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 confused.gif

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

Great!!! rclxms.gif

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! tongue.gif

Brightstar is killing BB.

Basically they're not interested to do anything on BB

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!

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.

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.

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