John Chen, BlackBerry's new chief executive,
lashed out at T-Mobile after it sent an email to BlackBerry users
imploring them to ditch their current devices and switch to an iPhone.
BlackBerry was not notified about T-Mobile's email blast beforehand,
causing Chen to become "outraged" over what he dubbed a "clearly
inappropriate and ill-conceived marketing promotion."Many a BlackBerry user subsequently asked if T-Mobile was halting its sale and support of BlackBerry. These questions prompted T-Mobile CEO John Legere to tweet, "BlackBerry users, I'm hearing you loud and clear. Let me work with the team and get back with you."
He later tweeted that T-Mobile was indeed continuing its BlackBerry service. T-Mobile followed that with an announcement that it would be offering expedited shipping of BlackBerry devices.
