finally

All I see is a Blackberry Priv without the sliding keypad. BlackBerry still doesn't want to accept that full touchscreen devices are the rave now. Well, I hope their sales goes up

You'll never appreciate good things.
You expect them to design something completely different every year The design no go finish?

Tell me the difference between Samsung s6 and s7?
J5 and A5?
A7 and j7
Grand And Core Duos.

Or the difference between sony z1 , z2 z3 z4 or even the latest z5.

This phones have the same design and architecture but you guys will never find anything wrong with it.


People like physical keyboards. Few mistakes and swift.
If you don't like it someone else will buy it.
Everyone can't share the same tastes.
Look at how clean and masculine this blackberry looks. Very different from all other devices .yet you open your mouth to say bad things about it.

Well said

Time to replace my BB Passport with this beauty...

Still lono the fuzz about android - shit aint as classy as BB products. I'd say android is basically for kids and folks who are yet to decide what they really want to do with their life

You goofed big time Oga. How do you know I don't appreciate good things? You don't know me that well to make such a statement. But rather than bash you, I'll just enlighten you. The mobile phone market is shark-infested waters. That you were a market leader ten (10) years ago doesn't mean zilch (ask Nokia please); and that something was once the rave doesn't mean it can't be outdated or swallowed by new trends.

1. I remember a time when sliding phones were the rave. Every manufacturer had them in all shapes, sizes and styles. Let me ask you "how many phone manufacturers still make phones that slide?". Answer "Blackberry did in 2015" and the phone was a huge disappointment. In fact, in the 1st (first) quarter of 2016, the phone only sold 600,000 units!

Lesson: when a trend is dead and long gone; it's better to leave it buried.

2. I remember when Samsung launched its Galaxy Note 1. Everybody said it was too big and bulky; even those Apple fan boys and Apple executives. In fact, Apple mocked Samsung and said it will never produce a device that big. Guess what? They did with the iPhone 6 plus and it was a hit mehn! However, the KeyOne is just 4.5 inches! That's just 0.3 inches bigger than the z10!

Lesson: when you see that the trend is moving to a new cool, move with it on time.

3. You said people like physical keyboards. Well, I can tell you that over 80% of people who said they will never use a full touchscreen phone 5 (five) years ago have jumped ship. And a big percentage of those people were BlackBerry fan boys who have now found solace with either Apple or Samsung.

4. Every once in a while, you need to dazzle your consumers especially with your flagship devices (because that's where the bulk of your profit comes from). Samsung did it with the Note Series; they are currently doing it with the edge series; Apple has done it with the iPhone 7.

Last time Blackberry dazzled people was the Z10 (because it was their first phone that will use the OS 10 which had been experimented with on the Playbook). I shouldn't remind you about the hype and paranoia that surrounded its launch. Let me ask you another question "which other BlackBerry has been launched with such pomp and pageantry since the Z10?"

And don't mistake the KeyOne for a flagship; it's in fact a mid-range device that costs around $549 for the base price which is quite expensive believe me.

The goal of a manufacturer is not just to sell but to make profits; BlackBerry handsets have been selling but the company is in deep poo. So when I prayed that they made sales, I was actually wishing them well (I no be bad belle now)

A friend of mine uses the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3. Phone is a beauty; would choose it over any Blackberry.

Difficult to say. But it's better than all mid ranges phones in all aspects. They use stock Android so you'll expect better battery life from a 3505mah than 4000mah phone. only thing mi 5 is better than this is the chipset; 820 as against 625. The camera is better than that of mi 5

I also use a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro

Save for the screen size, I like this new BlackBerry device.

My problem with your line of reasoning is that you seem to imply you - an individual - can make a better business/design decision for RIM or the BlackBerry brand. (Most of what you've listed are just your peeve likes on a device/in a company, actually. Even the size of a screen is a personal choice, for Pete's sake.)

It doesn't work that way, sorry.

For instance, Apple defies conventional wisdom - at least this far, and that company is not likely to let up any time soon - even in the face of extreme childish taunts and Cyber abuse by immature Android fanboys of it's business model/products/prices.

Mind you, I'm not a fanboy of any company or brand, I just happen to use gadgets that appeal to my fancy at any one time.

In the mean time, the last BB device I used was an 8820, and that was quite a number of years ago already (I've never seen a better, more sexy and functional keyboard!) Now, I'm falling for the KEYone, and looking forward to using it alongside my other Droid devices as soon as my financials permit.

Good luck, everyone.

Let me support my wonderful OP in this beautiful thread.

I am proud to say I am a sucker for phones with the physical qwerty keypad and I have never and will never use a full touch screen phone. #forever #teambb

As you can see on that link in the 3rd picture this phone is already a success.
Sold out already online as demand is very high. Simiolu1 keep calm and love BlackBerry
