T-Mobile to stop stocking BlackBerry phones in US stores A customer will still see a phone on the shelf. If inventory is not available in the store, the device can be ordered. They said that the company "continues to support the BlackBerry platform." On Monday BlackBerry revealed it had agreed in principle to be bought for $4.7bn (£3bn) by a consortium led by Fairfax Financial. The deal follows a torrid few years for the Canadian company with its smartphone market share has shrinking drastically in the face of rivals like Apple and Android. Last week BlackBerry announced it is planning to cut 4,500 jobs - equivalent to 40 per cent of the workforce - in the face of massive losses. The company warned that losses of as much as £621m could be posted when second-quarter earnings are revealed next week.
