Op, the price is not a mistake. I was gonna open this thread earlier but good someone else opened it. BlackBerry decided to make s good Android phone but then skyrocketed the price. Wtf. Do they think Nigerians are fools or what? I know the retail price is about $ 750-$850, still too expensive. And they added the Nigerian factor because they know Nigerians love BlackBerry. That was why bold 5 was selling for 130k in Nigeria when it launched and that stupid z10 was selling for 120k. Even the oversized awkwardly shaped passport sold for 170k. I wonder which people buy these phones. What they fail to realize is the game has changed and Nigerians a wiser. Thanks to infinix and tecno that make cheap mid range phones. And thanks to gionee and xioami that make premium phones at affordable prices. Even a money miss road would rather buy a Samsung Galaxy note 5 or s6 edge plus or even iPhone 6 than this crap priv and still have some change.

In fact anybody that buys this crap for 225k needs to get his brain checked. I was actually considering buying this phone to give BlackBerry a try but st that price, I'd rather get an LG v10 . would have bought note 5 but already have a galaxy s6.
All the point raised are valid but you know individual taste and fashion varies. Blackberry are not fools to set up such price without knowing the consequence. I bet you that someone Nigerians will still buy that device inspite of the criticism. If some Nigerians can cough out about N180,000 to buy Iphone 6, the new bb is a piece of cake. Mind you, the more you critize the company or it's dealers for such high price, the more people become inquisitive about the so called bb priv.

Note 5 is also between $700-800 in the market yet it sells for 176k here. And LG v10 is like $750 and it sells for 154k here.

Like I said it is worth between 150,000 to 200,000 Naira, anything more is just added cost by the middlemen. Everyone knows that new phones cost more, give it 3 months from now and it would be definitely cheaper. When Note 5 first came out, it sold for over 200,000 Naira at slot.
