Oh God, I hope it won't be some low end phone. It looks absolutely sterling and I hope it will be as good as it looks. I'm a bit sceptical about that price though, it seems really low. I wouldn't mind to pay bigger money for a new BB phone.

                cpu a little light, would have referred a 1.5 minimum with a 2gb RAM, although I am sure it will be fuctional. If BB are reading this please bring out two versions, one with power essentials.

                        AnonD-32667, 17 Feb 2014Z30, where were you?You must be kidding me, Z30? Too big and expensive phone with low res display? I have used big phones with HD display before and they are really bad for reading and web browsing. Better with Z10, nice size and nice price and much clearer display, as long as the battery can power it, which is not very long.

                                Android offers better experience with the same low price. Most of my friends who own BB now resort to Android (esp. samsung) or iphone.

                                    Well, there's some taxes and fees when it reaches in Jakarta, it could more than $200 about $250 I think.

                                        I honestly believe that BB needs something like this...people actually dont know about this new OS and they deem it to be like previous legacy OS..also Most of them dont know BB10 os doesnt require any BIS...it works on normal data plan or on wifi so that is a good thing...
                                        i also believe that with Z10 they could have reduced the price to such level and targeted it as entry level phone...selling at $150 pay as you go and $50 on contract so people find out what sort of phone it is
