I don't care what others say, this is a functional phone that breaks the mold of today's crappy options and I'm glad it is finally here. Keyboards for life.

bb geek, 27 Feb 2017How about a BlackBerry KEYone+ with a 5" screen, 4gb ram an... moreFor its target market 3gb RAM is plenty, snapdragon 821 will only really show up in benchmarks nobody is buying this as a gaming machine. As to 5inch screen besides making device more cumbersome at 5 inches you actually get 4.5 inches no pesky pop up onscreen keyboard rubbish to spoil it.
Out of all the rleases at MWC this is my fave although Nokia 3310 is good no 3g means cannot buy it.
This is overpriced though it should be 399GBP here in UK.

Blackberry might have to come down in price tag at launch itself OR replace it's SoC to SD 820+ (still keeping price tag sane)
Moto G5+ will 'kill' this phone in market when it comes to pricing. It has same SoC, identical resolution (1080) on IPS LCD, nearly similar cam, both run nearly stock Android,both have fingerprint scanner,both have rapid charging.
Moto G has bigger screen when compared to BB, but battery capacity is 3000 mAh.
BB has security features from BB software, physical keyboard and 3500 mAh battery.
Sole factor of variation in front cam is not huge game changer.
But Moto G 5+ will be appx 1/3 the price of BB and shall be released in March 2017 ( a month earlier than BB). It would be insane to pay 3 times the price for just physical keyboard and few extra mAh of battery juice.
Security features are essential,but it's not that each and every buyer is working on a top secret mission.
Moto will literally gain upper hand due to established image of G family, even before BB enters the market. Plus there is an equally capable competitor in Xiaomi Note 4 (SD version).
I feel John Chen still can rethink the startegy and act fast.

Price might come down fast.
It is BB flagship device not a flagship device and I agree should be priced accordingly, chipset will be fine.

Non removeable battery, 4.5 inch display is a letdown. However the classic keyboard feel is a big plus for the phone. However, of late the android phones that have been launched by Blackberry are too premium in pricing which may not attract too many buyers are there are to many smartphones available for that price bracket from the likes of Samsung, Motorola, Upcoming Nokia series, LG and many more which offer a far better user interface / experience.

Great build, but I feel that they're repeating the same mistake by selling us a mid-range to upper range device with a premium price attached.

I was really excited about this phone because it's BB and I love the physical keyboard of them .But after seeing the specs I'm not happy .old version of snapdragon. No more colours.just 3gb ram.Then take a look at the price.

If this has an endurance rating of 90h plus from the GSMArena review test, I'll definitely grab this one, especially for $799AUD, I don't need a super high end chip anyway. I doubt I'll notice much of a performance difference coming from my HTC 10 anyway.

Nice replacement for my Classic. KEY One looks like a very good daily "workhorse" and that's exactly what I need. Well done BB!

physical keyboard is good(keep it up), touch is still not convenient. But Passport has better design
