Sprint takes a pass on BlackBerry’s first new smartphone

Sprint takes a pass on BlackBerry’s first new smartphone:
BGR confirmed some of the best news BlackBerry could possibly get late last week, but not everyone is convinced that the BlackBerry Z10 will have the same draw in the United States. The nation's No.3 carrier Sprint (S) recently confirmed to Bloomberg that it will be the only top carrier in the U.S. to pass on BlackBerry's (BBRY) first next-generation smartphone. Instead, Sprint will wait for the BlackBerry Q10 before it gives the new BlackBerry 10 platform any support. "We aren’t saying there’s anything different about our customers," a Sprint spokesperson said. "We think our customers will be happy with the qwerty keyboard and touch screen on the Q10."
