Anyone's waiting?

I will be the first one to get this once it is here

Depends on the price

This one would be great for the texters. I'm wondering about the specs though. Yes, price is an important factor, since this phone isn't rootable. But on the basis of "use it as it is", this one's skewed towards the heavy texters, and I would love just to grab one. LOL.

They better up the game on the Hub with this too.

oh boy, 18mp front, 8mp back, 3GB RAM +32GB ROM, Snapdragon 625

That makes it somewhat of a middle tiered phone (lower end?) So I hope the price reflects this.

Torch lovers had the Priv to play around with, now the Bold users should be tempted with this.

Imagine all that shortcuts useable on the keypads.

hold spacebar for camera, or hold alphabet this that for this that app, right on the spot.

By now using priv and cant wait to get this baby on my hand..

this is last phone from bb rite?

Still no news regarding the last phone from BlackBerry or is it already have, Priv?

This phone is DTEK70 made by TCL like DTEK50 and DTEK60.

TCL's new Blackberry Mercury

Actually they already made preview about it and expected to be launch bye end of feb..hope it will get into Msia by then..n hope the price is reasonable..

count me in... and if with SD6** series... I hope the price justifies the set too...

But on pricing, BB always gives me a shock... hmm...

Don't expect it will be below RM2K. Remember a keyboard phone always expensive than non-keyboard.
Hopefully it won't over RM2.4K.

Around 2K ++ ok lagi..but if start to touch 3K..that might need to think about it

used passport for 1 year plus.... quality of blackberry is awesome ! for the mercury im not sure is it still build with good quality material by TCL... China makers. hope its good as the previous blackberry models...

Judging from Passport SE official set, yup over RM3K. But hopefully won't over RM2.5K to gain potential buyers.
More hoping if telcos bring it to their plan

Hard to say, but so far seeing from DTEK60, pretty well-built phone though.

Liking it very much for a "last hurrah". If it comes with the same Moto Z Play's battery capacity and an unlocked bootloader, I'm all set for it.

You can keep dreaming about BlackBerry giving their phone with unlocked bootloader
BlackBerry is all about security.

Since changing from Passport to iPhone, you can not believe how much typo error i had makes. Can't wait to be back to physical keyboard. Initially thinking of buying Priv due to it's low price now, but the sluggish OS performance and below average front facing camera makes me want to wait for this Mercury device. Looking at both DTEK50 and DTEK60, overall hardware from TCL is great. I'm sure it will continue to translate in the Mercury device. I'm putting my bet now, the device will be named DTEK 70 😆

Launch date February 25.
"Distinctly Different"
Mobile World Congress

Any more leaks on mercury ? Hopefully it will uses 8 series processor as I'm sure the price for BB will not be cheap. If it uses 6 series, I hope the price justifies it...

Rumor specs:

Snapdragon 625 processor (running at 2.02GHz)
3GB of RAM,
32GB of storage,
4.5in HD display,
18MP rear camera - same sensor as Pixel
8MP selfie cam
and a 3,400mAh battery
Full feature capacitive keyboard
Android 7.0 with BB security injection and flavour

Dual sim or not?
