It is already available, go buy Alcatel Idol 4, they are the same.

I can't find the Alcatel on lazada.

It's going to be like this:

DTEK50, what a name.

The main features will the Dtek50 is loaded with hardening OS and other security features, compared to Idol4, plus I don't think Idol4 will get patches/security updates whenever they release.

USD299 is quite attractive, so this phone could be the game changer for Blackberry. Let's see.

Priv took less than 2 months to reach our shores after they released in US so I believe we should get this in Sept if not sooner.

Some quick comparison from GSMARENA.

I think I will go for a slashed price priv since they are not so secured anymore compared to DTEK50.

DTEK50, no matter how odd the name is, for me a good move by BlackBerry. Yes it have a similar form factors and internals of Idol 4s, but the security patches itself is well worth the price point. Having the BlackBerry Android OS with accessible price point is one of Priv's main criticism. Hopefully it DTEK50 resonated well with the masses and enterprise market.

waiting for official announcement

I think generally it receives quite a lot of fair to good review. The only draw back seems like the lacks of fingerprint and comparably small battery capacity, but the security features compensate in contrast.

Anyone purchased from UK unlocked mobiles?

Seems like good deal but I am not sure whether it is compatible with our network/telco here.

Don't worry, seems works.

For those who can't wait for the DTEK50 to be available, you can order from clove.co.uk.

https://www.clove.co.uk/
https://www.clove.co.uk/dtek50-by-blackberry

DTEK50 £229.17
Shipping £18.00 (tracked and signed, shipped by Royal Mail)

DHL or Fedex shipping available

Hardware based on Alcatel but software is different.

BlackBerry DTEK50 has a hardened kernel, verified bootloader, enhanced memory protection, full-disk encryption, SD card protection, advanced Wi-Fi authentication, monthly Android security patches, and ability to control what an app can do.

Will wait and see how it's priced here. RM1k or below will be good. So gonna buy this if within my budget. Will it work in NZ? Xiaomi Mi3 have issue with NZ networks.

No problem with NZ.

Works on the following:

Malaysia: Celcom, DiGi, Maxis, U Mobile
Singapore: SingTel, M1, StarHub
Australia: Optus, Telstra, Vodafone
New Zealand: Spark New Zealand, Vodafone, 2degrees

Thx! Xiaomi m3 is a bit inconsistent in reception using Spark in NZ. However my Mi4i seems fine with Voda

It stated there "(UK customers only)", so I guess your order will be rejected.

The "UK customers only" refers to the free high capacity mobile charger.

UK customers > free high capacity mobile charger.

International customers > no free gift.

Oh damn, that powerbank BlackBerry branded is nice. I guess need to wait for official one here.

I am waiting for DTEK50 to be launched in Malaysia. Watched a review and they said the most safest (top security) phone in the world?

Finally. Looks good.

Nicceeee

more pics of the phone please

Sure, when I get home and have time, will post more pics.

Nice!! Can't wait for more pics!!

Uih? On sale ah!?

pinhorn looking at the box, makes me want it too. No blackberry powerbank comes with this?

Not sale. You can order from here. They ship to Malaysia. Power charger for UK customers only.

The power bank from clove.co.uk is a bonus gift for UK customers only.

Very nice device, no regrets getting it.

About 5 days. The VAT is for UK residents/customers only.

International orders has no VAT. So the price for international orders is £229.17.

Wohoo...ok...noted with VAT info....any shipment fee? So after convert to Ringgit Malaysia is around RM1,197.365?

Custom not inspecting or holds up your package?
What's the description there that they stated?

Mine previously the seller put the word PHONE in there and straight away custom hold it.

Nice... battery life good ?

I fancy that powerbank, blackberry branded. Looks nice.

Any idea when will Blackberry announce DTEK50 availability? Looks like M'sia is a forgotten market....

Just asking Brightstar for the availability. Waiting for a reply.

Great!!!

Really want to see what the pricing is. Really wanted a BB. The previous models are basically priced out of range.

Apple is too expensive and Berries have better nutritional values!

at www.11street.my

Seems Brightstar ignored to answer and 11street already up for pre-order. For 1339 is good for Alcatel re-branding

Brightstar is killing BB.

Basically they're not interested to do anything on BB

It's not Brightstar fault though. It just they don't earn much from device that only small percentage of buyers in here. Also they don't dare to order big stock but the demand is few.

Since Ingram had quit distributing BB, Brightstar is the only hope apart from Celcom's offering it too in usual manner.

I would say 1,339 is a fair pricetag in our shore. Let's see how it fares.

BTW I feel that the pre-order bundle of powerbank is only for other regions, it's not so 'pre-order' here. Not that if MY distributor put in the powerbank will attract more sales, maybe slightly.

Just found out T&L is offering RM1,249 for import set. Wow.

And ya DTEK60 spec is leaked. Head over to google/crackberry for more info.

Looks like BB is ditching it's own OS for good.

Dunno if BB's built quality will be compromised with all these rebadged phones. BB is taking a leaf outta Proton's book

Used to love BB's built quality. My Bold 9700 is a tank!

I just got one from e-bay with A TETDED case

That BlackBerry powerbank is nice looking though

Price is cfm to be RM1339 incl of GST... No bundled powerbank, though...

It's getting near. DTEK60. Rumoured to be launched 11 Oct 2016

According to the listing spotted on BlackBerry’s website, the smartphone will feature a 5.5-inch QHD display, powered by Snapdragon 820 SoC, 4GB of RAM and 32GB of expandable storage. In terms of camera, DTEK60 will sport a 21MP rear sensor with f/2.0 aperture, while the front camera will sport an 8MP sensor with f/2.2 aperture. For connectivity, the smartphone will offer USB Type-C port, NFC, Wi-Fi a/c, Bluetooth 4.2 and GPS. DTEK60 is packed with 3,000mAh with Quick Charge 3.0.

If the DTEK60 specs are true, will compete with many flagship models especially from China. Don't thk BB's pricing will be as attractive.

should i go with DTEK 50 or wait for DTEK 60?
is there any way i can get DTEK 60 after launched in UK?

Wait for DTEK60 of course. BlackBerry seems like to produce new phone every 3-4 months? DTEK50 barely available worldwide and already rumored to release end of this month.

how much do u reckon will it cost here?

Should be between 2000 to 2199.

hahaiii

Now pre-order in US for $499

which retailer that i can go to?

http://www.gsmarena.com/unannounced_blackb...-news-21008.php

When I checked, B&H already pull out the pre-order page.

Just placed and order for the DTEK50..... On Gem5~

Can't wait to get it soon!

DTEK60 for $700 is kinda big mistake from BlackBerry.

http://www.staples.ca/en/BlackBerry-DTEK60...30_2-CA_1_20001

Awesome! Do give your first impression here when you get the device okay

It's Canadian Dollars right? It's about 400++ when converted into USD

USD 535, quite okay. SD 820, 4GB RAM, 2K display, but nothing special anymore with BlackBerry rebranding phone. The only thing that special from BlackBerry now is BB10 and physical keyboard with sensor on it.

BB10 is more or less dead... A pity for such an awesome OS, tho I've never used a BB10 device.

I still keep my Playbook tho... Still the best tablet in terms of multitasking and user friendly

Finally got my D50 today!!!!

Dumbass me.... Only when I got the phone I realised that it's on nano SIM! So, can't test the call or reception quality.

First impression was this phone is LIGHT! The back was grippy. A refreshing change on those smooth back on all phones out there.

Power on took quite a while. Then I was prompted for an update and I duly comply. As it updates, the phone heats up but nothing alarming. I know it's not gonna go KABOOM....

Then, it's set up time. My goodness! So many things to set-up.... I LOVE IT!!!

Tried the camera. Quality is passable but really struggle on low light condition. Pix came out dirty. But outdoor shots is decent. Maybe it's me not used to the phone yet, can't seem to figure out how to take a pano shot while holding the phone in landscape mode. Can only take pano shots in portrait mode??? Wierd. Many complained about the loc of the power button. I don't know but dbl tap to turn ON/OFF the screen works great. I only touched the physical button twice... Once for power up, once for power down. No issue for me.

I know many reviewers kept saying the D50 has a so-so spec. While I haven't put the phone under intense load ie play games, the phone performed well and smooth. FB, Twitters e-mails all buttery smooth, Didn't set up WhatsApp tho...

Now the phone is fully charged but I powered it down, Put it back in the box. Going off for an overseas assignment. Will only get a nano SIM when I'm back. Until then, can't give much more...

Oh by the way, the screen is quite good and the dual speakers are unbelievable! Played YouTube while the phone laid flat and the sound is so clear!

So far so good.... Onve I really use this phone, then I'll have a better idea on what it can handle/can't handle.

Awesome first impression. Looking forward for more updates from you soon. Im Still pondering wether to buy this or Priv.

U bought at Gem5 under which seller?

From G5 under MobileSolution. Packed nicely with bubble wraps but not in a sealed box. No issue with that, tho...

lets hope it got under 1k next february. need to replace my mi note 3 mediatek (ap).

it seemed that even bbos 10 still getting security updates?

Yup. 10.3.3 update is available.
