BlackBerry DTEK50

Go on Ebay. You can get almost anything there. Also , try crackberry website. If they don't sell it, someone on their forums will be able to tell you where to get one. Good luck.

My touchscreen crash, no respon. I want to replace but i dont know where i can buy U have recomeend. Please

Things need to improve in BlackBerry DTEX50 1. The battery drain so fast, just enough for around 8 hours. 2. 16GB internal storage is far behind enough for 2019 productivity apps. 3. Heat dissipation trough steel grill is good but it feel to the hand. 4. Storage slot can up to 2TB but it comes with a lot of technicality and skills to the successful install in.

i want buy a bb but i decided now i 'll buy a oneplus 6 .

BlackBerry DTEK50 has a serious issue with its battery being drained REALLY fast!

BeNellz

Had my dtek 50 for a few years, worked pretty good before but been having trouble lately, slow and glitch. Thought it was wearing out but reading these reviews sounds like they simply stopped updating the phone. Sorry to all of you if you just bought it now. Going to be getting a new phone myself at this point.

This phone is the Blackberry version of the Alcatel Idol 4. I personally like the Alcatel as it looks high end compared to this Blackberry. The battery really sucks on this phone as a lot of power is used to drive the sounds thru stereo speakers. The rest of it is not bad but no updates since Android 6.

Just replying to the question about the Z10 and the DTEK50, I used to have a Z10 and now have a DTEK50. The Z10 has a good screen, vibrant colours but is simply no match for the DTEK50 which is an Android phone and has many clever features. I actually can t think of anything negative to say about the DTEK50, I know that you could compare its specifications to other phones but it is a very nice phone .

Daztec50

If you want a good camera or even an average one,I would stay away, cannot updatesecurity software,heres me thinking this is the most secure phone! the screen is alrightand no lag detected, sometimes apps do not respind immediately but so far not a problem, I paid the right price for mine, anyone spending anymore than £100 will be looking to return it.

kh

hi, i am also a Z10 user and plan to buy dtek50. Is it really a lot of trouble when using it? Please compare with Z10. thank you

how update software cant update

Schteff

Blackberry is incompatible with a lot of apps. Most likely, the one that makes problem to you is Zedge. Just uninstall it, and you will be fine. If you don't have Zedge installed, google for other apps that can cause this problem. Ask me anything else if you need.

Dtek50

When restarting this phone theres a problem " it says Optimizing App 1 of 1 in my case it takes Ten Minutes before the fon can Operate Normally again. How to Fix this never Ending Scrolling. thank you or please Send Software Update to Fix this Problem.

Phone will not update, keeps showing some kind of error message and or verification fail. Speaker grilles get clogged with dust and lint right out of the box. Phone is fast and snappy though. Keep in mind you will be stuck on marshmallow forever. Can't believe they won't update this phone. LED notification light is actually the front flash for camera. You cannot adjust the color or Flash rate. You are stuck with their settings. I returned this phone within 24 hours

It IS normal (my friend has this phone and tells me it is)

I swear to God that I won't buy any BlackBerry phone ever again. No, I'm not new BB user, I have used bold, q5, priv, and now dtek50. And honestly, ever since they left BB OS, their device became trash. I thought "okay, maybe priv is bad because it was their 1st android phone", so I moved to dtek50 expecting something better. But no. It was no better at all. I mean, it is usable, but phones like this you can find for way less money. Cons: -1st of all, interface and user experience is nothing different comparing to other android phones, so forget old BlackBerry 7 or 10 interface. -Camera is bad. -Bugs... Bugs everywhere... You need to update phone? Well you will need to uninstall Google play services first. You want to restart device? Well here you go "optimising app 1 of 1" for like 1 hour... You want to scroll fb? Why not sudden crush. -Battery is sooo bad. -Charging lasts more than 2 hours...

I bought two blackberry dtek50 phones and after 6 months of using them I'm ready to say that THEY SUCK. I miss the crap out of my Samsung note 5, and Samsung 6s edge plus. The blackberry phone is slow, glitchy, and cheaply designed. The phone stinks from its hardware, to its software, to its inferior battery with charging problems. A cheap copycat phone from a dying company. Ive never had an iPhone, but I'm going back to my samsung.

Buy Blackberry DTEK60 Dual SIM Smartphone Also Knows as BlackBerry Neon 2 Comes with 5.5 inches IPS Display, Android OS v6.0 (Marshmallow), 21MP rear and 8MP front Camera with flash, 32GB internal Storage while 4GB RAM. The processor is Dual core 2.15 GHz and Dual core 1.6 Kryo based on new Snapdragon 820 chipset and Li-ion 3000 mAh battery.

bombinho

If you are used to BBOS10 then I would not touch the DTEK50. The Hub is well integrated and works most of the times. Just Google accounts do not seem to be able to get integrated well. Missing contacts from time to time an messages displayed double etc. made me using Google Mail for the Google account and the Hub for the main account. Picture password is still missing. And I have lost hope that I will ever see it on this phone. Other than that it is not a bad phone. I do not have issues with the battery as stated by other posters. Though that does not mean much as I still use my OS10 work horse as it does it all and the way you would expect it. That makes the DTEK50 just a test balloon for me which may end up as a toy at some point. Though the battery cannot get replaced easily, which could even make it a case for the recycling bin. Blackberry is concentrating on its core business though does not seem to be able to get the hub well integrated or picture password implemented though other phones use it. That leaves me puzzled as the core business was meant to be the software development. And especially there Blackberry seems not to get the expected grip on the subject.

Very nice smartphone with current updated features. The only concern is the poor, delicate screen. Easily breakable at a slight fall. My one month DTEK50 can't respond as screen cracked slightly at the lower edge. Can't believe there is no service centre, replacement screwn available in the market. Nice phone but now it's useless. So disappointed!

DTEK50 is a single sim device ... but a very good and value for money device good display.. Good maxx audio dual speakers loud enough, good design , And mainly lite weight device with all blackberry security feature on top. I rate it 8 out of 10

read somwhere about expandable memory on dtek50 upto 256, uses sim2 slot, please confirm if its a dual sim phone with hybrid sim 2 slot?

bombinho

I would be very surprised to find the feature being implemented in hardware but I am open to learn new things. The GPU is good enough for quite a number of games and moving a picture has been one of the very first features ever implemented in hardware. Scrolling works on viewers without any problems. I can not quite follow the logic. In the end it is simply displaying a grid of numbers on the background and finally checking the target area for presence and content of the text field. That the graphical part is working gets shown by certain third party apps mimicking this behaviour. The encryption part is working too, otherwise pattern should not work either.

Roonster111

Have just added 2 of these to the Company "fleet" and I have to say that I am very pleasantly surprised!!! Feels premium, looks premium, and so far there has been a surprisingly positive response from all who have come into contact with them. Also, the price.. with the current discount in place this really is very good value for money. Well done Blackberry!!

Anonymous

Unfortunately, only BlackBerry devices with higher end SoCs like PRIV and DTEK60 (SD808 and SD820) support Picture Password for BlackBerry Android.

bombinho

The DTEK50 is the only Android phone of BlackBerry that does not support the BlackBerry Picture Password. Which in accordance to BlackBerry is the most secure way to login. As well as from my experience. BlackBerry support flags safety concern in modern browsers as the company has problems to make it secure. So much to a company specialising in security??? Other than that it is a smartphone with Android and the BlackBerry software which sometimes can be confusing even for the software itself. But mostly working as expected.

It's a sbit device. I bought this device from Snapdeal and after using for a month device power key and volume key stopped working. When I contacted BB for support they said they can't help it coz I bought this from Snapdeal, so I contacted Snapdeal for help however they said it's more than a month so we can help you. So I invested 22 k and got a device that worth nothing. Do not buy this device as it is wastage of money.

love to hear from a iphone user..most cases BB users are rare, atleast in most peer groups..even in my office/friend circle i stand alone as the only BB addict..most other with either iphone/samsung, may be strange in my case,,however coming to this forum atleast gives pleasure on great reviews..my devices from BB curve/bold/z10 and now Dtek50..may be i never thought, neither bothered trying other brands..i loved the handy look of iphone6, although have thought of getting one before i landed with dtek50... but didnt want to miss my hub and BB as whole... May be the decision was right since i lov my dtek so much...its quite a great daily driver meeting all my business/proffesional needs..a decent battery, handy, impressive camera,,all in one..quite happy with almost 8 months user now..

This is a phone designed for selling in mass to corporations. If you are a casual user of smartphones: email, youtube, calls, text messaging, then you'll have no problems with this phone whatsoever. Blackberry's additional software is actually useful, and provides lots of information regarding the security of the phone. If you are a heavy phone user, get an external battery. Blackberry phones are designed to be bricked if you try to root it. If you are a gamer, then this device is clearly not designed for that.

Blackberry is known for productivity, security and corporate usage. If your expectations are of games and battery life then it's better to chose a gaming console ( for games) and Xiaomi Note 4 phone ( same SoC and massive battery) Hopefully this will help you.

BlackBerry rocks. I had several models for past 10 years. Would not change it for anything else. Ever. Never. BlackBerry fans know what I am talking about. My family has 4 phones, 4 different brands. So, my 3 family members have awesome phones, apparently. They laugh at me and my BB but: one dropped the phone - has broken screen, one has no pics flash anymore after kids dropped it, one has dead speakers already. All 3 phones about 1 year old. And my BB? Guess what? Dropped it million times (no protection case at all) and screen still looks like knew. I listen to music loud as loud as can be and still has great sound, pictures still great, love the SD option, 16GB phone but 10GB still free and phone is loaded. Battery life great (charging it at night only and I use this phone a lot). Had this phone for almost 3 years. Battery problems (like overheating) happened once and phone started acting. Bought battery for $40 and BB became a brand new phone. And I am only talking about BB Z10. I don't have a reason for new phone yet but if I decide to get one in the future it will be definitely BB AGAIN.

Pathetic phone..had to sell 1 day after I purchased..slow internet..rubbish customer service..went to 3 different places as advised for service centre and all the service centres have been shut down..amazing bb experience which I had in bold 3 has been rugged off..end of BlackBerry

BlackBerry should bring in phones less than 5in. Like Apple. The will sell like hot cakes. Most of the users will agree that handling above 5 inch phones are still a nuisance. Think about it BB.

I purchased a DTEK50 in October to replace my 1st-Gen MotoX. I find that the performance is good, the phone feels secure in my hand, and I don't find myself becoming frustrated with the performance at all. The battery-life is on par with my MotoX when it was new - that is to say it needs to be charged daily if it's actually being used. I added a 32G SD card, which the device encrypted and 'joined' with the internal memory without any tinkering from me. In all, I'm quite happy with this device and would recommend to those friends and family who use their mobile device similarly to me.

16Gb with removable SD card? Does it still a most secure phone if you to lose it? After some thought I now preferred a phone with internal memory, hope will see it soon from you, Blackberry.

Yes. Its good value for the spec. Excellent Build quality, Very Light weight, crystal clear display with all the advantages of running the Android platform. I like the DTEK50, its discreet (the first blackberry phone produced without the logo on the front. The branding on the back is embossed into the rubber-like backing but also discreet.) Its strong as well....I dropped mine from the first floor of my office down a flight of stairs, It hit the last stair and not a scratch.

heating during updating is normal as installing puts alot of stress on the cpu.and heat during charging is also normal as it has quick charge technology which uses higher voltage to charge the battery faster resulting in a littl more heat than normal chargers would produce.and about the camera it may get fixed in future updates

Special for Mr.Ankit. I think OK for the other features no increase significantly, but you're wrong about there is not 4G in there, there was LTE, Network name completely 4G LTE.

AnonD-615569

That would need more clarifications. It heats just in idle or with any particular use? if so, which app/process?. likewise while idle charging there should not be any heating unless using some heavy apps or process. Ideally for better battery life and for normal heating issues, i suggest you may follow the below, (which worked for me in having more juice.) >Keep your brightness to 30% >Disable Location >Turn off all background process >force stop those applications that shows battery usages even without usage >change your themes to pitch black(only if you are not concerned of using any wallpaper) The above should solve your issue with heating also, if any application is the culprit.

You may scipe down from top and adjust screen brightness. However am not sure if this alone would solve ur heating problem. Just check if any of your apps working background. if so you may close or even force stop for better results. I had been using my dtek50 since 4 months now and havent faced any issues, also to mention am not a gamer and would nt know how it reacts in gaming, however again on just surfing,youtube,fb, whatsup.it all works fine...

It heat because of the contrast of the screen if you decrise the contrast you will no have problem. You have to decrease less than 30%

Actually DTEK50 is a nice phone, and I really appreciate it but am having problem with sim 2 slot, I can't use it at the same time, is there any solution to that? If yes please help me out . Thanks.

If only blackberry listens and fix immediately the messaging part of dtek50 or the Messenger itself , there are times or most of the time it will miss to send text " sending " word doesnt go away it freezes dont know if the cause of the freeze is lack or low signal....needs FIX ASAP....

They should build an android with removable battery. I would definitely buy it since almost all the other brands are selling with non removable battery.

I have a dtek50. Please note that first off, it does have java. it is a great phone and the android blackberry makes it a wow to have. breaking barriers. The most secure phone. Unlike the iphone or samsung where users sign an agreement that all items on the phone belong to the companies and not you, blackberry does no such thing. if it is drizzling i can function without having to wipe the screen first because of its feature. i have had both an iphone and samsung and was a pain when a drop of water fell on its screen. the body is nice and slim although i have an anti-shock case on it which makes it thick.

Blackberry continues doing mistakes and deserves what happened to it. Business users are the ones interested in the textured back and top specs in a one hand form factor phone. Youth and other users are the ones interested in the back glass panel and low specs, big screen and affordable price. Blackberry did exactly the vice versa. No wonder both phones are gonna fail miserably.

Its the best android phone for the the money you spend. I've tried pretty much every android there is including Samsung, Sony and LG. Its not the h/w that makes this phone great - its the OS. BB brings the best out of android - the hub, keyboard, productivity tab, swipe shortcuts, tap to wake/sleep etc. I couldn't live without any of these features. That's why even though i liked the google pixel, I decided not to buy it as it doesn't have all those goodies.

What over priced it's the right price. You can't just secure phone for free. You need to do R&D to make android secure which is a highly insecure OS.

AnonD-127138

Well they made it secure by adding Blackberry security layers to the OS. Android is linux based OS while BB10 OS is too. Linux is a customizable OS so they embedded extra layers of security to the Android OS based on BB10.

I'm an American living in Canada and i really wanted this Canadian Company Blackberry to come back and be the "Trend Setter" they once wore And i'm still hopeful even with the news we just receive recently Hopefully this third party will revamp phone with the latest phone trends while still keeping the security factor!!

Blackberry DTEK and PRIV is the Android phone all apps performing very well but Why you want to stick to the blackberry.I will suggest to go for the other better option like Nexus 6P,Moto Z,or Samsung S7 / S7 edge , Samsung Note 5.If you are much concern about security then iPhone will the best choice.You may go for the iPhone 6s or newly launch iPhone 7 the best one.

When compare to other andriod mobiles in this range., Dtek50 is excellent mobile , I'm using this device past 20days I'm happy with my new BB

bb user

Really true man bb laged behind coz of this only

RR

My Z10 unexpectedly bricked (have 3 of them in the family)- So replaced mine with a new DTEK50 - since pretty much everything OS and accessory wise is Android or Apple - so figured I would have to move there eventually anyway. (Found many Apps I needed were never made for BB platform (Honeywell TC 2.0), and many more soon to be discontinued -i.e. What’s App, Etc.) Love the phone itself - Nothing bad to say about it - Excellent features, sound, build etc. - The only unforeseen with the hardware was that it uses a Nano Sim (smaller), not a Micro like the Z10 - so that caused a week’s extra delay once I had the phone, for my carrier to send me a Nano Sim. Oh, the other thing I will miss is that there is no Micro HDMI port - if that’s important to you (I found it useful on occasion) - in fact there are no ports other than the headphone jack, and the Micro USB Charge Port. What I am having difficulty with - is the learning curve to get accustomed to the Android OS (after BB OS10) - they should call it Google OS - because it seems riddled with Google with everything you try to use - Google Maps, Google Chrome, Google Pics, Google Drive, Etc. Etc. (Downloaded a .pdf, and it put it in Google drive, without me asking it to .. not used to that, but hopefully it can be changed somewhere in settings - I prefer it to go to my SD card Only. If its touted as the most secure SmartPhone - I sure don’t like Google getting a piece of it every time I try to use a function - Maybe that is just Android in General - as this is my first experience with it. Phone Interface is way different - not as seem-less or intuitive as BB10 for accessing contacts, adding new callers etc. (Maybe I just haven’t figured it out yet, but honestly, a little frustrating, and somewhat disappointing - I hoping that I’m missing something that will improve my experience there. Hub seems like it’s no longer the focal point - just another APP, so when accessing messages in the HUB - the Gmail APP keeps popping up, and makes things complicated vs. the BB10 OS experience. It also seems I get dual notifications for emails once for Gmail, and another for the Hub for each message (Different chime tones) - likely something to be corrected somewhere in settings. The thing is - I got a new phone to be able to conduct business and use as phone since mine bricked - and hadn’t planned on the challenge of having to learn all the quirks and quarks of a new OS to try to figure out how to simply make phone calls, and manage emails, files etc. That being said - put my 64GB SD card from my BB Z10 into the DTEK50, and it fits ok, just haven’t found an App to be able to access it yet, without a concern of it re-formatting my card, and me losing all the data??? - Of course that is going to take a little more time and research to figure it out. Hope this helps someone out there. Still glad I made the choice - and Love the phone itself - Pictures are not stunning - especially in low light - but at least functional for most purposes. Accessories are somewhat limited (like an Otterbox - NOT) - but you can find some accessories for the Alcatel Idol 4 - I guess which is basically what this phone is, with a few software tweaks from BB.

The smart money isn't on hardware any longer - it's on software and services. Hardware has hit a city now where it's acceptable across the board and isn't much of a differentiator.

I can see blackberry fans and cheerleaders biggin up this average device, this is not 2011, blackberry has lost the plot ages ago and can never get back it's mojo, top phone manufacturers keep getting better and better and new companies like Xiaomi keep on releasing cheaper phones with premium specs. This BlackBerry DTEKT50 or any other blackberry device stands no chance unless they wanna start selling their devices under $160 then maybe, they will get back a few customers that they have lost although I don't think the US senate will be on that list because they have dropped blackberry for good and will never look back.

Idk, most VPN's log and store data for resale, unless you're paying for a premium service that explicitly doesn't do that. It's more than just network data that requires encryption--the hardware on this phone is encrypted from the ground up, so even offline, accessing anything of value on the phone requires a passkey.

AnonD-577100

Have had this for about a week now, after bricking my iPhone 6. I've always had a soft spot for BlackBerry, and this latest iteration, while essentially pure Android with a few BB extras built-in, is a joy to use. Love the hardware, it's sleek, feels great in the hand, and has outstanding display, touch response, audio, and external controls. At this price point, I can run it without a case and not worry too much, whereas I had to baby the iPhone 6 and cover it's gorgeous design in third-party cases and screen protectors--however elegant, they still render the UX impure IMO. Loving Android, love the BlackBerry security features, and very much satisfied with the decision to jump ship, as it were, and pick up an Android BB for the next few months--contract renews in mid-November so I'll have a chance to see if the iPhone 7 is enough to lure me back. Battery life can be so-so, but portable packs are a dime a dozen these days, and I've never had an issue where I'm scrambling to find a charger and outlet cause it's on its last legs. iPhone on the other hand would jump from 27% to 0% and refuse to reboot, only to plug it in and see the capacity jump back to 35%. Bizarre and probably a unique circumstance. Final words, coming from an iPhone 6, this feels like an upgrade. Thanks BB.

I'll consider a BlackBerry phone secure when what is put on the phone, STAYS on the phone and only on the phone (ie. Google doesn't get a copy). The words "Android" and "Privacy" are mutually exclusive and BlackBerry shouldn't be promoting Android phones as being secure. From hackers, maybe yes. From Google, not a chance. Give me something like a Z10 with upgraded CPU/GPU etc.

Not necessarily, for example there are markets in where Blackberry still sells (and sell quite well) phones powered by BB OS6 and BB OS7. There are users who are paying, besides standard subscription, tens or hundreds of euros per month for a BIS or BES subscription. Hardware manufacturers refuse to use Windows because it is a commercial OS and Microsoft asks money for license. That and also the fact that Microsoft it's not giving too much change permissions for their OS. Android software is free and about anyone can use and customize as they wish. This is the main reason why Android is very poorly optimized and it is -1 when it comes to security.

A beautiful phone. Seeing through photos does not do this phone justice. The Blackberry suite of apps and UI make this phone a productivity powerhouse. Android navigation is fluid with the gestures. It plays pokemon GO with no problems. Battery life could be better but cmon it weighs 135g and these days you can carry a battery bank around. Loud speaker quality and loudness is better than most phones and most likely beats the HTC boom sounds speakers. This phone is worth the price u pay for it despite it not being a $1000 flagship phone. Is it better than the Alcatel Idol4? from a hardware standpoint no, but in terms of the software and level of detail Blackberry put into this phone it is the better buy.

It's Alcatel with a Blackberry touch (back cover and software). Hardware doesn't matter as much as what is on offer.

Have a look here and see how much "secure" are devices running Android. Let's not get drunk with H2O! What BlackBerry does with Priv and DTEK50 is pure marketing. They found this niche aka android powered devices and the are exploiting it to the max. Nothing wrong with that but: From a pure premium business terminals, BlackBerry came sow low and they are rebranding mediocre mid-range phone made by Alcatel.

True, but without the Google Play Services (which you cannot legally run outside Google certified Androids), you'll lose many of the most relevant Android apps... sure, it looks good in a spec-sheet, but in the end people will walk-away disappointed if they bought those devices thinking they could get *most* Android apps.

It has all the possible features that I wanted, except for the finger print sensors. That's not a big problem ' , a pattern would actually work but at least they could had increased the battery . 2610mah is seriously very low for this generation.

BB is unbeatable mobile... BlackBerry DTEK50 mobile features are good but internal memory is low...

Priv was android and it was the best Android phone out there. Sorry it still is.

Anonymous

This just a downgrade for Blackberry, I love Z10 with bb10 os but now they're using Android as their operating system which is unstable and alot of animation stutters, from a premium looking Z10, Z30, Z3 and Priv, they downgraded their self to a shape that looks like cheap phones do, why Blackberry.

Very nice piece of information, should have researched before commenting. It's a little bit thicker than the original Idol 4, but yeah... indeed a rebrand (it baffles me). I still see some lines that reminisce me the Nexus 4, much more than the original Alcatel (where silver frame somehow masks this).

Marius

Look again and you will discover that this phone is an Alcatel Idol 4 rebranded by BlackBerry. The major difference is that DTEK50 runs a (almost) stock version of Android without any bloatware inside.

Anonym

Am I the only one that looks to this phone and sees a 2016 "refresh" of the Nexus 4 design? It's a good design to follow though...

Why is it BB always overprice everything just seen this in UK for £299-315 GBP price range Its ridiculous, I thought this would be a £100 phone at the very best, they won't sell this I can see a huge price reduction coming on.

Not to mention apple and Samsung(after the s5) is made up of high quality

The real costs of production for an iPhone or Samsung flagship is somewhere around $300. What is the retail price for an Apple or Samsung flagship without subscription aka contract free? More than 800 euros! What is the retail price for a BlackBerry Passport, considered the flagship at the moment, contract free? Around 500 euros! How many android phones are exposed to malware? Over 900 Million Devices How many BlackBerry 10 devices are exposed to malware - NONE. Of course, never say never but chances to grab a virus on a BlackBerry 10 device are close to zero So, what are you trying to say by "people who love iphone and samsung phones and paying for high end design and specs not plastic phone"?

KKL

Phone specifications are good but internal memory is only 16gb.

drago

dosmatter how hard they try catch the others brands they way behind specs are from 3 years old and design also so bad and price is over 700 like always priv was something what shows how blackberry going down, they must start selling cheeper to get people cuz basic looks decent specs also phisical keybord and 700+ price not sounds great for people who love iphone and samsung phones and paying for high end design and specs not plastic phone with old hardware so one more time ,blackberry your time gone.....

AnonD-567492

I am waiting already DTEK 50 by pre-order. Battery bigger always better, but will see, chargers everywhere ( office, home, friends, car) and power bunk in set is good, but for sure bigger is better. I like BB and other phones for 1 sim card, I hate duals, do not need at all for me. Do not know why users are prefers removable battery, yeh, may be it is good, but with non-removable battery warranty is 2 years, and in real service of it cost really cheap, ( I paid in service for Sony Xperia Z3 to change battery to same original about 20 or 23 eur few weeks ago).

AnonD-567492

It's not true about IPhone. I had 4s, 5s ( 5s still have it like reserve phone), I have in family 6s now (wife's phone) and parallel mine Sony Z3, Z1 compact, Blackberry Classic (Q20), and had before lot of BBs devises like Bold9700, Torch, others. So about IPhone temporary lags are presents under heave work and heating, under lots of open pages and some apps. Lag is like slow break, don't know CPU, memory but present sure. Also all users in the world had a previous fresh lag because of buggy new version of IOS which they fix in a couple of days or week as I remember. The big problem of IPhone it is lasts for around 3 years +- in a best case - official info from Apple which is in open source and it is true. Because they are stop to support previous IOS or pre-previous. "old" phones like 4s, and even now 5s became work slowly under the newest IOS after upgrade it, and the shit is that user must upgrade it when connecting to the PC. I made the order of DTEK 50 for my mom, and personally waiting for BB Argon and Rome (Mercury), will decide which one to buy later.

AnonD-567485

And that is 100% true

The problems you mentioned are most of the time because of its half baked software. Blackberry is known for their software. Please stop saying bad things about blackberry if you never used one.

SoC should be SD650 at least

MARK S. IN TORONTO

Where have you been hiding? The first Blackberry Android is the high end Priv which came out last November. It has a faster 1.8 Ghertz processor and a slightly bigger screen at 5.4 inches. It is also a bottom slider, but i only use the touchscreen. The battery is much bigger but unlike my Z30, which will last until about 8 PM before it needs recharging on a heavy day, the Priv uses a lot more power as the screen is also wider too. I write at least 5 short articles a day plus search and forward web articles to a newspaper for about 3 hours a day, so it sucks up the juice like an iPhone. Instead of buying the newest DTEK50, wait until the Priv is on sale. New they were $700 in the U.S. and $900 in Canada. Some prices have been as low as $410 in the U.S. for the Priv and you are getting a much more powerful phone for close enough to make the extra price worthwhile. The Priv camera has a German lens with 18 Megapixels and dual flash. The DPI on the screen is about 4 times as many DPI as a big screen TV. The pictures are amazing, which is why i use my phone camera instead on my 24 megapixel hand held Samsung camera for the newspaper.

MARK

The battery isn't around 2000, it's 2610. Big difference. and it's an Adrino so there is very little battery drain compared to the other Blackberry Android Priv which has a larger 5.4 inch screen.

As long as BB maintain its Security theme, platform is no issue. But greatly doubt on that merging with Android. Market trend shift from dignity to fancy. So no wonder.

zahra98

Even if it was more attractive

Moto G competitor?

It needs to be priced similar to Moto G. No more than $200. Those slow A53 cores running at a max of 1.5GHz means it's lower midrange. Still it should provide ok battery life. However, the 2016 Samsung A8 will be so much faster with fast A57 cores running at 2.1GHz. Probably twice at fast!

And by the way do you want to compare and android or windows phone with the apple IOS??? I´m not an apple Fanboy by i can recognize a great phone when i see one. Did you ever seen an Iphone with lag??? That doesn't exists on Apple. Don´t you know that a phone that have removable battery has 6 months warranty and a non removable battery has 2 yeas warranty???? I gess NOT. Once again quit the drugs my friend... And read some Trustworthy Information and not what you see on Facebook or stupid conspiracy theory blogs.

BlackBerry has no problem to bring back BlackBerry10 OS. The problem is with developers, application developers like u know whatsapp is going to end support. Facebook already have end support.

Bro, it does not "look like idol 4" , IT IS ALCATET IDOL 4 - the same hardware, same shape, same specs, etc. They have changed the Alcatel logo with BlackBerry logo and the main difference is the fact that Neon is powered by an Android version customized by BlackBerry. We all agree that BlackBerry's Android offers a plus optimization and more secure security compared to the stock version of Android but this does not mean that we have a "new secure" phone from BlackBerry, because it is not a BlackBerry, it is just an Alcatel rebranded and customized by BlackBerry with a plus of security.

Yes it looks like an Alcatel phone, that's who's building phones for BlackBerry now. Yes BlackBerry is the most secure phone out there and if you think Samsung Knox is well it's pretty close because BlackBerry is the Security and Maker of Samsung Knox, for $299 it's a steal and if you think 16gbs isn't really good that's probably what BlackBerry was thinking when they added a sd card slot up to 2 tbs so if you think about it that DTEK50 and the Priv have the same amount of Storage space as an Xbox and that's a Plethora of Storage. To the people saying a Moto is the same price well go buy a Moto, I'm sure BlackBerry don't want you as a customer anyway. I'll stick to BlackBerry devices and not worry about my info getting leaked out.

AnonD-564768

I need security and the BlackBerry gives me that. My friends have other phones and always get hacked somehow and I've never been hacked while using a BlackBerry that's why I use the BlackBerry Priv now. The DTEK50 is well worth the asking price.
