question: is it a crime for blackberry to make a dual sim phone? if they make a dual sim phone, will their company close down?
it sounds to be PERFECT !

i'm laughin' bout the FM radio issue.
still using "SMARTPHONE" as a radio? ridiculous. It's for business man.
anyway, i wonder, will there be a smartphone that has a built in washing machine in the future? haha.. RADIO
chris, 23 Oct 2015and its quite heavy 192 grms is like a brickIt's better than brick, lad. It's a smartphone. Stop complaining just for the sake of complaining.
Rest in pieces BB, for you have finally dug your grave. I will be the last person to waste my money on anything Android, not even from BB company. What a suicide mission BB has taken. Look, Android OS is a crap platform in the smartphone world. Don't mind its popularity, its a common phenomenon with every open source OS. So, popularity doesn't really mean reliability. Do you know, after lollipop update an Android phone consumes 6gb for system files only? What then will an Android user with 8gb internal memory do? He need to move all his apps to SD card, and you know, doing that will increase the app hang /crash problems in Android platform. Even at that, not all app can be moved to the SD card. Now, when you add up the security problem of Android with its hunger for space and power, you see its uneconomical to use the platform, no matter how cheap it may be. What a shame - suffering and smiling; a hopeless and helpless situation they found themselves in. BB has shot itself on the knees, what a shame!
John, 23 Oct 2015I think its gonna fail. Hope not, but £579 (GB) is too much. But first of all, please consider to offer the PRIV with a polished BBOS as alternative say spring 2016? Please!
AnonD-240452, 22 Oct 2015I don't think FM radio feature is part of the "smart" in smartphones. Anyway... yeah, I comple... moreYou are right. FM radio is so basic functionality, that is were present in many phones long before they were called 'Smart'. So more a part of 'Phone' than 'Smart'.
Here some 10 years or older examples

A little pricey but the specs are at least where they should be and the keyboard should appeal to many. Worth a look.
