VERY expansive price for an old fashion mobile If we are at 2005 it would be perfect and value for money BUT we are at 2015 and with half money everybody could buy much better's mobiles.
The end of Blackberry is near

Too lite on specs. Am afraid won't take much for the other company's like Samsung or Sony to release similar at a lower price. Both these companies have had successful phones with physical keyboards in the past.

AdamBoy64, 19 Dec 2014Seriously though.
- 1:1 Screen ratio is a pro for me. Ha... moreIt's not just "media consumption". Business care very little for that... but they do care about reading that report that comes attached in the email, reviewing the documentation someone posted in the intranet site and preparing for a meeting by reading all the related documentation (usually PDFs, sometimes PPTs and maybe XLS).
The advantage you claim is no longer there ever since tablets were invented, which are now the weapon of choice for the cases which require both great portability and more typing than reading.
You could always claim that physical keyboard is always good for SMS... but is that really the best argument? "Look, I have a Nokia Asha by Blackberry"?

- 1:1 Screen ratio is a pro for me. Hate screen rotation. Not so good for media consumption though.
- Specs are mainly important for Android users. BB OS will fly with those specifications.
- Thickness is not an issue - 10.2mm fits well in the hand.
- Physical keyboard. Brilliant. No matter what year it is, it doesn't make a physical keyboard any less useful.
- $450, yeah, price is a bit high.
- The OS being crap is simply not true.

AnonD-276088, 18 Dec 2014cons= -1:1 screen ratio -low specs including the adreno 2... moreI use BB as a business tool mainly, with a few photos even now and then and never use social media (have deleted all that crap), or play games (boring) so why would I need say Android with its chronic Google spyware. I make a lot of calls so reception is important for me. I am not wedded to social media rubbish (get a life guys) and my mobile is there to serve me not me serve the mobile or its software creators. So all this crap about specs is no more than marketing hype because regardless 99% people dont know the difference with their day to day experience. People rant on about new mobiles and their specs without any real knowledge of technical elements. In any case case why bother to buy any top shelf mobile only to pay a premium for little actual gain.

ms lelan, 18 Dec 2014with $450 I can buy a decent Lumia, Android, or iPhone 4s. iPhone 4s? Seriously? Does not deserve more than 100 bucks.

I wouldn't use this as my regular phone may be as a second phone along with a touch-screen android phone.
