I've read that this will come out in two types : running Android and BlackBerry 10. Looking forward to this device!

    Never had a blackberry, though i'd buy this without thinking twice! It looks so gorgeous and i absolutely appreciate the physical keyboard. I just hope it won't be too bulky.

      Not much can be said for now, I'll reserve my judgement until actual Blackberry Android is released.

            Handy user, 18 Jun 2015From failing to failingHere it is, the cause of our problems ladies and gentlemen.

            This person is why we have lookalike window panes lined with either fake gold and paper-thin aluminum. People like him are why we cannot tell the difference between a performing product and a flashy toy to show off to nobody but people who think of it as nonsensical babble.

            Handy User, tell us all how it feels to make the market a worse one? We went from HTC making decent sliders to making overheating gargantuan slabs, Apple went from quality materials to locked down ecosystem and Coke-Can 'magic', and Samsung only ever giving their lower to mid-range handsets an edge over their latest and greatest flagships.

            It's like only Windows Phone, BlackBerry, and Niche/Older Droids are fun anymore. When Ara finally comes out we won't have a bunch of yuppie wannabe-techie Hipsters that only ever play in one yard influencing a future of pocket computing. Unbelievable.

              Finally (if this is true) BlackBerry is issuing a decently spec'd device. If they can package it with a vanilla Android OS along with the google play store, there might just be some hope for the company.

                                The black one looks real sleek. Also just cover the keyboard on the black one with your hand and look at it again. It looks even more sleek.

                                      Do you know what? I like this phone, no matter what people say hardware keys still smash touchscreen keys and for that this is one very good looking phone. I might even switch from my iphone to this!

                                        So this is what the partnership with Samsung was about.
