Even at home, BlackBerry can’t catch a break

One might think that if there’s a friendly place for a company to sell its wares, it would be in their home country. BlackBerry is finding that it’s a challenge as one of Canada’s most prominent smartphone sellers won’t be carrying the Z30.

BlackBerry says its latest smartphone will arrive in Canada later this month, but it won’t have the support of one of the country’s largest carriers.

The smartphone maker says Rogers Communications has decided not to stock the new BlackBerry Z30, a touch-screen model similar in size to a Samsung Galaxy 4, when it’s released on Oct. 15 at various Canadian retailers.
