They're thinking the same thing Sprint/Nextel was when they announced the PTT Curve just the other day - this phone still has some life in it and people like it. I'm curious to know what the best selling blackberry model has been (pre-Storm). When those newer models come out, the price on this will drop, but it won't disappear in my opinion - and that'll just make it even more available to the customers that maybe have wanted it all along.
Even at a cheaper price, a handset sale for ATT/RIM is a handset sale, and likely a contract extension = $
“Apart from the fact that it's got a bit of infamy to outgrow, the old model was a pretty sharp-looking handset and the Storm2 refines that look in all the right ways.”
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
