropped rapidly, while data lasted over a larger area.
Unfortunately, I am staying with Ma Verizon. Presently looking at ATT and pre-paid plans.
At what price though?
Posted from zee flicking coolest smartphone evah!
Good price means nothing if you can't use the service you are paying for.
Posted via CB10
Check out their earnings today to see how many customers they're adding. T-Mobile is the reason Verizon is proactively calling people like you to offer to lower their monthly bill. You (and everyone else with a cellphone in the US) should be thanking T-Mobile.
They haven't called me yet. They know dang well people in rural areas won't leave them for t-mobile. I wish I had the option. Everyone would have better rates then.

The SQN 100-5 is fully compatible with AT&T as well.
Ooooo you gonna be in troubbllleeeeee.....
