A device is always named after certain traits. But here I don't see any catch to it. Looks like regular $300 brick, Hope blackberry has something innovative up its sleeve otherwise, God save the Queen!

I rather buy asus zenfone 3 zoom.
Same CPU, same size, bigger battery (5000 vs 4000), lots *better* camera, cheaper price

Nice back. I wonder if its soft touch with some grip.
I hate glass back phones and then a cover on it for better grip and protection.
The Samsung 8+ has is thin and lightweight until I put a pricey Samsung cover for it.

The only thing this has going for it is the battery, because at the 500 price point you can get better specc'd phones in terms of camera and soc.

This goes for all manufacturers: You make super boring designs! Slim bezel doesnt make up for it. God I miss the early 2000s design wise, when phones looked different, not ALL rectangular with oh so similar specs. Make an exciting design please. Like maybe a redesigned Nokia 7280 that phone was way ahead of its time.

Well gestures could be useful, or funny but for example here I can't get better guarantie from BB than I can get from Motorola? or Xiaomi? The same. And in few weeks we'll be able to buy the new Redmi Note 5, 4000 mAh, 630 or better, 5.5" , Oreo in the box or, if not, soon due to the amount of sales it'll has like Note 4, a real flagship for the mid-range that will come with improved cameras and a price tag rumored around 155 - 200 euros (183$ to 236$) Even if is a bit more in some versions, Xiaomi is going o sell it like cookies. Few time for BB and other brands to take a bit advantage, the legion of Redmi Note fans are awaiting, not looking in to this expensives ones.

Infinitely less unique and interesting than the keyone... welcome to the obsolescence of creating a mediocre phone that look and functions like just about every other smartphone out there... it's a major yawn...

For one, which flagship would die? Or would all? Majority who have bought a handset in the last 3 months won't be changing. They don't have the marketing budget nor distribution channels.

I doubt whether BlackBerry will ever be relevant again. Very disappointing design (especially the Front). Though there is something intriguing and curious about the new scrolling gestures. I am curious to know whether they are good.
Unfortunately, BlackBerry, like Nokia, lost the plot. Many many years ago.

The big 4000 mAh battery is a certain plus.
Sadly, it's the only real plus it has. The design is only mediocre (at least it's not ugly like the Pixel), and the 5.5" size is only mediocre as well.
The price of 500€ for a SD 625 only device is a massive rip-off, I doubt it will sell well. Now if they had a SD 835 for that price, it might become a popular flagship killer, but this way... The price should be 300€ at most, to have any notable success.

Anonymous, 14 Oct 2017Small phone = small productivity "Productuvity"? Who uses a cellphone for productivity; most who like the large screens use them for web browsing, watching movies, gaming, etc. Those of use who use their phones mainly for calling/texting with a bit of browsing as needed to check sports scores for example, much prefer compact phones. Unfortunately, most manufacturers ignore that segment of of the market.

Nice brick. Optimizing the space and design... I hope they don't forget mount the display properly this time being as expensive. It could be used as a hammer in a durability test. What a brick! With €499 for a mid-range with SD 625 and that size, at least, it should not heat a lot.
