That's a whole lot of pie!
An undisclosed customer bought a million BlackBerrys from the smartphone maker formerly known as Research In Motion -- marking the largest ever single purchase in the company's history.
These aren't the business basic gadgets of years past, of course: The Canadian company unveiled the new BlackBerry Z10 and BlackBerry Q10 in January to rave reviews from tech watchers worldwide. The company hopes the redesigned BlackBerry will fuel a comeback -- and orders of this magnitude suggest it may be working.
The pioneering brand lost its cachet not long after Apple's 2007 release of the iPhone, which reset consumers' expectations for what a smartphone should do.
The Z10 is already available for purchase in a number of markets around the world; it will begin selling the touchscreen smartphone to U.S. consumers with AT&T on March 22 for $199.99 with a two-year contract. Sales of the device began in the U.K. and Canada shortly after RIM unveiled the phone in late January.

Somehow, a SmartObamaphone sounds like an oxymoron to me.........
Yeah but if it’s a Blackberry it’s really not a smartphone because smart people use Apple or Droid. ;)
Blackberry?
Fire up the flux capacitors, cause we’re going Back to the Future.
No thanks.
Don’t internet shop when you are drunk.
Or purchased by Homeland Security to be targets for their 1.6 billion rounds of ammo.
People haven’t been paying attention to why the new blackberry sales are so high...
Ah, okay, that’s it. It’s gotta be a big company. Just checked Verizon’s page and their taking “pre-orders” right now; i.e., they don’t have them yet. So maybe they’re waiting on this batch? Price is the same as the AT&T price.
Sheesh, maybe I'm drunk.
I wouldn’t doubt they are going to federal employees
gues dhs needs some phones.
