if this phone will cost 200-370$ then at last blackberry is the winner in 2017 !!! if this phone cost 500$-600$
Waiting to buy!
I am passionate about BB and WhataApp so am miserable about the forthcoming loss of WhatApp on the BB OS. Because I love the Querty keypad, I am desperate to purchase the Mercury as soon as possible. I've called BB, but they won't breathe a word!! If anyone has news, please contact me at erobinson@londontowne.co.uk. Thanks!
Would be very interesting the split and enthusiasm if blackberry could allow any of the 2 OS to be installed on their device.
I will be selling my current device and sell the MERCURY should it be like the BB Classic in terms of shape, size and features.
is BB going to abandon us BB10 users????
with all these android phones coming, will passport, passport silver edtion and classic will no longer be in use? whatsapp has been warning to move to a supported device.
BB should find a way to upgrade the bb10 users to andriod
I wonder if I could run either Android or QNX on it.. Will they leave the choice with buyers of their phones.. ??
I am awaiting the launch of Android / BB IOS with Blackberry Phone with Physical Key board as touch phones are big nuisance in typing message or email. Blackberry is high security features.
Kindly inform the expected date of launch in India.
When will there be a software update by Blackberry to address the fast discharging battery issue; and phone overheating issue?
We the users would like to know.

You're ... moreSo I loved Android and just kept using my Samsung Galaxy then it broke December 2015
I had a Z10 brand spanking new UNOPENED for 18 months so forced to use it.
It is simply better than Android imo just one example on Android I had to run TWO task managers as RAM would be eaten up without you touching the phone
The problem with BB is that only in 2013 did Blackberry add a secondary camera to its phones which was way too late
(note NOT Apple who did not have camera flash until 2010, then Apple invented Camera Flash
The problem is that BB have ditched too early BB 10 and whilst the Priv was way overpriced (someones been looking in the Orchard) Giving a person Android when the need BB is going to result in failure
Blackberry should have released a BB10 version of the PRIV
Given a choice between the Andriod Priv and the Blackberry Priv I and many other would choose the Blackberry
The Priv I imagine is a excellent Android device and would attract NEW Android customers to Blackberry
To retain Blackberry you needed Blackberry device, HINT they bought Blackberry knowing Android was available
The Article is clear 3 ANDROID Devices
I accept that I jumped on the Blackberry bandwagon too late

I think spec is too high, I want an android with physical keyboard at $200 price range. I will wait for Mercury, hopefully not overpriced.

BB10 is the only mobile os capable of running cross platform apps, it has BB Blend, Hub and the best call quality, all functions are simpler and quicker to activate and it's more stable, smoother and faster than all other mobile Os', they only using android for the app support which is all android has to offer. BB10 is light years ahead my friend, android and ios will never be able to catch up to it, which is why in cars they still need qnx as the base for android and ios infotainment systems.

You're telling me to do some research when clearly you're the one who needs to do some reading. Grow up and accept BBOS is dead.
