BlackBerry Limited Edition not available on Verizon
RIM have been sending out an email today regarding the Limited Edition device and Verizon in the USA.
It appears that the Limited Edition device will not be able to be used on the Verizon network.
The email states the following:
Hello,
We want to start by saying thank you for you continued support and commitment to the BlackBerry 10 platform. The excitement around this launch, device and platform is palpable and we owe our developer community a debt of gratitude for that. In fact, that’s one reason we want to give the Limited Edition BlackBerry 10 smartphone to our developers.
I wanted to let you know that although you have applied to receive a BlackBerry 10 Limited Edition device, we are not able to offer the device from Verizon. Instead we will send you a 4G device.
Please note that Verizon is completely committed to launching BlackBerry 10 devices, but we are not able to order the Limited Edition devices at this time.
Thank you,
BlackBerry Developer Relations Team
There is no explanation given on the reasons at this point in time.
That’s my guess as well.
I would think it would be because of the LTE radios for the diffrent versions of the Z10
