CES 2017: BlackBerry Mercury hands-on

07 January 2017
BlackBerry is nothing short of a legend in the mobile realm. The brand easily matches the popularity of other titans, such as Motorola or Nokia and is still synonymous with quality and enhanced security. The latter has been the staple of the Canadian company's existence, mostly as a trusted enterprise communication solutions provider over the last few years.

            Q10 = fine. Needs a bigger screen.

              PensPal, 08 Jan 2017I think blackberry has been lacking basic marketing of any ... moreMarketing is one area BB is lacking! Building a good device is only job half done!

                  I hope TCL release Priv 2

                    Anonymous, 08 Jan 2017Sorry, just out of curiosity - what is 3T display like? Com... moreIt's a nice looking display. I'm not a fan of the sRGB mode, as the red channel is a bit much on the OnePlus 3/3T and so whites look too dirty and the screen looks just a bit too dull for my tastes. Blacks are deep, but only as deep as the OLED substrate is deep, which isn't actually as deep as the bezels! Power save on dark browsers is nice, though. My sister has an S7, and looking at them, you're not missing much.

                    Overall, I don't feel that AMOLED is as amazing as people say it is. A good FHD LCD screen with decently deep blacks and a good brightness (500 nits or higher) would suit me better. I really don't like the idea of burn-in, either.

                      They have an odd aspect ratio on the screen, but uses dedicated capacative buttons... why?
                      Use onscreen button, with a key-command to enable/disable full-screen mode. And doubble function keys on the keyboard that can act as the navigation keys in full-screen mode, but with that feature disabled when the buttons are shown on the screen.

                      Also I wish they had fitted some programmable keys on there, user programmable. great if they had e-ink displays embedded, to show the chosen symbol, but fine if not. Since I live in sweden I have 3 additional letter that I would have liked to been able to have dedicated keys for, even if they would not sit in the standard place. But it could also be usefull on a workphone, to have direct access to symbols that are often used in ones line of work.
                      Or for the hashtag and at symbols for people that are addicted to social media.
