BLACKBERRY LEAP







BlackBerry’s newest smartphone is now available for Malaysians to pre-order on 11street. The BlackBerry Leap is aimed at young executives who are just about to begin building their careers, and is priced at a point that won’t break their wallets.

Featuring a 5-inch touch display, the BlackBerry Leap follows the more conventional smartphone form factor. Running on BlackBerry 10.3.1, it also features a 2800mAh battery that BlackBerry claims to provide 25 hours of power even on heavy use.



The pre-order begins today and lasts until 19 May 2015; which is the day that the smartphones start shipping. BlackBerry fans can secure their Leap for only RM1089, which includes GST. In addition to this, 11street is throwing in a BlackBerry premium cap and leather phone pouch for the first 100 pre-orders. Confirmed pre-orders will also receive an 11street shopping coupon with RM150.

This pre-order deal is exclusive to 11street, and other vendors will only begin selling the BlackBerry Leap after 20 May. There is no word from local telcos yet about their BlackBerry Leap plans, but it can be expected that Celcom should be announcing something reasonably soon as they are one of the partners behind 11street.

Retailing USD349 in BB official site, RM1089.00 seems reasonable price in our shore. But then again expect the price to drop at least 10-20% after first two months. With the price, current Z3/Z10 users might opt for Z30 instead of Leap.

I personally much looking forward to the new slider and PP2, which should be launch by Q3/4 2015. There's killer in them if you search around.

My thread is so quiet, seems like BB fans are not interested with this phone

The phone is nice.
But BB should put NCF and usb OTG as a must to every BB device.
It must be BB standard.

its not quiet per se, don't worry.


BlackBerry user base is still there. This phone, I can see the good sides about it despite people saying stuffs about better buy a Z10 / Z30.


That said, i'm not sure this holds a candle against the Z30, but this one definitely has a LOWER cost and better profit margins for BlackBerry.


Will see how this one gets cannibalized by Z30.

Blackberry has NFC and OTG are working on Blackberry devices.

By far, my Z10 and Passport works on both occasion.

As for me... a BlackBerry is a device with a keyboard... For full touch screen, I won't opt for BlackBerry d... With a keyboard, it is definately unique and looked damn classy...

I agree...their legendary keyboard is outstanding. But their full touch screen is not that bad also..tried a z10, z30 and z3 the feel is different when i typing.lol

Hehe... But I never own any full screen BlackBerry... Don't come bash me...

Not working on Q10. Demm.

Mao man tai...

Different people different thought...same thing, we share...right?

I have not yet by far try Q5 or Q10. Both do not have NFC?

I mean otg which is more important for me.

Wanted to try out blackberry but still can't convince myself against the android. Not sure changing from android to this will impact my usage of day to day phone...

If u a heavy gamer and rooting etc, i suggest stick with android.

If u just a simple user like using the phone for whatsapp, facebook, wechat, this phone is suitable for u.

Why don't you get a BlackBerry and yet still use your Android ? I have both and both work wonders...

If you are already very dependant on your Android apps, I suggest dont try Blackberry.
If you are normal user and only use apps like Facebook, Waze, Whatsapp, Instagram then you can give BB a go

I'm not really heavy app users and I don't do rooting... But I do use a lot of social app, financial app like cimb / maybank2u, i use waze to get to places, i use a lot of google stuff like youtube, keep, and i sync all my contact and my calendar with google contact and google calendar, i also uses sunshine to capture all my appointments.. basically I'm just work and no games on my phone.

I only have 1 number and I don't fancy bringing two phones around...

I think all the need you have will go with the Blackberry. Get a Blackberry Classic or Passport if you use a lot for work.

Hi guys.. just bought the passport. Can I know if anyone installed chrome and hangouts? I installed the playstore but can't seems to get this two app to work
