BlackBerry Leap - User Reviews

  • Can use WhatsApp???

  • Good

  • good all

  • How's your experience with BlackBerry leap

  • yes im using whatsapp on it,,,,android apps works great

  • G it supports all apps like Skype gpay payzapp

  • Can I install whatsapp on it?

  • "BUY this phone in 2019. Android alternative. Works Great. Everything you need and nothing you don't. OS that works fantastic and leet as F." I agree . Android is an evil POS, an extra tentacle of google.

  • how sir

  • you can isntall android 4X

  • Good!

  • Do not buy this phone in 2018/2019. No app support. The OS is basically dead. Time to move onto Android or IOS Translation: BUY this phone in 2019. Android alternative. Works Great. Everything you need and nothing you don't. OS that works fantastic and leet as F.

  • If you want to, I mean no one is forcing you to do so or not so...

  • Do not buy this phone in 2018/2019. No app support. The OS is basically dead. Time to move onto Android or IOS

  • Should I buy a BB Leap in 2018

  • Do you feel Leap is better than Z30? Z30 works like a smooth machine! I feel Leap is like Z10

  • Hi I used BB Z30 for 3 years and I bought it second hand from ebay 2015 but I broke the screen on January 2018 and I used it with Broken not cracked scren for 8 months. Now I am going go buy BB leap .

  • Thank dear. I also like bb. And I ordered bb leap.. please say me more advantage of bb leap. And learn me how to use whatsapp in bb leap

  • I will to buy this phone in 2018 december ..... and is this good idea?

  • Kind your information. BB is not shutdown his OS. you can use BB launcher in any android phone. And in bb motion there is bb launcher . You won't believe I am going to purchase leap now. I hate android.

  • Always have been curious for this phone. The Z30 despite being older could smoke this phone oddly. At least on paper. Still would like to try this phone

  • will it support banking apps like hdfc and sbi

  • I think the apps if I mention (can't mention all because I didn't use BlackBerry OS again, but to share my thinking my opinion and my experience in high thinking), one of them is Gojek. Gojek is popular in Indonesia. If you are in Indonesia and the drivers, anyone of them using BlackBerry OS 10 phones? I say no, the most their phones are Android phone, because the Gojek apps itself concentrate for Android or iOS. I had ever once using BlackBerry Z10. Well, the performance was good, but when I would like to use Gojek, the Z10 was useless, couldn't use Gojek, said "no Google services" So, I back to Android at that time. Android phone meet my needs, I could use Gojek, I could use Grab (the Grab app is updated too), Skype, Akulaku (no BlackBerry OS 10 has Akulaku app in BlackBerry World. Akulaku is important for people don't have credit card but want to buy item by installment payment). And how about Kredivo? I never find Kredivo app in BlackBerry OS 10, but Kredivo is available in Android and iOS. Kredivo app is application for people who would like buy item by installment payment. So, in high thinking, people who use Android phone is not categorized he/she use the phone to install everything of apps, but also communication. Those apps are just for their help to meet their needs.

  • Right, not everybody like Android. But, in my opinion and high thinking in my many thinking, Android is not childish OS. Many, and much users from Indonesia use Android and they don't complaint for viruses vulnerable and they don't care if their Android phones vulnerable i viruses or not. I have use many Android phones, from Samsung Galaxy Ace 2, Galaxy Note II, LG Optimus G, Sony Xperia TX, Motorola RAZR XT910, Huawei P8lite, Xiaomi Redmi 2A, Xiaomi Mi 4c, Vivo V5, Motorola Z Play, LG G2, Xiaomi Redmi 5A, Vivo V5 Plus, no virus. The most people in my region are prefer Android, customize able, apps. Use Gojek, use Grab for delivering foods, for transportation. I have ever used BlackBerry Z10, I am Gojek user too and that BalckBerry OS can't help my need in using Gojek app. How does BlackBerry OS 10 solve users who use Gojek app? They choose Android for better Gojek app in using.

  • What necessary apps are not available? You use a phone only to install apps on it or for communication?!?

  • But not everybody likes this childish cheap OS, full of viruses android!

  • This phone... Is a disappointment

  • No, it is abandoned now and soon will be shutdown. Go for Android phone or BlackBerry Android phones.

  • agreed.....

  • The problem is BB OS is already obsolete in 2018. BB already moved to android. They will close their BB app store in 2019 and leave without any answer many customers who don`t like now to move to the childish, cheap, full of viruses android OS. The same made Microsoft with their Windows Phone OS. So unserious companies when people pay a lot of money to buy their devices!

  • not anymore whats-soup for any blackberry phone!Now U can throw away this shit OS!

  • BB Leap is the worst phone I've ever owned. Had 3 in the last 15 months. Keep having to get it fixed. Slow and easily freezes-up. Volume so back one can't hear the ringer and/or caller. Can't get money back after purchasing.

  • Download WhatsFixer from the Blackberry Appworld, start it and follow the screen instructions. Should work.

  • BlackBerry Leap for sure is the worst BB ever. It's a real disaster and waste of money. Very slow and nothing works well. Some necessary apps are not available and the available ones are super slow. I regretted buying this piece of crap big time. Please DO NOT make this mistake and DO NOT buy this good for nothing device.

  • How can i fix my blackberry leap? The problem is this "the camera cant be started"

  • How did you get Whatsapp 10 downloaded and installed? I have one of these phones from Sept 2015 and over last few months whatsapp not been possible as the device says it no longer supports whatsapp..... Any ideas what happening here (sorry for pun!!) or where I am going wrong?

  • Recently bought this phone. Great battery life, crisp display, not the greatest camera or the fastest cpu, but it gives you that elegant feel, not very expensive for a great phone. I had Google play installed in a snap, downloaded whatsapp10 and whatsapp10 fixer from blackberry world, and withing minutes I had whatsapp up and running at its prime. For all of those who comment negatively about this phone, talk is cheap, experience is what counts.

  • Hi there! I don't know if you will read this, but I wanted to respond anyway. I purchased the phone recently but there's a few things to consider. The battery drains very fast compared to recent phones, the lack of major apps and a slightly outdated Web browser. But if you can live with those it's a very smart and snappy little phone with great messaging and call quality. If your tired of Android or ios I'd say give it a go! You may just love it!

  • Should I buy leap in 2018?

  • Buying Leap in 2018, Is it worth a shot ? I dont prefer android will it help on that case ?

  • i have planned to buy a blackberry leap phone.but,before buying this phone ,i want to know something that whether it supports airtel 4G (or) not....

  • Whatsapp does work just download the Whatsapp fixer and then watsapp.

  • I can't sell this phone because of..... Blackberry ID I Customer service is I Canada I can't change it

  • I deactivated my Leap today after it couldn't download an Android app. Gave me an error code 'wrong operational token' which I couldn't find anywhere in YouTube or even online. I guess it was Blackberry-speak for 'please retire me.' I got a Huewai P10 instead: modern phone with good specs and a smashing camera. That'll be fun.

  • I can use whatapp..no problem

  • Go backdate means change to dec or. Nov 01 whats app will work.

  • yes, bb users watsapps had stop providing service in bb brands if u need to both go for bb keyone or upcoming models motion like that,wait for months unexpected models coming from bb. c u guys :)

  • WhatsApp support has ended

  • I have just purchased BlackBerry Leap I find it hardest phone. They intergrate their system with Android I sent picture to the phone and I can't find the photo there is no gallery for photos as there is on Android. Goodness knows how people use this phone.

  • please upxdate your mobile,the file have been 1.6gb

  • whats wrong with whatsapp on this phone

  • Now i am buying

  • It says right in the specs above which 4g frequencies it can use.

  • Which is better on this version android or blackberi OS and how is it on game

  • does it have flash and does it support 4g

  • Does this support 4g jio

  • one should buy Blackberry leap in 2017 ?

  • The standard Device Switch app does not work between the leap and the DTEK50

  • how do i transfer my contacts, app's and files from my old Blackberry leap to my new blackberry DTEK50? i do not want to use Google

  • Another whatsapp coment! I swear you guys get paid for that. I still use this OS for good reason. Always ahead of their time (to the uninformed) in capability. Would have been nice to see a 4 core touch at 2ghz on OS 10. BBM, PIN, BB Hub/Blend/Link and THE native Password Manager. Sorry I am a diehard!

  • It does work properly bt as from 31 december blackberry leap user got to switch to supported phones, what a waist of our monies! This is not fair people.

  • Does BlackBerry Leap Supports Whatsapp Properly?

  • how about the camera of the phone is it good compare to iphone 5s or not

  • Awful cellphone. The worst cellphone I have ever had. Doesn't cost a dime. DO NOT purchase this piece of crap. It's a total waste of money. Nothing works properly on this cellphone and way tooooo slow. Battery sucks. NOT recommended at all.

  • - Weak battery, drains very fast - Cannot drive standard 32 ohm headphones (way too quiet) - Slow processor, emails with lots of text shutter on screen - Very weak wi-fi antenna, worst of all BB phones probably - Phone is too big, sharp edges make it uncomfortable to hold - Overall very bad design, hate it from day 1, still using my old 9300

  • Yes, mine is even worse. BB cannot use radio properly, constantly transmitting & wasting battery, turn off cell radio and see for yourself how battery life dramatically improves. BB needs to review their design practices.

  • How is Bb Leap battery life, can it last 2 days on normal use, I am interested to buy this phone. Thanks Pta

  • will this phone support 4g in india

  • Upon reading a couple of these comments, non has stated about the battery draining issues... or is it just mine? This phone drains like crazy even if it's not in use. It drains around 30%-60% per day. I even use factory reset and it still has battery issues. This phone is almost 2 years old. This was my emergency phone so I didn't use it that much. The first year wad great but upon hitting 17 months, it starts to fail. I'm never buying another blackberry in the future. Stick with other phones.

  • I love the Leap a dream to text and email on, but I love the kijiji app and it doesn't download on the Leap and you are limited to what you can do on banking apps. Too bad other then that I would never own another phone.

  • Yep

  • my 1st blackberry handset was the curve 9300. I enjoyed using the device, its only shortfall used to be a weak battery. since I was on BIS and was usually Internet connected the battery only lasted 8 months and after that I had to buy a new battery. presently my curve is parked as her memory needs to be fixed. when I get those rands I am going to fix her and get her up and going. my second type blackberry is a 3g stl100 blackberry z10. I am satisfied with my z10 though I have heard a lot of complaints about it. but from this handset I miss th 4g and let conectivity. but still I like my handset and soon I will become an owner of the leap because I am poisoned with blackberry

  • I use mine as native as possible. No Android apps. Just Web apps. It doesn't drain my Leap's battery too. I actually use it as my hotspot to all my other BB10 devices. And it handles all the tasks with ease. The Leap has the best battery efficiency ratio amongst all BB10 devices. The looks is the best especially without a case. It looks modern and classy.

  • I liked the blackberry leap the first minute i saw it but found it to be too expensive as new and had my reservations about the blackberry 10 OS but now you can sideload Google Play Store I can get all my apps I previously used on android. Second hand ones are of a good price. bought one and I am very pleased Operates great love the 10.3.1 OS and since I installed Google Play Store I have a handset that looks great and functions to my requirements , Build quality is excellent Camera great ( as with other phones with good light ) Great home screen that you can have without the clutter of Icons . and lock screen with notifications showing is a great feature Overall great phone ( now with Google Play Store ) Best of both worlds

  • BlackBerry leap is nice product n unique, it looks great n has been buit decently wid nice grip n back texture, only prob wid BlackBerry is OS 10 which even does not support its own apps so sad for BlackBerry n especially for fans otherwise OS 10 was intresting,butone thing I can say that backBerry is killer smartphone maker when comes to its Design #Distinctlydifferent#NoBodylikethis

  • is this support jio sim?

  • The Leap is the sexiest BlackBerry ever. It's my daily driver as well. Battery efficiency is superb compared to other BB10 devices. Camera is excellent. Shoots sharp pics on a good day. I went to the park and took some panoramic shots with my Leap. And guess what? People were impressed when they saw the Leap shots compared to their iPhones 6/6s. Their iPhone shots were grainy and washed out. If you know how to use the Leap's camera properly, you can achieve some great photos from it.

  • Just have my Leap for a week now. I have been using almost all Blackberry devices, just switched from the Classic into the Leap and I must say the bigger screen is it ! The keyboard is also more touch responsive than other brands running on Android. It's a business phone indeed and I don't need any Android apps, even though they run quite well after testing e.g. "Navigator". So my opinion : Blackberry well done, but keep the OS10 alive and running and up to date, pls.

  • just install the android versions ... i use a lot of android apps in it

  • I thought so as well, but it's an easy fix. Just download APK files online and you can install pretty much any android apps out there. For YouTube I downloaded an android app called NewPipe which works better than the native one. Basically for whatever app you want from Android you can just download in the browser and install onto the phone. It's really beneficial as blackberry blocks most pop ups. I'd go as far as to say the Leap runs android apps better than budget android phones. Even android games run well.

  • Blackberry leap, like any other phones out there, is very reliable when it comes to calls and texts... not so much with the apps. Their facebook and youtube apps are sh*t. They literally just takes you to your browser. So what's the point of those apps? Their instagram is called insta10 and I would have to say that it is literally a steaming pile of shite. The blackberry OS are in short supply when it comes to their apps and I do mean short. the newer phones like the blackberry priv, dtek50 and so on, now have android OS. That was the best move they've done and that is because they are cutting off their own BlackBerry OS. I'm an app guy, I use facebook, instagram, youtube, etc om my daily life. BlackBerry OS doesn't even have a decent grabtaxi app. That is why I also have an android phone for my app needs. Seriously, don't buy this phone or the previous BlackBerry phones because you will regret it like I do.

  • It was extended until June 2017. But the "why" is still the same. WhatsApp regularly updates its back-end infrastructure to keep pace with evolving technology, avoid security failures, and pursue their own commercial interests. Every time the back-end infrastructure is updated, they have to either update all their apps to work with the new web APIs, or else keep the older APIs in place alongside the newer ones, so that older apps will continue working. This presents a potentially significant maintenance burden: 1) Keeping older back-ends in place means that every time they introduce new service enhancements, their overall infrastructure needs to be tested extra times, to ensure that those new changes gracefully scale back in a predictable way in all the older back-ends. It may also stifle innovation, because there may be push-back against introducing new concepts that cannot be adequately represented in apps that still rely on the older back-ends. 2) Updating all the apps to work with the newer back-ends is likely to require dedicated development effort for every mobile operating system they intend to support. That is just part of doing business, but there have to be enough customers using a given OS to justify spending time and money on supporting that OS. Blackberry 10 OS (and older) have had a consistently shrinking population of users for a long time now. And Blackberry itself is no longer using BB10 (or older) on any of its recent devices -- they are all running Android nowadays. WhatsApp doesn't think there are enough customers running BB10 (or older) anymore to be worthwhile maintaining their app for that OS anymore. So the app will not be receiving any updates to work with newer versions of the back-end infrastructure. Furthermore, looking across all the other mobile OSes whose apps also continue to rely on those older back-end services, there aren't enough customers running any of those older operating systems to justify the effort of continuing to keep those older back-ends running anymore. So the older back-ends will be taken offline, and all of those older versions of the app will also stop working at the same time.

  • I bought this phone last week and I am in love with everything except for the app store. The keyboard is phenomenal and the interface is so intuitive. This is my sidekick to my iPhone and itds perfect for that purpose. If anyone is interested in a more in depth view just leave a comment here. Other than that I'd recommend this as long as you aren't into apps (Android apps don't run well on BB10)

  • Amazing phone I've had it as a replacement of a Z10 which motherboard completely burnt. Great performance I've had it for two years and no regrets at all. I did buy my Z10 again and yep I was sceptical about BB7 cos troubles my daughter encountered with her BB Curve but then she persuaded me in buying a Z10 and I've been for last 4 years. I must say am a bit critical of the Android direction but then again will have to try it out to be more certain!

  • I give up on BlackBerry had them from the start used to be able to get help but not even that now i'll never buy another have a blackberry leap they did a update on Feb 1st now some apps won't work have had it

  • There are no more BlackBerry OS phones. I've been a loyal BlackBerry user for over 10 years. Since BlackBerry abandoned their OS, I've had to switch to iOS. Don't like it as much as BlackBerry but it works. BlackBerry is refocusing its efforts on Android. If I wanted an Android phone, I'll buy a Pixel

  • Bring your mobile to BlackBerry service centre. My BlackBerry Z10 also had. Then they did solve by 2 year manufacturers warranty. Try it

  • never ever ever ever

  • Please keep BB10. the rest is just mediocre in comparison.

  • When will the new BlackBerry os phone come out?

  • Yes you can use it till month june 2017

  • whats up app can be used in blackberry leap for next year 2017?

  • mine too

  • Almost 13 month,my bb leap still in great..no problem...camera,speaker,whatsapp,insta,bbm...al­l good

  • Camera doesn't work anymore. Seems to be an issue to a couple of blackberry models. Search the net and you'll find tons of it

  • "Camera can't be started" suddenly appeared when I'm about to take a selfie the other day. I researched about it and I was shocked to learn that there are a lot of blackberry users that are complaining about their phone's camera being faulty. The Blackberry Q5, Z10, Classic, Bold, Z3 and Leap seemed to be the most susceptible to suffer. I should have gotten myself the passport or the priv since I haven't read anything about them having camera issues.... well, not yet of course. tsk, too bad. My BB LeaP is just 14 months old and it's already useless. Well, I can still text, call, use the net but my most used app is Instagram so.. there you go. Will let a techie look at this but in the future, I won't be buying another blackberry until they sort this problem out.

  • My blackberry leap has the "Camera can't be started" sickness since yesterday. What the hell happened? I have never dropped it or splashed water unto it. The flashlight doesn't wotk too. I will never buy another blackberry ever again!

  • Buy the blackberry dtek50. Fully android run.Super easy to use and super fast. You will not have any issues with any apps.

  • The leap is not fully android run so you will find some apps will slowly stop working well. I just got the Detek50, fully android and so far pretty amazing

  • Yes

  • Yes...easy with waze....email also easy....all is moving in smooth...dont worry about email n waze...if u want to play game...don't buy this phone

  • ?!

  • Hi. Delighted to hear that the Blackberry leap works well with WAZE, this is one of the things I want it for! Is it good with most apps? Brilliant for email? Easy to type on?

  • Good day guys! Inwas wondering if upto date the side loading isnstill working or no? Just got this mobile today. Please do advise! Thank you!

  • whatsapp extend to june 30 2017

  • Why will some of the Blackberry phones not be supporting Whatsapp as from the 31st of December 2016?

  • finally leap supported jio sim for free data...but voice call not supported via BlackBerry dialler aur jio 4g voice.

  • i use waze in car,i get the location faster and easier with my bb leap but other guys use android stil gps cannot detect in car, they need put the fon outside the window....great bb leap in daily life..but if u want to be a gamer,bb is not the place,please go to android or iphone..bb is created to make life become easier n faster

  • yupp it is the special of blackberry...despite low in spec but the phone is fast..tha is the proof that bb put smart in the phone..not just call it smartphone..more over bb10 really fast

  • despite the spec just s4 pro but it really fast,u can reply email like reply message through bb hub,the securtiy for picture password is nice,thanks john chen

  • really good smartphone..also i can said smart in the phone,good featurws,fast in tasking,email is easier and browsing is superb..no need to worry about time consuming,i named this phone as fastphone

  • i like this phone very much,all is fast especially social tasking and browsing..hope john chen will release 10.3.3 earlier..so long in final stage niap

  • best phone ever used....low spec but super fast phone..for example..my brother use smsg note in car but cannot detect gps,need open the window and put it out to detect the gps..but i use leap...not need to do that...easier with bb leap

  • Superb BlackBerry leap...using it more than 6 month...but bad phone for games

  • I use this BlackBerry leap almost 1 year...i shocked with this phone..despite not high end spec but all things move very fast and long battery life..but this phone not good to play game,maybe the target is for business and social...I can said that bb10 software better than android..very fast..I can make multitasking easier with this phone..no regret to buy this phone....bb really smart in phone not just about smartphone..if u buy this phone for playing games..u will regret..but for social and business..it is great phone..u can read email very fast through BlackBerry hub,the browser also very fast

  • you can install whatsapp APK for android..then install waa fixer to fixed that

  • instead of bb leap, take bb dtek50.......u will not be embarrased........compare both the device, dtek50 is far better than leap.......u can use android whatsapp, if blackberry whatsapp gets disabled...

  • Hello frnds... Pls tell me iwould like to buy next month bb leap. But watsapp will not work from 2017. Iam confusing.... Pls give to me suggession.. Leap is good or not? If i buy watsapp is wotkin or not? Pls give fast reply frnds

  • Follow that step to install whatsapp

  • Try download wasap from android version..i think after december still available

  • good cemra good quality ......i love my phone.

  • how much can I get leap battery and touchpad ?

  • i dont know should i continue support blackberry because soon i will not be able to use whatsapp on it.

  • I must've had Leap for just a year & a bit as a result of a previous Z10 which died on me. So far it's been excellent and having downloaded BlackBerry Runtime For Android it meant that I'd install & uninstall my faved apps more effectively. The phone is smooth fast & reliable without a doubt. I can't fault it!

  • Very good phone...fast and smooth..bb10 really good os..despite leap low of specs but very smooth and fasf

  • we should all know why do we buy a phone...dont just buy a cuz of the name or who uses it.

  • nope it wont have whatsapp love.....

  • its a nca phone

  • excellent phone

  • Will leap access WhatsApp in 2017

  • why jio sim is not supporting in leap???

  • I tried but shareit is not working nor it has wifi hotspoy

  • Windows phone is the best... Go for windows phone...

  • 2016 You must look at current devices like the PRIV or DTEK50

  • Why leap?!

  • Which one did you buy and y?! i dont know wich one

  • Iphone 5s

  • I have this phone for over a year now. The phone is ok. It's not what others say, you know, "takes time to get used to" type of stuff. It's fairly easy to use. The biggest let down is the blackberry os. I have updated it to the latest but some apps crashes all of a sudden on a daily basis. If you like apps and have used an android phone or an iphone, stay far from blackberry. Their appstore is very limited. That is my only problem with the blackberry... if you consider that a problem, but if not, then this phone is ok. Not great. Just ok.

  • hello , i want to buy a phone . one my friend said buy Huawei honor 5x - one said buy iphone 5s - one said buy sumsung - and i had windows phone lumia 520 before this happened to me . so if someone can help me with this situation . i am all ear . and i am livin in Iran . tell me everything about 1-Speed 2-Games 3-Social apps 4-battery 5-does it worth at all 6-cpu is old or what thank you if someone helps me . i need this help so fast ,

  • xender also,

  • it supports share it and have wifi hotspot

  • does that mean all no dual sim brands to lose?

  • user friendly is a very relative term. it's quite a good phone.

  • awful cellphone. don't waste your money. very slow and not user-friendly at all.

  • No dual sim blackberry to lose

  • They are not ending support

  • they do on priv

  • Blackbery doesnt support Google play or apps requiring google framework, but you can install Other playstore Like amazon appstore or slideme or u can simply sideload apk's , transfer apk from computer to phone etc Google "alternatives to Google Play."

  • Go for iphone if you like apps and cant live without them otherwise go for Blackberry although both are outdated. Note facebook and its owned whatsapp have announced thast they will withraw their support from BB OS by the end of 2016.... but u can run FB on web and same for whatsapp web.

  • facebook and its owned whatsapp have announced thast they will withraw their support from BB OS by the end of 2016.... although it supports android apps

  • How this mobile works it's camera it's battery and does it support what's app

  • There is no monthly subs for BlackBerry 10

  • d machine is awesome!

  • Mmo6 is blocked or stolen

  • Except camera and lack of apps leap is much better than 5s

  • Which one will be best Blackberry leap or iphone 5s? Suggestion please....

  • Fantastic little Phone if you could change Battery. Get around 6 hrs on built in one that's why I stay away at present from Priv

  • Thank you.is it a problem?is it weak??

  • Adreno 225 - sent from blackberry leap

  • Leap,of course!

  • What is the gpu of leap? 305 or 225? I've seen both of them in different sites. Plz help

  • Hey everyone, I have a question. What is the gpu of leap? 305 or 225?

  • It's NOT the galaxy... You've got Blackberyy subscription! that's another story...

  • Z30

  • Pls tell me how to download playstore to the device,

  • Hey everyone, leap or Z30? Which one is better?

  • Almost useless. Applications run very slowly. Too much to tap. Screen frizzed sometime. Simcard gets blocked once in a while and need to trun off, pull out sim, turn on again.

  • I like my Leap so much that I bought stock in Blackberry itself :D

  • My company bought 20 units of the leap.We are very happy with them.Exceptional good battery life compared our previous galaxies.Phone is very durable and has a premium finnish.

  • which phone is more better in performance leap or z3?

  • In simple word, just go and buy

  • Leap is the best even the Camera is very awesome

  • Blackberry Leap is the best, i really like it its the best

  • I thing with out watsap ... And all its beter to go for 5s incrdable phn.

  • 5 Blackberrys so far. Right now l'm using Classic and Passport. Never ever any problems! Very practical devices with very stable OS. I use them a lot for phoning, texting, mailing, reading news - but I never play games on phones because I have no time for this. Battery lasts two days on normal use, one day on heavy use (Passport is a little bit better). I can't imagine for what else should I use my phones. I use other GPS devices when I need navigation. Would buy Blackberry again!

  • Just conect to BlackBerry link.. And reset your phone..

  • but of course the iPhone is about 3 times faster because the blackberry has a very old processor and graphics

  • I have had both phones, the iPhone 5s was a work phone and the leap is my personal phone. I would give the advantage to the iPhone on apps, but functionality goes to my BlackBerry. You are allowed to do more things at the same time (be on a call and surf the Web at the same time for example). The texting features of the BlackBerry are far superior. Since I work traveling to Mexico I would have to text in Spanish some times, with the iPhone I needed to switch the language whenever I wanted to text in a different language with the BlackBerry it detects what language I'm texting in and adapts to each text. I can even switch languages in the same text and the BlackBerry recognizes it.

  • Leap

  • Tjo my BlackBerry leap doesn't make or receive calls I have tried everything please help.

  • If u are talking about leap then then u have to take it to the nearest service center in this case. Otherwise try pressing alt+ shift+ del and it will do ur trick.

  • why my BlackBerry can not boot when I swetch on it said www.bberror..so how can I boot it

  • I have been using this for almost a year now since its release and trust me guys it's my soul now. I have used iPhone 5s, Samsung, htc and also Motorola. Leap stands out in all aspects. Yes u have to sacrifice some apps but those are not essential apps. This system is awesome. Multitasking beast this is and now I am scared that if I ha e to let go of this fone what will I land up with next??? Screen is a jewel with super display and keyboard is the best in the world. U will get addicted to this phone. Has a Millionaire look and everyone wants to know which fone I am using. Even iPhone users have shied away. Video and music is awesome too but the most attractive feature is Multitasking. My fone has not hanged once in the past year and this fone actually listens to you. It's not a smart fone it's actually the smartest fone with real intelligence. It reads you better than ur wife. For the given price this machine is a beast. Go for it blindly and you will never repent. In fact I have never reviewed any product I use anywhere but I felt I would do injustice to my best friend if I didn't review him....ooops I am talking about my leap. The leap of faith. Don't think just buy it. Super investment.

  • Specifications wise i would say leap. Though i haven't used one and im a z3 user.

  • My black Berry leap don't want to catch network it gives an error code MM#6

  • which will be better blackberry z3 or blackberry leap

  • the mobile is good but having only one problem with it, that it is available in single sim, I request to blackberry company to launch blackberry leap in dual sim with gorilla glass protection.

  • Leap,of course!

  • i phone 5s

  • Sorry I meant to post the previous review as an independent one no as a reply. Plus I agree with the guy the battery lasts about a day!

  • I really do not care about the other reviews let me give you an honest opinion. In a country where more than half the people use android and the richer, less sensible halves would spend half an lakh and buy tiny storage iPhones, this BlackBerry device offers a pleasant break and turns heads wherever I go. The OS has tiny tit bits that no other OS offers be it picture lock or tiny little things that people who review this phone without using it. It gives you all the information at your finger tips in one quick swipe or gesture. every single action can be done quickly and efficiently only if you know the tricks. And the phone never seems to stop surprising me with little bits of detail that BlackBerry has never missed out. They probably designed the OS with a 'what would I wanna see next point of view'. The OS also runs android apps and agreed not all android apps but just the few games, pedometers, utility apps etc that I need. Any app that does not need Google Play Services should run on the device. I play heavy games and also run multiple apps at the same time. It may lag once in a very long while but only for a fraction before resuming and I'm very very happy with it. The email on BlackBerry is the best I've ever ever worked with and only one thing seems to drive the phone ' simplicity and efficiency'. The Hub is a beautiful something where instead of swiping away notifications they're always there at all times when I wanna see them. I can see them all at once or category wise or unread ones only and what not. The typing experience is unmatched and I will never love another keyboard the way I do this phone's where I just swipe left on the keyboard to delete and press shortcuts like l t without the space and hit space to display the current time (8:54:36 AM) and million other shortcuts that I'm sure even I don't know fully. Moving on to the hardware I don't get what brick is being spoken about. See the pictures the design is beautiful. When the screen is sleeping the entire front is pitch black and you don't even see the demarcation between the screen and the bezel which makes it really attractive. The symbol itself has turned a few many heads and trust me. I have dropped this phone a million times from varied heights and nothing really happened. It works as great as new even today. Sorry for being a bit lengthy but honestly this is one of the best phones I've ever had and I've had good phones trust me. I am not only in love with it but I'm proud of it and flaunt it wherever I go. If you're thinking of buying this phone think about it.. you could be giving up being a part of the herd. You may give up some apps and you may get a lot of criticism. But when you're using the phone and blazing through all the tasks, it'll be worth it :)

  • you can download whatsapp on internet, use file apk. it's worked in my BB Z3.

  • Dude or however you before you comment about a device you dont know learn it first, you just making a fool of yourself.

  • Am also confused in this 2phones

  • Hiii im going to buy a phone but im confused in this 2phones iphone5s or blackberryleap please tell fast Your opinion is priceless for me. Thank you🙂

  • Which phone will be better leap or I phone 5s ...please answer me..

  • I read comments about bad battery? This phone has a great battery! The Z10 had a low power battery, but is nothing compared to this beast. Do not confuse them. This one can last easely two full days before getting empty. Also a pleasure to work with. Very stable, comparing to some (or even a lot) price related Android based devices. Can run most (>95%) Android apps without an issue. If you're looking for an affordable and very stable smartphone, don't look any further.

  • Kindly, dont buy this phone.. You may be tempted like me to get one.. But dont burn your pocket. It is an utter waste of money.. They give you access to android app store, but the apps will not work..Even skype doesnt work. BB fellows must be such a crack, to have deviced a software which does not have the necessary basic apps. Google maps will not work properly.And to top it all, when I tried to sell it through reglobe, the phone model is not displayed in their list.

  • If you need functionality and ability to us multiple basic platforms your better off going with an ancient flip phone then a blackberry device. I have the leap and it is a complete pathetic waste of money. I actually handed mine back in to cellular services at work convinced there was a problem with it because it's so slow, locks up and takes an eternity to send and receive. Don't bother looking at any kind of video because it locks up or won't play. The screen motion lags so badly words can't describe. Any phone and I mean absolutely ANY phone can out perform a blackberry. blackberry are made for the seriously elderly people that fear technology and want it to move as slowly as possible.. the internals of BlackBerry have not changed since early 2000. So if your looking for complete garbage that can't utilize any apps and the simplest functions cause it to jam then BlackBerry is for you..

  • It is a very good phone, but battery performence is not so impressive.

  • yes you can

  • Blackberry Leap: Beautiful mobile set but without whatsapp, its ZERO....

  • Can I use normal internet plans in leap..is it working without blackberry internet plans..

  • Pls my BlackBerry leap is not working with viber and imo. So pls wot can I do now

  • BB 10 is a best gesture OS. So does no need to have home and back icon just swipe it. Fltp the device to save power, mute call and many more. Have it will love it. Best OS ever use. Love BB10 forever. Lack of apps not a big issue for me. All social apps available here.

  • z30 or leap?why?

  • Blackberry 10 OS is best in the class.

  • This phone is beautiful, but i cannot understand why it does not have voice recorder.

  • Doer viber and imo works on blackberry leap ?

  • If you want to stay with BB OS10 then look for z30. Otherwise it's an Android based handset.

  • Phone support Android apk apps on this phone.. very fast phone and different experience..

  • how would you rate it?

  • leap have skype?

  • Ordered it and just got it today. So far I'm really impressed. It takes a little while to figure out a different operating system (only used to Android). It seems less glam oriented and more of a functionality aware os. Using it I'm a little shocked I never had a lot of these features on my other phones. It's snappy, very attractive design and features make up for not having "all the aps"

  • I USED BLACKBERRY 8520, BOLD ,Z10 3G ,Z10 4G and now ithink buy leap so what i can ??? pls suggest me pls wt i can ???? buy ????

  • Yes

  • is this available in Philippines?

  • Android.. if you use Whatsapp, Viber, Hike etc. For plane mailing - Blackberry is way ahead.

  • facebook is poor poor poor on this phone..app play store are also not to standart,cant download the google app.

  • lol

  • Hello. Good evening and compliments of the season to everyone out there. I bought my BlackBerry leap four days ago. I thought the battery last longer than other BlackBerry 10. Mine lasts for between 12 to 15 hours. Pls if anyone in this house uses BlackBerry leap should pls add me up on bbm 2C1F02DA. Thanks.

  • I bought mine about four days ago. D battery does not last for 2 days as u said. Mine last for up to 12 to 15 hours. Pls get back to me.

  • Yes share it works

  • where do you see that is is dual sim?

  • Dose Shareit work on it???

  • Dose viber work on it???

  • It's a dual sim or not

  • Whatsapp work very good and also you can use Blackberry messenger

  • Clash of clans does work on it, you can get it through snap (android marketplace) - I have th9 on my z30, works better than on both my Asus Android tablets, however, you save your progress to your computer, you cannot sync with google play or apple servers.

  • me too

  • Time to buy iphone 6s..

  • Dose clash of clan work on it???

  • I take this phone i have used very nice phone now i am using I phone 4S

  • Android apps do work, but some of them have small problems. For me it's OK. Whatsapp works fully. Wonderful Hub!

  • Yes it works

  • Yes it works

  • Does android apps work on it?

  • Can use whatapp,,,,?

  • i really want to buy this phone but previously i can not make calls on whatsapp or viber etc .... user of this phone plz let me know if this phone make calls easily on whatsapp? then surely i go with this phn

  • It actually depends on the os(Operating system)

  • Honestly this is an amazing phone by blackberry. Great battery 3days it's awesome and good sunligibility

  • does it support whatsapp or viber calls?

  • i have this phone and its features are super ama-zing!!!!!! i love to leap that's why i got the leap....." hahahahahahaha

  • Can I use my clash of clan id in my new bb Leap and how?

  • Well Well it is rumoured the next iphone will not have a back button. Just swipe up to minimise apps .The UI is gesture based.

  • You just haven't understood how to use BB10... Go back to android.

  • The the newest chipset it doesn't mean that the quality is poor. Every device has been engineered very carefully based on the function , fashion and the marketing point a view. I believe for proofing the quality of a device is not only looking to the specification only but we have to use it too, it's more objective.

  • This phone is the worst phone i've ever had, don't buy it. I think that the next words explain everything "no back button". It's amazing how Blackberry thought to build this phone. Buy it only if you want to feel frustrated.

  • Blackberry leap is 2015 phone with old 3 years cpu 2 core 1.5 gig s4 and poor display, huge bezels, big scandal for blackberry

  • Activate lift to wake in settings ,Advanced Interaction.

  • been using this phone since 20th october absolutely love it. I dont regret nothing but anyway i"ve always like blackberry and would recommend this device to anyone.most android games and apps work smooth and all that but never ever update and android app because it will never ever work again thats what i have noticed.and to those blackberry haters i have used many android devices and dont recommend them,i dont really have time to write why but yah i work in telecommunications and basically know stuff and android devices are the most easist when it comes to security e.g security code which is a no no but then again i also fix phones in my spare time. have a great day

  • Pros: - Cheap - Beautiful design - HQ camera - Very nice features and you'll get everything you want from a cellphone Cons: - Slow to run applications - Black screen freezes sometimes when want to wake it up. I need to swipe and press buttons a couple of times then it does all the actions together. Then I'll be able to work with it. - Hard to edit text you've already written. iPhone/iPad logic to edit text is way easier.

  • Precised number of apps...not clumsy like android... simply nice

  • Google play store just work for android,. Not work on blackberry and apple.inc

  • Outdated chipset, Snapdragon S4 Play? Come on Blackberry!

  • I have been using bb z10 mobile since 1 year.....i really love it n im sure ince u start using bb phones u cant adjust with other mobiles

  • No they don't need. When you going to write a review do r&d. It's help you. For your information Blackberry developing Samaubg's Knox. (“Working with BlackBerry allows us both to bring more compelling solutions to the enterprise,” said Injong Rhee, Executive Vice President of Enterprise Business, IT & Mobile Communications Division at Samsung Electronics. ) May be it'd help you to understand Blackberry not only a device maker like Apple and Samsung.

  • first of all let me tell you if you are a hardcore gamer and apps lover then Blackberry is not your stuff, but it's not mean that BB has not enough apps. Facebook to pinterest all apps available. I'd like to suggest you to buy a Leap.

  • i love all blackberry phones

  • You should know you eejit! Blackberry isn't just about making phones! They're more on software and management that's why they are surviving. If you do more research about them instead of making crappy idiotic comments, you'll have a better idea why they won't die as many have wanted them to. Imagine taking away iPhone from Apple, and the world of Apple lovers would crash to hell like no other. And that said, now you (should) know.

  • bb phone company is not serious they should learn from Samsung and Apple

  • Im started using BlackBerry since 2010 till now and im satisfied with it. Now im using z3 and q10 very happy for it can instal many app from android through 3rd parties app store or amazon app store, so far so good. Besides BlackBerry app world is now havin tons of popular apps make bb10 worth having.

  • Wow. Has a different phone and knows that this one is trash.

  • i dont know how and why blackberry company survives in the mobile market...

  • both are outdated and useless phone...i m using bb z10 its really a piece of trash..dont buy bb phones...

  • Which is best in Blackberry Product Blackberry leap or Blackberry z10

  • Luffy wake up Bro! We are în 2015! Your comment is not relevant. Not anymore!

  • Do not buy the leap or any blackberry product. I have used z10 for an year and even though OS experience is nice there are none of good apps and google play services doesnt work. You can install google play store but the apps run laggy when you compare to android phones. If you are interested in blackberry phones wait for the blackberry priv, it is seriously a nice phone.

  • no it does not share files via shareit

  • no it does not download google services,as the applications can be downloaded from Blackberry World App

  • Hello frnd!!!i hav an idea of buying BB leap..can u pls tell abt its internet usage...does it support al the apps of google services??n i hav some doubts regarding tat..if tat s cleard then no issue in buying

  • Does it supports share it r any other data tranfer apps

  • Z30 is nice phone

  • Agreed. In many part of the world a dual sim is a must. Different pricing plans around data/voice..spotty coverage in certain areas and LTE capabilities and coverage is all over the place. More and more handset carriers are offering dual sim for a eason. Yes, blackberry is missing out and late to the party again

  • I just recently got my Blackberry Leap and I love it, the OS is simply great, and now with the adition of Amazon market app I can get android apps installed, and if I need more a hard to find app I just go to aptoid. The hub gives me all I need as far as information from texts to alerts and emails. I also own an iphone, but I use my Blackberry more because of great battery life and it feels sturdy.

  • leap is better than Z10 even the battery backup.

  • no need to buy any different net pack, now BB phones are smart

  • Do i need a dfrnt net recharge for bb leap or i need a normal recharge ???

  • I suggest z10 (y)

  • hi .. I'm planning to buy blackberry handset I am a little bit confused either BB z10 or BB LEAP is it anyone recommend what's best?..

  • Blackberry leap is better phone bcoz its OS is very powerful so please buy this mobile phone

  • You can download it from Google Play if you know how to do it. Its not difficult.

  • Leap is best as compare to z30

  • Leap

  • Leap or Z30 which 1 is better pls suggest me??

  • just go to settings

  • This is the best black berry phone I have used so far, Infact I bought it twice coz I dropped the first one and lost the screen. No regrets

  • hey guys! can we install the other languages for typing text and so on??

  • Well that'utter bs. Blackberry for business people and busines people don't do dual sim?!!! WTF ? On what planet do you live? Have you been to Asia ?! I am a business person. For my business I spend 4 Months in Asia, 3 months in Europe and 3 months in the US every year and the rest in flights going to Oz or somewhere...For years I had in my daily bag 2 blackberry and a sony and a dual card phone...when sony made theirs dual I reduced to 2 phones in my purse and left the blackberry home. If blackberry took the plunge in making dual sim phone I would not need to stray to other brands. Simple as that. They are missing out a a good market share because of this.

  • Does it supports all apps specially OLA..? and all other apps plz tel me

  • Blackberry need to consider their cpu core count. With octa core in 2015, dual core are obsolete in 2015.

  • sorry should be OS update rather than app update

  • try doing an app update. i too use to have this problem on my z10, but after latest update it solve that problem

  • i love blackbeery

  • You just download the play store from the guys who have figured out how to get that working and then download it.. simple...

  • Dear Blackberry, I've been using your phone since so many years ago (BB Javelin was my first) until today. One day I hope you will release a high end phone in dual sim because many are now having 2 sims and unable to let go of 1 so carrying 2 phones everywhere is starting to feel troublesome. Thinking to switch to another OS with dual sim cards.

  • I had this phone a good time now it's a awesome phone

  • I don't think so, you can't find clash of clans on amazon appstore or BlackBerry store

  • very nice look pls given information on this handset

  • i think that the blackberry leap is just awesome

  • I think BlackBerry is designed for business. Business doesn't use dual SIM like Samsung that introduces dual SIM (Duos), and most of them are designed for level entry, low end type. It is different with BlackBerry.

  • Any BB handset having BB 10 as an OS, will work on any data service. It is no longer bound to BB services pack. Simple 2G or 3G packs will work on BB 10 Handsets.

  • Leap works on BES or BIS, anybody pl clarify

  • I am afan of blackberry products. I am using this phone I do not know when the date it introduced in UAE, since that time it is a companion of me. why you are not mentioning the sim type nano/ordinary? also why not introducing duel sim?

  • Why BB not producing Dual SIM version? Neither Z3 nor Leap. Plz BB listen to us & give us a monster piece like Z3 or Leap in Dual SIM. Even Sony & Nokia r jumped in Dual SIM version to look after requirement of competition then why not BlackBerry??? At least tell us that hope or not.

  • Couple of issues. Anybody facing issue while picking up the call? While we try to answer the call, it still vibrates for a couple of seconds till actually we hear th voice from other end. Rather than the vibration ending the moment we take the call, vibration continues for around 2-3 seconds. Also, is the screen/software lagging while dialing the call, once we click on the number, it takes a second or two to take it to the dialing screen though the process might have initiated at the back end.

  • BlackBerry Leap :) Best mobile phones.

  • Blackberry have 'Leaped' into the future with this oldskool classic.

  • I'm inlove with my bb leap.mwah mwah mwah

  • This phone can installing aplication or game android.

  • can i use clash of clan on this phone

  • I have always been I lover of apple phones until I give try Blackberryz3 I most say it a nice phone no regret for buying it.

  • its almost like the z3. but this one is much cool

  • take the leap, u wont regret. sometimes its about the usability of the phone, not what it packs. andriod lacks ease of access. you dont need 10000 apps to make a phone interesting, great camera as it takes superb night time pictures and videos. this phone is awesome. its well manageable as bb os is not data hungry like andriod. efficient to use. i

  • well, the leap is a pretty awesome device.... the battery is incredible. light user gets 25+ hours of battery.. the most i got out of my device is 31 hours. its well organized. who needs 1000 apps if they all want to update every week? its secure enough. 5'' HD screen y not? mixed users can get 15-25 hours on a single charge

  • i love my blackberry laep

  • Well I started with the BlackBerry 85 series went op to 93 after 98 then Z10 now Z3 next I am going to Leap. I love BlackBerry had problems in the past but still going strong with BB.

  • Not yet, I am still experiencing it. Read in CrackBerry websites forums, many users (Z10, Z30) experience the same too.

  • this issue has been resolved in OS10.3.2

  • ive been using blackberry phones for as long as i can remember! im basically a blackberry monk or something! lol! blackberry phones are for very careful people! so if you know you're not careful with your devices, i suggest you get any phone with fiber glass casings lol! the leap is a very good phone, the only thing i dont like about it is the screen! i wish it had a super amoled with corning gorilla glass protection! im using a q10 currently!

  • real bb expert! lol

  • Ditto! Z30 for the win!!!

  • hi guys! just wanna know if this phone can play CLASH OF CLAN? hihi im just a COC adict ya know. but, im very much interested on buying this phone :) it feels like this phone is awesome and simpe :) im too tired having an android OS. this time, ill make a change.

  • I use BlackBerry Curve 9830 and now I use BlackBerry Q10. But what was BlackBerry disappointed me is Khmer unicode. I am Cambodian, so we want BlackBerry to add Khmer Unicode to the phone. This is my second time to use BlackBerry. If it is still Problem Then no Long Use Blackberry Handset...

  • Of course. you can use Watsapp

  • Please advise , which one should i buy.. HTC 820 or Blackberry Leap

  • yes you can

  • i bought blackberry leap it is the best

  • Never buy a Blackberry aka Crapberry. Get something like an iPhone or Windows phone instead.

  • can we use whats app on blackberry leap?

  • I bought a z30 in December 2014 but got spoilt in July 2015; now am just so scared of buying a blackberry again and am also confused on which to buy between a blackberry z30 and blackberry leap. Please i need your opinion pals. thanks

  • Do you face problems or something annoying slow make a call, receive incoming calls and check balance on your BlackBerry Z10, Z30 or Leap like my Z10? I uploaded video that shows the lag like I experienced.

  • I agree with you Dan. I use my BlackBerry Z3 for calls, email, browsing, and some basic apps and it works for me. What I love about BlackBerry is the hub. We can easily manage all sort of messages from 1 centre. You dont need to tap open every apps to view new message come in. The way notifications come in also very neat and professional compared to androids which you can find all sorts of notifications icons queuing on top of screen and it looks crowded and unmanaged. BlackBerry is a business tools and profesional smartphone. It manage background running apps easily, either you minimize the apps or close it easily. I have been using Z3 for more than 1 year, and I dont face any 'OS hang' issue at all. I will move to BlackBerry leap for its camera spec and hope BlackBerry will improve the making and answering call lags. This is what business smartphone is for, to make and receive calls. Lagging issur should not be there. Almost all the classic unit do not have this problem. Hope I will get chances to use passport in near future.

  • Yeah me too if I have to stay away from Amazon apps I do

  • Agree with you buddy :)

  • I love reading comments about who is better, android, iphone.... The first question you need to answer is what are your needs? business + security = BB, sorry but even the president of the US cant use anything because of security. You want multimedia, you want key board, you want to connect to TV, Gaming.... they you choose the phone that matches your needs. you cant tell everyone that a mini can be used to move fridges around and you cant tell a guy with a Semi truck just go to a grocery store. Second, specs of the box... yes you can compare cpu, screens....... but remember, its the hardware that goes with OS. Android and Iphone are getting hungrier because we created a demand for more apps and games. but when you look at BB, he uses Qnix behind BB10, Qnix has been around for more than 20 years and I remember it as an IT person that we used to boot it up on one diskette and voila, multitask, multiuser from a diskette. they were the only one to do true multitask with 640 k of memory. I say that if we cut come slack instead of judging BB10 from the old BB phones that everybody learned to hate, BB10 with Qnix will get way better and trust me, Qnix will impress alot with time. So first go with your needs first then it makes it easier to find your device. my 2 cents :-) For me I am trying to see when the Z50 gets out, since I need security for business and the specs looks amazing. Have a great day all!!

  • Did you experience the slow make a call, slow/lag in receiving incoming calls and check balance in your BlackBerry Leap?

  • BB can support android apps also, so its different from Symbian, and symbian is a shit now a days, so atleast dont compare bb with it

  • Yes, lag, and many apps don't support. I almost don't install apps from Amazon. Most apps I get from blackBerry World, other apps like Opera Mini, ePSXe, I took from other web that provide .apk I think people should aware, BlackBerry 10 is not Android.

  • To be honest the Android apps are very laggy and buggy and crash a lot on the Blackberry platform from Amazon. Most work fine, then others are slow and crash. The Blackberry world apps run very smooth. I bought the M9 HTC and LG G4 and eh while performance is better, the android apps tend to be very buggy and laggy however smoother on droids like the HTC or LG compared to the Blackberry droid apps. That being said productivity for me, mostly for school on the Blackberry using the Remember App (synced with Evernote) gets the job done alongside quick messaging on the Hub make Blackberry Z30 one awesome machine. I find it better than the droids and slightly better than the iPhone. Its cool to have some advantage of using some droid apps on the BB but ultimately you wont get it all

  • Be practical. Spend your money wisely.

  • BB or Symbian are both the same. What makes it different? It is how people find it amazing. Most people say I love BB, most people say it sucks, most people say it's better than nothing but the truth about it it's all about business. They keep on inventing phones that let people spend money for what? Innovation? But all smartphones can browse Internet, make a call, take picture and even do texting.

  • Why? How good?

  • Good phone from BB

  • Conceived as a more affordable alternative to the Z30, the BlackBerry Leap doesn't really manage to exceed the sum of its parts. On the other hand losing the AMOLED panel for a traditional LCD screen and employing the older Adreno 225, allowed the new handset to bring the price down and bring much of the same experience at a more attractive price point. Despite the promises made, the BlackBerry Leap is far from ideal mid-ranger when it comes to running Android apps - it's got both limited compatibility and sub-par performance for the class. So if you are of the app-crazed type that thinks this might be a great chance to get the best of both worlds you should move along - there's nothing for you to see here. This are final and conclusion words of the GSMArena team concerning the said 'phone, "leap"

  • Z10 can receive both Wireless N and ac bands.

  • For people concern for security and business, I think BlackBerry smartphones will suit for them. For me, although I prefer Android, I am using BlackBerry Z10, it is better than Lumia Windows Phone. BlackBerry 10 and Android are good for browsing internet, copy paste sentences or paragraphs in articles in a browser (Symbian smartphones not comfortable do this), Apps in Android are up to date. BlackBerry updates BBM and WhatsApp, even teh CEO stated they would not sell many smartphones again, BlackBerry is still a live. Symbian is shutdown now, shutdown by the CEO. For BBM, I like this app like I like WhatsApp. BBM is good for chatting, send messages, can replace SMS conventional. If no all people use BlackBerry or use BBM, they can install WhatsApp in their Android or iOS.

  • why is the people like blackberry os or blackberry messenger? it is the worst phone. i prefer symbian os to bb os

  • Lol andreno 225 and dual core :D :D :D

  • lol you are funny :D BB OS is the biggest shit ever :D

  • I owned phone with IOS, android, windows 8 yes all of them are good but BB OS is still the best ever. I don't know with you guys but based on my experienced BB OS is simply amazing. Thumbs up!

  • Same quality of camera.

  • Seems the reviews tell a different story?

  • The problem is the phones today are still not offering features found on the Nokia N8.

  • why?

  • This is my 3rd day of blackberry leap...its v.nice and usefull.completely business phone..since 3 days I dint touch my laptop for mailing n browsing...all work done in just leap...and battery life no any cell can be compared..continuously I used internet for a day n kept data on till night battry yet 20% left...guys dnt think much go for BB LEAP..u wont disappoint..

  • Which mobile camera is better z30 or leap

  • Awesome phone..awesome OS ... Unique operating system with friendly sharing facility... Fed up of android gadgets.

  • love blackberry handset.

  • Overall BlackBerry 10 is good. I am Z10 user, overall is good. You can add Android apk to your BlackBerry device. Yes, some apps won't work in BlackBerry, but it is OK if you're not gamer and apps lover much.

  • dear all, don't compare BlackBerry operating system to android. RIM wants to provide more features in their phones and supporting of andoird apps is one of them.

  • Hi guys I want to buy this mobile the OS of this mobile is good? pls suggest

  • Guys u accepted windows but can u share in this how worst experience of FB n WhatsApp in windows??? No na...and u accepted MAC (apple) can any tell experience of Bluetooth and usb connectivity for sharing files??? Apart from these all all mobile Os has some cons n pros...but among all BB is number one OS.cos I was used to change cell every 2 month since long...but since I using leap I didn't fade up and wonderfull experience of BBM and mail is extraordinary ever...leap is for those who need to be work done on time..

  • Dear all, If we try to compare everything with android then its not done...why you trying to pull ur android apps to your BB? BB is complete business phones..BB, android, mac, windows have all their own different world of apps, like windows has cortona, android has gplus BB has BBM and mail servers.... When we are entering in different world we have to learn their life activities not to bring our lunch box their yar...cos you lunch box doesn't give taste there....

  • Love Blackberry but cant argue with you there.. my iPhone 5S is still my main phone.

  • "i can play flight simulator games with the accelerometer and dats the best part" Thats just so sad to say, i have been able to play on my androids for years. This product is junk.,

  • The problem with BB is it is still lagging way back with the competition. Every body is moving towards or are at 2 MGHZ processor and a shooter with 16 MPX to begin with . BB is still stuck trying to fight models like the Galaxy S3, Apple Ip4 and the HTC vivid which is like 3 years ago. Worst of all..still no android. And I am sure the price on this unit will be 500 $ and more. Sorry BB.....you are not even playing catching up

  • Leap is way more updated than Z10. Z10 rocks but the Leap is an upgrade for sure. You get the z10 plus the new better features. I recommend if you can, go for it and get the Leap

  • Is it worth switching from Z10 to Leap? Is there a difference? Please help!! Thanks

  • I bought the Z3 last year November and now just got the Leap! Leap is a great improvement between the 2 and im loving it. i can play flight simulator games with the accelerometer and dats the best part. so much value for such an affordable price...

  • Just want to say bb default browser has backward and forward features. I use it all the time, thanks

  • Not yet, stay tune in www.crackberry.com

  • Yes you're right, if user would more apps, he/she can choose Android, I agree, but there is thing I donkt agree with your sentence. You said previously, BlackBerry apps are good. Now my question, why: 1. Why WeChat doesn't good as good as Android version? The reviews only 3 stars, the WeChat for BlackBerry even no stickers and the notification doesn't allow instant preview like WeChat (doesn't appear message or notification in the top of notification bar like WhatsApp)? Skype is also the same. Android version is more update than BlackBerry version. 2. Facebook is good, but it can't confirm people who join the group I had become admin. Android Facebook can do this. BlackBerry Facebook? It should be fixed and updated again. 3. Default browser has no back and forward option? Chrome in Android had those options If we talk about apps, BlackBerry has less apps compared Apple and Android. Why does no developer make Opera Mini built-in for BlackBerry? Does it because developer prefer more popular operating system? Does developer think BlackBerry will shutdown like Symbian, so he/she better choose iOS and Android?

  • I believe you. I thought the Classic was a slightly larger heavier Q10 (I was not fond of the Q10) but its an identity of its own! Classic feels awesome. The Z30 feels very different from the Z10, and the Leap is a different phone from Z10 and Z30 they do not feel like copies man! :D Love my Z10 but Z30, Classic, and Leap are all different from one another!

  • Having seen this small wonder in flesh it completely changed the way I was thinking about Blackberry Leap. It had many similarities of the Z10 and Z3. But after meeting it in flesh it is a different handset of its own built. Now I am thinking of owning it though I had thought of upgrading to the Classic. Boy I am so confused

  • you peeps need to get to the point about phone being in question.

  • I am the fan of OLED display in mobiles... Z30 has oled display but its old handset..if you go for leap on price tag of 20k at least it should have given amoled display..any can think that what we are getting by paying 20k..and one more thing that BB OS is already good compared to other OS's like windows and MAC but do not know why BB 10 allowing user to use android apps. It doesn't suits. I mean they are already good in their own is and apps. Suppose any android user wan any app he has to go for android phone only. Only BB fan has to go for BB phone...

  • Dear friends shall we used IMO on this phone?please tell me.

  • any update about blackberry venice, i'm super excited about it

  • Hi I would like to know between the samsung A5 and the BB Leap which is a better phone

  • You can get a replacement battery and replace it yourself. The joy of removable batteries. Bring it back bb.

  • Professional feel. You can rely on Blackberry hardware close to 5 years.

  • I used my Blackberry Z10 from Summer of 2013 until December 2014. This phone is awesome. Had to bench it because the battery eventually became too old, prior to that I used the iPhone 4S from may 2012 until July 2013, then the Z10, now the 5S as of December 2015. The Z10 is smooth and I love the music player and hardware keys. It is easy to type in its keyboard, and the screen is so smooth and responsive. It is multi task at its best. My favorite app is Remember. Love doing my homework in that alongside Evernote. It is not as cool on the iPhone as it is on the Blackberry.. and wish iPhone had Remember. Z10 has been one of my main player phones period!!

  • Gadgetpunk - Hehe actually my main phone for work and family is my iPhone 5S. Simply for the app and media support and battery durability. Believe it or not, while I use the Z30 a lot specially for games and videos, the Classic is my main Blackberry. It feels so awesome just typing on that keyboard. I used to have a Blackberry Torch but it became damaged. I do however, have an army of Blackberry 10 devices hehe. All I am missing is the Passport and the Leap. My classic handles music very well as well as any typing I feel liek doing

  • RI8,,,,it should be effort able to salaried person

  • Hi Chan Me too dying to know that but I trust that soon it is going to hit the shelves of our networks retailers and Vodacom is going to be the first dealer to sell this repackaged Blackberry Z10.

  • Hi Sorry to hear that. I am the owner of a full touch Blackberry Z10. It is such charm. After it has been upgrade to OS 10.3 it is even better than the Androids handsets out there. My handset feels solid and has weight. To me that means premium products were used when assembling my Blackberry Z10. The only thing it lacks is being water proof. Your Leap is just perfect, trust me it is you who do not understand it. If my Z10 is such a fine machine the LEAP must be even finner

  • Congratulations I wish I were you. I think you have all the reasons why you own these handsets. But I can tell the Z30 is the most you use out of them all. Me I am owning the Blackberry Z10 STL-100 and the Blackberry Curve 9300. I am looking forward to building an empire of Blackberries great smartphones

  • Two thumbs up to this phone. Isnt it amazing? AMAZING! isnt it surprising? SURPRISING. Go for this, before you are out of stock neggas.

  • I am experiencing the same problem, have you found a solution besides using the earphones?

  • The specs are almost identical, but there are slight differences where the Z30 has the upper hand (processor, wi-fi bands to name a couple)

  • Z30 or Leap

  • BECAUSE lastly i bought lenovo A7000 which was like a heater and could not able to talk even for 5minutes and; SECONDLY can anyone tell me Where should i buy this phone flipkart amazon or local shop

  • hello guys i am planning to buy this phone but i have questions to ask. first is that: is there any heating issue while using 3G MODE BECAUSE

  • guys can you tell me where can i buy this mobile in Egypt, Cairo or Alexandria?

  • Camera Sensor is awesome. I have BB Z10 which takes good pictures. Especially macro ones are terrfic and the detailing is great. Cant compare any with this. Go for it !

  • Guys plz tell me about camera performance

  • then what is use of blackberry brand

  • Blackberry has it's own emoji keyboard but I notice that on What's App it has the same emojis that the iPhone has (minus the racist (just kidding) skin color tones of the emojis lol)

  • check it in your call setting menu.. try to increase volume and put some equalizer in in such as Boost BASS or TREble

  • Does it support emoji keyboard

  • I have an iPhone 5S, Blackberry Z10, Z30, Q10, and now the Classic. Now I am SO tempted to get the Leap just for kicks hehe.

  • i bought my blackberry leap one week ago. I was pretty happy with the phone's design and its battery performance touch pad, virtual key board etc. But i have noticed one serious issue i.e, Phone call volume. I have to use ear phone while attending the call since am not able to hear the other person clearly. Please do let me know if anyone is facing the same problem ... :(

  • Why BB too expensive...? I hope will be less the price and affordable for middle salary range..

  • but my leap was the best phone ever used.none of ur complaints r true i feel because leap is better in every form

  • yes it is just like all the bb

  • Is it a good for gift?Cause Blackberry seem not popular now.

  • i'd would be great to update my BB z3 ^_^

  • yes

  • I bought blackberry leap 3 weeks ago, i used it for 10 days. It has an issue that while switching on and off mobile it shows white shade on notification place

  • Ann ..i like the way u commented back on him..u were right with the question..

  • what a great phone been using it for a month.This phone smokes all the high end droids and iPhones when it comes to productivity ..Not forgetting its huge battery that last.I no longer carry a charger on me to charge it during the day .Very durable .Nice back cover for grip.Phone has premium materials .Good buy

  • Got my Blackberry Leap just few days ago. One of the best Productive Tool ever had. Excellent Phone.

  • You are blind,read carefully label on Your phone this is Droid.

  • I purchased blackberry leak 5 days ago. pls pls pls don't buy blackberry leap. it has issue with the wifi, Bluetooth and touch sensitiveness is very low, one need to press hard to pick a call or disconnect. the service center bluntly telling we cannot replace the phone nor give refund. infact I will strongly recommend not to buy any blackberry full touch phones. they nothing more than a piece a plastic dump

  • Hi leap users, pls I wanna know the camera quality both night and day, I desperate wanna buy this phone pls

  • yeah me too. gemini, onyx, z10 user.. i consider to buy leap but seems no diffrent with my current z10 except battery life. no need dual sim card. i hope they make another passport but without keyboard because all HD video is widescreen and specs of current passport just great.. hope they added 4gb ram also.. if they do so.. i'll buy whatever the price is.

  • I was a samsung fan till I met bb z10. Totally fell inlove with the operating system bb use unique. I am wondering when bb wil release leap in South Africa Johannesburg? Can't wait for bb slider.

  • I am a blackberry fan & currently use blackberry q10. I really wish that blackberry introduce dual sim card model. Tanx.

  • I am a blackberry fan & currently use blackberry q10. I really wish that blackberry introduce dual sim card model. Tanx.

  • Guys is there any problem in the device till now..if there just post ur opinion..please

  • I love blackberry been using Z10 for a year now. It doesnt lag, It doesnt hang, and It can use both android and bb programs, It can play m4a in its music player (technically for i phone music format) and a lot more. What I love more is the blackberry hub, though sometimes it is too bothersome, it gives me an instant view of all my messages.

  • Battery back-up good or not, how many hrs? please tell me.

  • Blackberry has gone mad

  • Yes whatsapp is available in Blackberry World

  • Is This Phone Whats aap Capability

  • Design's good, specs are better than Z10. I am using BlackBerry Z10. No news when it will launch in Indonesia and the price.

  • Is this phone whatsapp compatible....

  • Why will they make a octacore phone with 4 GB of RAM when their ultra light OS is capable of running on an aged processor with 2 GB or RAM? I believe the hardware should be based on what is required to run the software and thankfully BB is the company that understands this and does not run after specs.. I have never felt that my Q10 is lagging and a higher processor would have been better. Thankfully there is one company in the whole mobile world that does not run after Specs.. And those who think the phone are overpriced - there is a certain amount of expense in any manfucaturing / software development called R & D.... Out of the 21K INR price in India - blackberry Hub is work 5K to me....

  • In terms of productivity - Windows can not match Blackberry - in a few ways Android can, but not Windows... The audience that Blackberry caters to can never be taken away by WP - at least not it in it's current avatar.

  • Passport is already there... But yeah - its horribly expensive :(

  • Well... and you consider people who use Android, iOS or Windows phone are people who 'understand' smartphones. Pretty funny to say the least if not downright arrogant. If you search for the definition of smartphone anywhere else - apart from inside your head, you will find that blackberry ticks all the check marks. I am also not very fond of blackberry, actually Q10 is my first BB device. But there is no denying the fact that BB sure knows how to make a phone that gets the 'job' done. period. Yeah - the screen size is too small for my taste and the square screen is weird to look at... but which phone does not have its own set of design faults? Before passing anymore sarcastic remarks about blackberry - just wanted to let you know from BB OS 10.3.2 - they have done something revolutionary in anti theft. The phone gets paired with your blackberry id. Even if you format your phone - you need to login with the same BB id and password and yes - the device rejects any OS version earlier than 10.3.2... Now who is the dinosaur and 'old people/ man'...

  • I have a bb Z30, the leap is same size, battery, and less CPU, I wonder why they have released such model with no major change from a phone released two years ago. I would exepect, same specs of bb passport in a fully touch phone for improvement. It would not make sense to release another Z10 with another name in 2017!

  • Thats because it has a steel chasis and a double the size 2800mAh battery.iPhone has aluminium and smaller batteries

  • its very heavy than the apple

  • Hi,reckless & anonymous, you have not used BlackBerry , very good product with world's no 1 operating system, please for god shake do not compare with window s and android atleast.my only concern is price,but quality need the same.

  • I agree with ur comment

  • Blackberry runs android apps no problem!

  • BlackBerry Leap better then bleckberry z3 this is so beautiful cell so i buy this mobile

  • Leap has a better battery and the OS is better designed for a larger screen.

  • Smart Person Only Use Blackberry Proud To Be Blackberrian

  • The z10 successor is the Z30 which is incredibly amazing. Great screen and battery. The 10.3 update made it even better. I'm waiting for a succssor to decimate all other smartphones.

  • are you okay?

  • People who understand the value of time buy BlackBerry. I am sure for you things like brushing, taking bath, going to school, getting a job and even eating healthy food are outdated. Only old people do these, in your opinion, yes?

  • Why would u buy such phones which r outdated? U wud go for bb if only u an oldman who dont understand smart phones.

  • I very much feel blackberry should have or could have compromise a little width for more length of the blackberry passport so that the phone could have a full qwerty keyboard. I feel, the button set up is a flaw to the design of the blackberry passport. That's one phone I would have loved to use but width is kinda off to me. Then again, blackberry need to work on more apps just as android does. Now that the bb OS10s are compactible or infused with android, blackberry should make more apps and games available prompptly to their users/customers. This like these is becoming a quicker inpetus for people to switch brands, especially when there are as many new brands out there as there are media

  • Am a big fan of Blackberry. Got hooked on the brand ever since I tried 9700(bold2). The keypad feel is great and the user friendliness of the phone is yet a thing. However I wonder why blackberry isn't following the trend in the market as well as the consumers taste at present. I like the idea behind the blackberry classic. Bringing the full buttons back. That's really nice, but then I think blackberry should start to consider a 5.5" and 6.0" screen already. I almost made a switch to android because of the big screen. I hope I wouldn't have made the switch before blackberry decided to bring out their wider screen phone.

  • Answer the return question. Why would anyone buy anything else when there is BlackBerry.

  • With Android, IOS and Windows on the market, why would anybody buy a blackberry?

  • dat front just looks like my mi 3

  • If you compare the specs to the Z10 the Z10 is better, yet came out 2 years ago. Z10 is smaller, lighter, with better screen resolution, more support, and cheaper now too. Over 2 years and it's still going strong. No point in getting a Leap.

  • Yes I am happy with my Lumia 640 dual (cyan). Mobile experience is excellent,so smooth. Design is beautiful. Built quality is strong. Camera is better in good lighting. Sound is loud and decent. Display is very good. Some features are missing compared to Symbian and android like shortcuts for apps on lock screen. Those who are after games will not like windows phone as there less games And apps. Keyboard is best compared to android and iPhone. Live tiles are the main feature of wp os. Will buy blackberry next time, till then lumia will do the job well. Good job Microsoft and Nokia staff.

  • because, their objective is not on productivity and efficeincy of smartphone users, but on just adopting Android & Offcourse Pricing !!

  • Blackberry are not trying hard enough..i have a blackberry z10 and its enough with the current updates..they should just create the z10 successor with wider screen big battery and probably amoled screen..the rest will be history!

  • why?

  • just give up...

  • I agree with u. Nokia 640 is much better.

  • why blackberry hub like software is not design by any other OS

  • Whatever makes you happy, man. After all it is you who are going to use the phone. It is better to buy a phone you convinced that gets your stuff done than buy something else and crib later.

  • I was waiting for blackberry leap & was expecting it to be around 16000 - 17000 INR but blackberry priced it too high. This would have been my first Blackberry device but unfortunately I wont be buying this because it is out of my budget. Now I have ordered Lumia 640 dual & in a day or two it will be in my hands. lumia 640 is a value for many. Mocrosoft is ticking the right boxes with this phone. They knew that it will sell well under 10,000 INR in India, so to reduce price they went with online sales with Flipkart whereas retail sales for 640 xl. Keep it up Microsoft. Keep bringing to us Nokia's Built quality, Camera, Service Design & value for money products.

  • Hmmm..got what you mean. I myself have a Z30, and from the way OS leaks coming out of crackberry, it is safe to bet that Z30 will keep getting OS updates for a year or so. But with BlackBerry, one can't be too sure!

  • Priority , I think otg and gorilla glass are necessity for every one. Compass gyro HDMI help us in many apps secretly like maps, tilt sensor enhancing, presentations respectively. I mean I know I am going way against the phone but that's just what is happening.I am really disappointed. Rest the phone is good for messenging. OK, can someone answer if Z30 would keep getting update for another year or so ?? And there are no light sensors too so automatic brightness won't be there.

  • BlackBerry make BlackBerry Z10 user waiting for so long. Make 4.5 inches display of BlackBerry Z10 successor please. 5 inches is too big to use by one handedly. Otherwise, I'll stick to my beautiful BlackBerry Z10

  • everything is good in leap,except slower processor nd price according to processor.this is not a good market stratgy for success for 2015.i am nt sure nd have a doubt for buy this phone

  • My opinion is that if the features like Gyrosensor ,Magnetic sensor ,NFC ,Compass , USB OTG , HDMI etc are priority for you, then there is no point in buying Leap.

  • I have used Microsoft apple Android so I wanted to get my hands on a blackberry. And this is what they launched. Specs are horrible but they say its to cut the price. And then they priced it 21500 :D . BB boys see the Moto G, it is how u cut the price. Apparently the phone is missing Gyrosensor ,Magnetic sensor ,NFC ,Compass , Gorilla Glass, USB hosting ,HDMI ,baro , (*.*) BB cut price not features. They are all available in Z30 , with a far better GPU and CPU plus amoled screen. Would I buy this, not until the price hits 16k. Now !y question is should I but Z30 now over this "back leap."

  • Just watch this video :) Also BB10 phones will get updated for years at the minimum 2 to 3 years so don't worry about that...

  • I wouldn't agree to 'zero value' of BlackBerry 10 phones. However I agree to the part that India is a ultra price sensitive market. Here people don't look into the fine details of a product like smartphones. Mere look at 'specs' that too not knowing what does it do. A vast majority of just go with word of mouth. I wish BlackBerry would pull out a rabbit from their had and flood markets in developing countries with low cost BlackBerry 10 phones to create a user base. That same strategy does wonders to Windows phones.

  • worst GPU

  • Zero Value for Money. BB got it wrong again. I dont know who is guiding BB for pricing the products in extremely price sensitive market like India. I have been a BB user for past 5 years and was waiting for a good BB device at affordable price for last 8 months and finally shifted to Windows last week. I guess the decision was right after knowing the price of leap in India. High time BB, get rid off your marketing Manager in India...

  • Fully agree. Am using from 2+ years now and I have already used Galaxy S3, iphone 3gs,4,5s and 6. This is better than anyone. Now am buying blackberry leap...Android phone is night mare in front of BB 10 OS.

  • which one is better htc 826 or blackberry leap???? leap is easily available or not??? if yes then what should its range???

  • Yes it will run. Most likely android apps will run well and you can even install Google play store.

  • Educated also means people who take the time to read about things. If you had done, we won't have to tell you BB OS 10 is the only real time os out there.

  • Obviously you have never touched a blackberry z10.

  • Very fast device comparing to its peers, very fastest and secure operating system BlackBerry 10.

  • I have been using a Blackberry Z10 For a year now and performance is not an issue. No lag at all and I have never had a brain freeze that would require battery removal. Android phones have been a nightmare for that in my experience. The BB 10 OS is based on QNX micro kernel so it is extremely reliable. Excellent business tool, especially the Hub.

  • I've had my Z30 for 2 years ish now and no sign of lag at all.In fact, since 10.3 update it is quicker and more smooth than ever.

  • This, BlackBerry Leap I the next successful smartphone. Not interested translates to not earning.

  • iAM intrest

  • It has outdated processor which is not good for the price. But BlackBerry told that leap will be getting updates too. Leap and classic have same processor so the updates will be getting for sure. As a z10 user I thought that Snapchat s4 won't be good at all but the phone was fluid. You won't believe unless you use for Phone. It works nice with her latest BlackBerry OS. The only problem is when playing games like Asphalt8 or mortal kombat it doesn't seem well.

  • Thank you very much for such excellent guidance.

  • Any time. You should understand certain things about a BlackBerry 10 phone. There are lot of fun applications might be missing from BlackBerry 10 OS ( I mean native application to the OS). Android apps ( those don't require google integration ) work in a fashion , but you can expect some slutter and performance issues if you use resource hungry android apps - aka games. But the platform is an excellent communication tool. The subtle features built in the OS is oriented towards productivity. I have been using BlackBerry 10 phones for two years, and one thing they don't do is lag or hang. If I may use an analogy, a BlackBerry is like a 125CC bike or a 1000 cc car . They get the work done, take you reliably from point A to point B and gives good fuel economy. But don't expect them to win a race or to perform stunts :D. Still, Leap is a new entrant, so not sure about the performance. You might want to wait for a couple of months and see the reviews ( not junk reviews, but written by people who purchased it - certified buyers) I have a BlackBerry Z30, and it is an excellent business phone.My opinions are based on a Z30's useage.

  • Thank you very much for making it more clear. But this would be the first time I would be having a Blackberry device. Till now I was only using Android devices. I am looking at Blackberry as a Business phone and not as an Multimedia phone. So what do you suggest? My main concern is will Blackberry become lag in few months. Asking this because no matter how costly you buy any Android device, it lags after some period of time.

  • At the first glance, the facts you stated may sound dreadful. But the million dollar question would be what one wants from a phone. Nowadays a smartphone with highest 'specs' is a fashion accessory. But there are people who see the utility of the smartphone alone. BlackBerry 10 is capable of delivering the "smartphone" aspect pretty well - that is it does not need the monumental specs of other platform. No hanging, no lagging and smooth transitions. So, instead of focussing just at the 'specs' aspect, it would be good to visit a shop, see if Leap fits into the definition of your needs and take a decision. That is what I would do. But if you are looking at at the novelty aspect alone, then I think BlackBerry Leap may not be for you. Ain't it easy to decide?

  • Blackberry Leap is built using the 3 year old Processor "Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus MSM8960" which was released in Jan 2012. Is it now worth spending $275 (INR ~17K) on the Blackberry Leap which is using an outdated Processor? I mean how long will it be able to survive in the Market and how would be the Performance? For how much long will the Leap users get the update? I am still confused with the above questions. Hope anybody might be able to help me. Thanks in advance.

  • do the bb phns run with nomal internet plans?

  • seems like rubbish to me. come on blackberry, where is your imagination? go run wild a bit. you keep releasing the same this all this while without even impress me as an X-blackberry user. i know blackberry is meant for professional businessmen, but at least create some high end phone.

  • The BlackBerry Leap should cost Rs 22000 to 24000 if you see the global prices.Specification wise looks attractive.

  • y install Android apps through sideloads or taking apk if you can install Google Play Store right in your Blackberry 10 devices running 10.3.1 update...which runs n support Android 'L'. 99% of the Play Store Apps are supported.

  • Update BlackBerry contact me, told me to format my SD card inside my BlackBerry Leap instead of my PC , so I saved all my pics videos, music , on my PC in a folder , then I format my SD card, and everything works , am happy now I can Save my playlist

  • I own this device and loving it only issue I have is making my music playlist by Saving it , an error message shows up ,I already contact BlackBerry . They are working on this issue, but if anyone knows how to fix this pls help , I already tried taking memory card, turning phone off then back on , connect to the computer went on BlackBerry link . Nothing still can't save my playlist

  • i want to purchase this phone when it is available in store?

  • i was using Android, but moved to a BB Q10 6 months ago. I will stick with Blackberry... and the leap might be nice, i will check it out. Android is just becoming a piece of spyware... and blackberry focus is messaging... information consumption for me is laptop / desktop, browsing the web on a phone isn' t all that...

  • kindly provide the phone model code of blackberry leap

  • Its not good great but you are wrong about the operating system. It is fluid and very nice. If you want high end device they will be launching slider at her end of the year. Check this link -https://n4bb.com/user/Lucas/

  • BlackBerry manual for Leap says it has got a micro SIM. docs.blackberry.com/en/smartphone_users/delivera­bles/70545/BlackBerry_Leap_Smartphone-User_Guide­-1337191904827-10.3.1-en.pdf

  • The pinnacle of BlackBerry greatness. The only best smartphone operating system.

  • Plse let me know if the sim is mini or micro. Tanx

  • Look similar like blackberry z3

  • Look similar like blackberry z3

  • Nothing great. Bad operating system

  • Well, you can always take it to a BlackBerry support center and get it replaced. On the other hand, if you feel a bit adventurous, you can do it yourself after buying the battery. There are enough tutorials available in youtube if you look for it. FYI, I myself have replaced the complete frets and keyboard of an old BlackBerry 9870 and the display and synthesizer of a BlackBerry Z30. It was fun indeed, especially after some tense moments the phone starts up :)

  • charlie is the phne is really good

  • BlackBerry 10 is the most secure, fluid and energy efficient OS with tonnes of features. But I am not badmouthing Apple like an immature kid. Apple is good for what it designed - entertainment.

  • BlackBerry covering all the bases and firing to success. BlackBerry is winning over everything as we speak. Gosh, someone here is astounded at BlackBerry's success :D.

  • sir this mobile battery is non removable one time battery dead how this change battery

  • Blackberry operating system is bad. Apple is best

  • Why blackberry is launching this kind of phone when classic and passport are flopped. The company is going to shut down soon.

  • Sour grapes. But it is ok. After all everyone does dream a phone like BlackBerry Leap.

  • Looks are deceiving when it comes to BlackBerry. Infact all BlackBerry phones are very rich looking.

  • Right. You now dream Samsung too :D. Trolling here as well? BlackBerry is the best phone.

  • I am using samsung note2 am willing to get into blackberry or IOS my first priority would be BB with regards to email. if there is any other suggestion please let me know with clarification.

  • when it will release in india?

  • BlackBerry since leaving I loved it, I had three BB and I changed because I felt he was falling behind with your OS, then Samsung was leading the market with the Samsung Galaxy S2, I change BB for Samsung S3 . I'm doing very well, I would like to return to BB but still has a long way to regain life in this very growing market.

  • Look like cheap phone

  • Blackberry operating system is slow not good as compare to Apple or Android.

  • "You don't Know what you're talking about..." #Read wide!!!

  • Can we download some android apps....

  • No never want this phone in my life.

  • Blackberry OS is bad. Best are IPhones and Google.

  • Yes you can and most of his popular apps will support BlackBerry OS too... Its a very nice OS. Try it..

  • I would say you didn't undestand the technical things 1) how many email accounts you configured on android or IOS. You configurethem and use them on blackberry and check you will understand what I want to say. What about viruses, malware and fishing on android and IOS Phones? For your information there is not a single virus exist in the world that could cause blackberry. You need to use blackberry 10 OS for 15 days then pass your comments

  • I am using Z10 & love BB 10.3 OS. It is much better then Android or IOS. Although most of the popular apps are available in BB Store, but many companies in India like Ola Cabs, Flipkart don't have apps for BB. Ola cabs does is business exclusively through app & it is surprising that still they don't have BB app. These companies are spending heavily in marketing their app, giving discounts & offers exclusively for app users.

  • not luck of apps you hae thousands of android app and the best of all the the operating systen with bb 10.3.1 i tested ios and android the blackberry with android app support and the hub is the best

  • They're troll. Best avoided.

  • worse mobile operating system. not user friendly. did not like it. Android and Iphone oprating system are best

  • You think BlackBerry OS is not good. It is the best OS I have used used upto now although I didn't tried IOS. The problem with BlackBerry is the lack of apps. I am sure they will find some other way soon...

  • Has it been launched in Nigeria already,wanted to go for the z3,but the fact that its 8gb,5mp didn't make it an option,but now the leap is here ,look forward to getting it

  • yes it will run on normal data plan....

  • You loss

  • Then why did you come here to look at it?

  • Not interested in Blackberry phone anymore

  • Coming to Batam

  • Does it support normal data plan?...

  • Its time... Nokia should buy Blackberry and start making the BBOS better to compete droid

  • The best mobile O.S.

  • BB consumers like to take pictures of the highest quality of every moment. And its a lovely experience for a lifetime. But BB is stealing all that right from its consumers. What do think we should do now? Go and buy Samsung, Sony etc 'phones which got all what we need most? We don't like all those 'phones. So BB up your game to stay on a flagship! Put on a good APP store as well.

  • Another boring and crap mobile. worse operating system

  • from where i can get blackberry leap ?; i am living in melbourne (australia)

  • Yeah i agree. Os 10 is by far the best o.s .. it's simply amazing.

  • yes it does:)

  • whats is working better than any android and ios device. this is a great cell phone.

  • Yes.

  • Yes, there is whatsapp on the blackberry world, (native apps) and also it is on amazon app store (android apps) BB 10 OS able to run native plus android apps

  • Did whatsaap work in blackberry leap.??

  • 1) BB 10 is a modern OS. 2) A while back, BB adopted Android apps (though limited to the Amazon Appstore, I believe) in addition to the traditional BlackBerry World marketplace, so they have more apps than Windows Phone already.

  • It ain't strange at all that a company once in difficulties and having tried to much to remain in de flagship segment tries to "survive" in the "affordable" regions by producing phones that are a lot less expensive to produce while hoping to make some money out of it. Of course you can ask yourselves if the produced "cheeper" BB phones are what customers are waiting for. I think they need to think harder if they want to succeed in this strategy. Microsoft has made the same "error" when they tried so hard to launch windows 7 trough premium and semi premium offerings (and failed). Think about it. Android is only the leading OS beceause of the strategy of makers like Samsung who didn't focus only on high-end devices but flooded the market with more affordable or even cheep offerings. Should the addressed companies have focussed only on the premium market Android would probably even not exist anymore... Bare in mind that only a manority of the buying masses is able to spend the required amount for a premium offering.

  • I sure am eagerly awaiting the LEAP. I sold my z3 already in order to rock the leap.. Hope it's launches in Nigeria soon

  • They don't need to move over to android or windows.. The only thing they need to do is get more apps developer so that BB OS can have as many apps as android or windows, because that's the only reason people tout the other OS(es) to be better than OS10

  • God bless you for that comment. So many ignorant comments based of wide spread rumors. What surprises is that most of these people who run down OS 10 haven't tried it at all.. I can comfortably say that BB10 is the best OS presently..

  • Why does balckberry keep coming out with these sub-par phones? They want to stay in the game, but they wont make a flagship device that can compete with competitors. It"s just waste of time and money for them.

  • This phone especially for indonesian market but for global too

  • better softwear,n better camera.come to the looks Z3,y not change the shape as well.hope their camera will be better than Z3.Becouse Z3 camera is poor quality compared to Q5 and Q10.So lets hope their 8mp will be good.THANK YOU.

  • this phone not released yet. buy from where ?

  • Blackberry need to combat the ignorance like seen on the comments here. e.g. need to use android or need modern OS. People still think they are using a Java based BB7. BB10 OS is a brilliant "modern" OS based around messaging. It has one the best implementations of on screen keyboard with probably THE best auto-correct. Only downside? The kids can't play as many games, although most of the major games are there on the amazon store. The leap is an excellent budget business phone for people who want to save time, not waste time.

  • Do you even know what BB OS10 is, FYI, its the best OS out there...just the APP developers are taking time to come over this side, which will soon happen

  • True using a beter software platform will change the game for them

  • As for as the quality is concerned, BB is best but blackberry should move on to microsoft or andriod based OS to survive in the market, blackberry lovers are massive but users need modern OS too...

  • Will you blackberry team please release a passport like specifications on a z10 body with a larger 5 inch display and atleast full hd resolution. Of course with a nice removable battery that will last a day of heavy usage. That would be great I assure you! Because I love my z10 a lot but the update to 10.3.1 just kill my buddy. Model Slt100-1. Blackberry listen to this, because we want the best of both worlds. Come on guys. We still count on you, the business world needs you.

  • is it true

  • Better than z30.

  • Buy a z30, better specification with almost same price

  • With blackberry OS10 you don't need subscription anymore, you can use the normal data plan.

  • can i use normal data plan in this mobile??plz reply...

  • BlackBerry devices are well built. It's the only device that can forever. My 9780 is 5yrs and still alive and kicking. I've z30 now And loving it

  • U lied. U've no knowledge about neither z30 nor leap. The battery can last for almost 16hrs on normal usage. U got to decrease the brightness .my z30 is a year old and its working perfectly. U got to charge the battery once. u wait till about 20-30% before u recharge. Os 10.3.1 is awesome

  • Nice fone. But Z30 is still far better (battery,design,price) I would stick with z30 until something much better comes.

  • I have Z10, but i guess the battery goes down faster on Z10, Leap has better battery....

  • Much Better

  • this phone is better than blackberry Z3 but they look the same.Z10 is still the best phone.

  • Stupid, let the phone get released first...

  • i want 2 buy a bb leap.. plz frnd give some suggestion :) this phone is better than bb z10 and z3 or not??

  • Looks like You don't need phone but Doctor.

  • i already purchaged this one in nizeeriaa, i studied about this mobile hardware features, according to my knowledge it hangs for hour to hour, main problem is battery backup, i charge this one, daily 4 to 5 times... so be carefule while purchage... before u purchage think and buy it...

  • I don't get blackberry leap its like a z3

  • I pre-ordered this phone. And here is why. when it's time to replace our phones, Some of us dont want a new model. we have found a design and form factor that works for us. for me it's the z10. however phones dont last forever, and phone companies dont know how to upgrade the insides without redesigning the outside. so maybe the leap is basically a z10, that works for me, thats what i need.

  • BB OS 10 is better than Windows OS, It would be stupidity to Join Microsoft, like the way Nokia Did, Nokia would have been killing every other Manufactures if they would have stayed with Meego...But Elop was the Idiot who pitched it...anyways....Blackberry would be back not like old days but they will be out of the crisis...

  • waiting for bb leap

  • This is an amazing improvement. I love this phone, blackberry keep it up. Will it be available in Nigeria by may this year?.

  • Yeah it does uses iSight. But it just a name, grow up. Apple is still using sony camera sensor's like other android phone.Blackberry is using their own sensor atleast.

  • Waiting for bb leap

  • I used both of BlackBerry and sailfish smart phones. BlackBerry is not failure it will be future if BlackBerry reform their os but not the way as windows os, because of windows os is not true multitasking one app running and others are paused. BlackBerry should go it's own way but with dynamic active frames just like sailfish os. They copies BlackBerry so why should not BlackBerry add good things from them. I loved BlackBerry but not now. BlackBerry should be careful about their customers and their expectations.

  • BBOS is failure Sailfish is failure Tizen is not so great and not so bad BB and Jolla and others should try someother OS BB will be back in the game if it goes windows way... BB formfactor is a gain for Windows OS. and Windows OS is a gain for BB ecosystem Jolla is handicapped with sailfish as it is not productive Firefox is still an infant Ubuntu mobile is retarded cyanogen os is promising lets see who wins...

  • Finally I got my new smartphone Jolla Sailfish.It's fantastic experience with jolla. It's dynamic covers are fantastic we never need to open the apps. Look forward BlackBerry today the sailfish os is its early stage of v2.0 and it is very light too after 2 or 3 major os update sailfish os will be far ahead of BlackBerry os. I loved my BlackBerry z10 for a long time but others os are also trying to reform their os . Sailfish os is truly gesture based os. In BlackBerry os 10 if you want to change your music you need to open your app, if you want to know the downloading status you need to open your app. Change your mind BlackBerry you need major os reformation.After 1 or 2 years sailfish os is future

  • what is bad from bbz3 is the bezel easily to scratch and I guess this one is the same.

  • Do you know the type of hardware the iPhone uses?! it uses isight, which is far more better than BlackBerry's camera hardware.

  • Not at all dear. Go to specs again.

  • 808 with a $275 USD price tag?!?!? This is a low to mid tier phone you are not going to get such a high end Chipset for $275 USD

  • Its a copy of BB z3 mobile with 8mp camera nothing else

  • Why an S4+ in 2015? It should have been an 808

  • can you buy bb leap so please help me

  • Come on BB give us a better phone in a better body. This phone is too heavy 170g for a 5" screen.

  • just to let you know blackberry are as bad rolf harris

  • will black berry leap have a confrence call

  • The world is competing with 4.9mm thickness ! And BB is still on 9.4mm ! That feels like am holding a Nokia 3310 ! But I would still say BB OS is best !

  • If blackberry releases a slimmer phone (at least 8.0mm) with 1080p display !it would definitely get my attention! But the BB OS is awesome ! It just need a better hardware ! And if BB releases a phone like Z10 (their predecessor) with a bigger display ! I would definitely buy it !

  • I need it... but cam pixel should hve sme mre then it vl b awesome

  • Dude who art in 9ja, Ba wo ni? I own a sexy white z30 which I updated to OS 10.3.1 and I have no blank screen... Did u use autoloader or was it from a notification on thy phone?? Meanwhile there's BlackBerry office in lag and I heard they announced they'd replace all defective z30 phones

  • i am waiting for BB leap releasing, when you can release this?

  • many BBfan keep talking about no need latest hardware and bla bla bla, thats why BB phone cant move forward. if they truly want to make BB phone more recognizable like in late 00's just make new phone with latest hardware but not too pricey hardware for example this year use snapdragon 410, next year use 425, in 1 year all phone use same soc. but still keep updating to latest hardware. next year also use latest hardware but using same soc for all phone

  • First of all the Sony phone is a high phone the one you are comparing with and this is a mid range phone at $275 USD and the iPhone is just 8mp and it sells like hot cakes....8MP is enough for everyday photo's. It's all about the software running it.

  • Seriusly u need to ask yourself 1st before getting into BlackBerry World, This is for people who actually using a smartphone as a smartphone, not as PSP or Maybe DSLR kinda camera phone.We appreciated the view and comments, but take a look at what actually Blackberry does to make the security a main reason and priority. If Blackberry gonna do the DSLR kinda camera, android look alike or maybe iOS, this would be happening years before. Because Blackberry only targetting only a certain kind of people who really using a SMARTPHONE as a SMARTPHONE..not TOY to play with or a PIXEL kinda camera to capture it. Just sufficient enough to deal with daily life without needs to Crawlling against the wall for Power Supply or dragging your PowerBank with u all the time... Think about it....

  • Leap = Z30 + Z3: -form is very similar to Z3 -the majority of hardware is the same as for Z30 For that reason they also could "reach" such a convenient price

  • I like blackberry when it comes to its OS, it would be the beat phone for me if it has better camera, Xperia z3 has 20mp why blackberry is stuck with 8mp?

  • Does it have compass?

  • cant wait to have this phone

  • so nice and sexy phones

  • blackberry was is and will be the best class apart

  • Whats exactly new in this phone, i am a user of BB Z 10 i dont find much difference beside a bigger screen

  • Does any body know the answer to this question? I know a guy from BlackBerry who uses Leap for testing purposes and he says that Leap uses microSIM. But, I assume that it might change for production devices. I will appreciate information about it very much

  • superb i like this

  • don't let your ignorance overwhelm you, it only makes you look bad.

  • yes educated working persons............only for messaging

  • Blackberry is also for the educated working professional.

  • y higher main camera and stabilization

  • Mostly leftover components from earlier models....

  • Have owned many types of BlackBerry phones, right now am using a Z3 but l don't like it especially on the camera, how can they make such a big phone but have a camera same as a BlackBerry 9730?...think BlackBerry should improve their cameras maybe like the Hauwei Ascend P7 its not a much recognised brand but have better camera than BlackBerry, the Leap looks like my Z3 but would want to get one....otherwise am a die hard BlackBerry user we only need some changes

  • Eagerly waiting for this want to buy

  • if you want to go to mass, please get a edge by launching dual sim phones. it is vital. that is what lumia doing now.

  • BlackBerry is the best OS. They respect our privacy... not like the other... Try a real phone before posting a comment

  • Please update your processor.

  • BlackBerry think that their os is best in class like ios, android, windows, sailfish os. BlackBerry wants that we waste our money on their phones for what kind of jobs,,,, only for messaging. BlackBerry think other os based smart phones don't do that, I think they never see the market leaders, what the customers want. Look forwards dudes. I used BlackBerry z10 for one year and gave it to my grandfather because I think it is only for old men. If I want to use android apps so why I bought BlackBerry z10 and waste my money....and finally I want to say that don't waste your money on BlackBerry smartphones, BlackBerry always say that their os is light and no high specification of hard were needed. I think they are right because only for messaging no high specifications are needed

  • BlackBerry has announced that it will replace defaulted z30 phones

  • BlackBerry has announced that it will replace defaulted z30 phones

  • It looks exactly like Z3, that's why the design score is low. I myself is very disappointed. Really need a phone in this class, but if it looks like the cheaper Z3 then what's the point.

  • You buy phone on the basis of dimension? Does dimension run the phone?

  • They could have extended the passport a bit without the keyboard. THey are just wasting time repeating designs. THat looks so basic.Is that a budget phone?

  • I am a bit disappointed, I was hoping that it would be at least in comparison with the Iphone 6+ in size. Iphone 6 plus Dimensions Height 158.8 mm Depth 7.1 mm Width 78.8 mm Weight 172 gr ---------------------------- I was hoping that they would refix the passport. Take off the physical Keyboard. and stretch it a bit. A very powerful phone.

  • While I love blackberry, I'm still displeased that in my country Nigeria, I wasn't able to get a fix for my Z30 that had blank screen issues when I upgraded to 10.3 software. Please be careful when purchasing blackberry products. [email protected]

  • I have being a blackberry owner for the pass 15 years..and yes they really need to make some changes.. mainly picture quality, better camera..compare any blackberry smart phone to a Samsung you can really see the difference in picture quality...I would to see for leap improvement to the camera 8 to their new 13.3 front view..improve from 16g to 24 g..

  • BlackBerry z10 is much more better according for the price... most of the specs are the same and in some cases z10 is better

  • BlackBerry z10 is much more better according for the price... most of the specs are the same

  • Blackberry 10.3.1 is on this device. Blackberry 10 os is very efficent. No need for more than two cores. Its a powerful device.

  • Plz do launch this cell in India asap as m waiting eagerly to get this one at any cost ...

  • Better off getting an old cheap Z10 released in Jan 2013. It has better spec (e.g. screen) than this 'Leap' and runs BB OS 10.3.1 after update. Yes BlackBerry phones can run well on lower spec than other phones due to the OS, but if they had a 2015 spec phone they would be so fast it might be worth getting. - Ex BB fan ~10yrs work/personal.

  • It has the same problem that z30 had.... a very low display quality

  • hope can fast announce the release date.

  • im waiting for it

  • reminds me of Z3 model

  • Looks attractive can't understand rsn behind so low scoring in design features etc Much reliable smartphone on it's way to marketplace

  • Can I do video calling.

  • I am sure the phone is hot.

  • My frnds told me this phone is heating.isn't it?

  • i wish market price for blackberry leap is below $200 usd and i would gladly to buy it

  • Blackberry 10.3.1 OS is super cool and smart. All it needs now is a breakthrough in design ! Leap is no ground breaking design either ! so BB hire a new designer

  • I agree

  • I agree my brother. Nothing is special nor new about Blackberry Leap. Is an old Blackberry dressed in new clothes

  • I agree brother. With this device there is nothing new which appears to have been invented specifically for this device,except the new OS platform. In many of this device' parts are a repititions of previous models the super famous Z10 and small scaled Z30 phablet which is Z3

  • Very disappointed about this device. It was assembled using the hardware of both the famous Z10 and the z30 miniature handset Z3. I notice very small development and improvement in this device except the new OS platform. This time Blackberry and her engineers didn't have something to put on the table and impress us her conzumers and fight her rivals.

  • I'm a big fan of blackberry and I use one but this does not mean I'm a businessman nor a office going professional. I am extremely sad to say I'm disappointed with the specifications of this device. I know a dual core processor is enough to keep BB10 os running but as a consumer I'd expect more. From my experience using Z10,which runs on the same processor, I have to admit that the processor it not that capable of running android apps simultaneously smoothly. In my opinion they could have gone for a Snapdragon 400 or even a 410. I don't know whether it is foolish for me to say this, but I think BB can do better if they make processors by themselves like samsung and apple does. I think it's about time that they understand WHAT THE CONSUMER NEED and not what they expect the consumer to do with a BB. Wishing Blackberry a good future.

  • 25 hour "talk time" battery life... this will outlast most tablets. Sign me up please.

  • Bb is not bad at all, the only problem is that not all android apps run smooth and I hope with this edition they sorted out the battery overheat problem my Z 10 gets very hot on my new sony z3 I miss the bb keyboard and the minimized screens that is right on the main screen the leap is basically a z10 with bigger battery and lte (4g)not too shabby!

  • ......

  • I currently have the Z30 and have had it for a while which is also my 9th BB. If the Leap is BBs way of new ideas and innovative ways, then it looks like I'm not buying my 10th BB phone this year at least!!!

  • Dual Core 1.5GHZ with Adreno 305 is not MSM8960 Pro but its an APQ806X which is actually the play series... So there's nothing wrong in choosing this CPU, and if u suggest that you would like to have SD400/410 chip, well, in performance and benchmarks, it is still running superior by a hundred or even thousand.. This phone is maybe not for HEAVY USER OR TECH WISE OR PHOTOGRAPHERS... but for a normal person like me, this phone is great... A 5inch with 720p + a loud speaker + a decent camera that is good in taking simple file or photo... Well, this maybe a phone that is only good for students or normal person....

  • Looks to me like one more stylish, high quality, good and reliable phone from Blackberry. Don't full yourself with non 40 mega pixels camera and similar. I am curious to read the official review once the phone is available. Note: my company phone is Lumia. Experience from my colleagues is far from nice words written hear about it. Most of the experiences with Samsung phones are similar: works good for some time Therefore make no mistakes: there is one quality phone in the market pushed out with mass products: Blackberry. Think...

  • Lots of trolls on here.. What don t you understand about Blackberry 10.3.1 will be on the leap. Qnx is the os Behind Blackberry 10. Blackberry 10.3.1 can run better on the leap than and Android phone with 22 cores. Its not the size that counts its the way the Os handles..

  • I wouldn't mind buying this phone at all, those are some good specs, as for some of you on here who say they should have a 3gb ram, bla bla bla and so on.. why dont you buy go buy an iphone 6 or 6 plus with 1GB ram lol with less than $300...

  • what is the expect type of sim ? 1. Regular 2. Micro 3. Nano

  • LTE, also known as Long Term Evolution, or 4G is a special frequency which can provide download speeds around 100-150 Mbps. Most of the phones these days are equiped to handle this frequency. Next step in mobile technology is 5G network which is capable to handle speeds of....7.5 Gbps...it will be a while untile then.

  • when is processor speed gonna increase...

  • what is the difference between lte and 4g and is it 4g phone or not?

  • Lacks everything... Gorrila glass ...snapdragon..... Amoled screen..blackberry .....iiiiii hii hii...price range ....iiiihi hiiii

  • Oh,I really would like to see this battery and GPU in my Z10

  • HI,is this phone already in market.i'm from kenya

  • Don't forget people, blackberry's use .apk files so its really easy to get the play store and most of your android apps onto this!

  • It would have been better if it is a sub 200$ phone. 275$ for this phone is no where good. They should have put atleast snapdragon 400 atleast. I think they bought too many S4's for z10 and classic...

  • Haha that's good. I totly agree with u. Love u BlackBerry alwaz

  • what its the price on blackberry leap

  • Many people talking here that they want SNAPDRAGON 800 3GB RAM QUAD CORE PROCESSOR AND BLAH BLAH BLAH. They forget that OS is also a kind of thing which runs your device. Actually its your os that decide how much external seizures you need to run it. BlackBerry is is more cable and optimise to run in a low specs sheet. Doctor forget window phones? So most of all it does matter is optimization because it will provide more out of the device. Your need rely on os. Not on 3gb ram and octa core processor.

  • Any BB10 Smart Phone can Game as well if not better than any competing smart phone ever released to date. Gaming & watching Videos etc., is not a problem at all with a device powered by BB10.

  • The Leap is a Low to Mid range device, not a high end. So that explains the specs and the cheap price of $275. This device powered by BB10.3.1 will blow any Android and iOS smart phone out of the water. Good move by BlackBerry to attract people that don't want to spend an arm and a leg on Smart Phones. This Leap suits them fine. And with BlackBerry, you get all the software and the most up to date OS, not like Android and its 50 different OS versions and its mass fragmentation.

  • Yeah man.. everyone is not crazy for gaming nd using all kinda of app which IOS nd Android provide.. Blackberry is coming back in Market thats more important..

  • Why didn't they go for the Snapdragon 810 like everyone else? why dual core? :( Also 16GB and 2GB ram? really? are we in 2013? 32GB and 3GB Ram + Snapdragon 810 is what defines early 2015 modules... call me crazy but this alone is why I don't consider this phone, and I HAVE been waiting for it :( dang it

  • Your all wrong, its a BB for the masses, for everyone. some people dont want to spend £500 on a phone, some people actually use their phone for emails BBM texting and making calls, not everyone want every app and game under the sun, should be cheap or cheaperrrrrr than a lot of phones on the market but it will still have the best OS being the BB 10.3 so it should be a bargain.

  • Ram, ppi and camera is better tan Z3. It will prove a good addition in BB.

  • Microsoft Lumia 640 LTE is has best price for 180. Blackberry sure will make this phone more price about 280 or 320

  • this phone is cost more than �175 will be a fail down. this dont have gorila glass, this phone dont bring nothing new to Z10 or Z30. just making phone to say that BB is relase new phone but dont bring nothing to the Z10 or z30 that exist at 3years. Concluson if this phone cost more than �170 no 1 will buy it

  • blacberry still living in 90s

  • True buddy I agree. It seems RIM has run out of ideas

  • Hi there I totally agree with you. The Blackberry Leap, is nothing new but a remade Blackberry Z3. Blackberry be inventive and stop being repeatitive

  • I wanted to know weather blackberry leap has options like screen mirroring and media sharing for in built wi-if led TV's were we can share with one touch..

  • Just use the new 10.3.1 in a phone. With this OS BlackBerry phones just rock.

  • Honestly BlackBerry should just make a smartphone the way Asus did good example is the Asus Zenfone series. Providing good quality smartphone with promising specifications and reasonable price. Why can't BB realize that making pricey smartphones with outdated specs wouldn't get them nowhere recovering their loss instead they should lower the price provide quality phones the the Asus zenfone 5 & 6 and this would sell a lot. They should do this with BB Leap. Their pricing is their number one disadvantage

  • This one is an entry level mobile under $300, the expected price is 275, don't expect it to compete with $1000 mobile, for this price, it has a decent specifications, bearing in mind that blackberry operating system is not resource hungry like the android

  • Does not seem like a bad phone. It looks like it is just an all touch Classic. I would love to try an Blackberry 10 handset. Other than the Palm OS's I have not used it yet. Now I use IOS and Windows Phone mostly, and have a Android tablet I share with my Dad. I do have a coworker that has a Q10 as an mp3 player. He moved over to a Galaxy S5 as his main phone.

  • The difference is the hardware. The 'Leap's hardware is a bit higher than that of Z3. Looking closer to this new Blackberry it has its hardware built the same with those of the Blackberry Z10. I do not this handset is going to catch a lot of fish for its owners

  • I wonder what is it that makes this phone on the heavier side?

  • Greatest design I've ever seen in BlackBerry mobiles. Look at the back panel. Fine dot structured. Just awesome

  • all other smartphones look similar to this i would appreciate blackberry please bring something new in design we will love to see some flip,slider, folder type smartphones.

  • already using 10.3.1 on z3. blackberry OS is awesome and powerful. waiting desperately for Leap

  • I thought BlackBerry will release a touch screen phone with the same specs as the passport.. now this is just a repetition of the Z30.. no wonder why they are not in the top10 anymore

  • OMG did they just water down a Z30 or what? The display is identical and the processor is just as slow. But then again, what do you expect for $275.00 ? My guess is that it'll do okay for an entry level device though.

  • It's time Blackberry bowed out gracefully. Dedicated devices are no longer on the menu, (were they ever) lol.

  • The diffrences bw z 30 and leap are prices .or nothing

  • A nexus 4 (specs) wrapped in blackberry body. But S4 chip is good enough i think.

  • Just terrible. We want something like this, Blackberry OS deserve something gorgeous and good looking ..like this About this phone? Really really bad bad bad move ...stupid as they can be.

  • whats there in it at least there is no compass and still only dual core

  • this is iphone killer...... iphone 3G.... lol

  • I don't think this would be iPhone 6 killer or could sell more than iPhone 6. The specs are excellent but not enough to kill the new iPhone. Next high end BlackBerry will kill the new iPhone and Galaxy S for sure. Kudos to BlackBerry!

  • z30 amoled panel leap lcd panel

  • hahhaahaha you made my day :D

  • Almoust: NONE! Like Samsung they(BB) must to produce more than one phone/target market.

  • Microsoft's WP 8.1 doesn't need an octa core processor for the phone to run smoothly. you name it. lumia 640, 640xl, 535, 532, 435 all use snapdragon 400 or below with minimal clocking power. Apple's iphone 6 and 6 plus uses the A8 chip which is only a dual core processor and 1.4ghz but the performance is on par with the Note 4 that uses the Snapdragon 805. same with Blackberry 10 OS. it doesn't need octa core or quad core to run smoothly. a dual core processor is more than enough added by 2 gigs of RAM. spec sheet doesn't mean anything much because there are a lot of things to consider when inspecting a phone's performance. such as the software (OS, App optimization, etc) what most of you guys are looking at is just from the hardware perspective, you need to look at it as a whole and not just before. this isn't a rant, it's just my two cents because a lot of people are using Android base smartphones Specs as the standard in the smartphone industry. but it's not

  • Why no gyro and NFC!

  • Cons: 170 g of weight 720 x 1280 of resolution Dual-core 1.5 GHz Krait 8 MP Camera No NFC No gyro sensor almost similar to BLACKBERRY Z30 Pros: microSD support up to 128 GB

  • This phone is a killer... 2012

  • "Design" or beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But if you are saying this to badmouth blackberry, then care to elaborate why it is "very bad design."

  • Blackberry's OS is a powerfull OS and Blackberry leap is with newest upgrade with blackberry blend,blackberry assistant etc. Wating for it

  • Bad design

  • As I know BlackBerry OS can run all or most of android apps and games.

  • After switching from blackberry, I'm still drawn back to it especially to this amazing 5" display and a wonderful battery life... With android app, what else...!!!

  • What is the difference between Blackberry Z30 and Leap?

  • the performance and apps numbers are questionable

  • What is the difference between Z3 and Leap?

  • More and more I feel drawn to BB and their new OS. My girlfriend has a Q5 and after the latest update to 10.3.1 the phone seems to be more and more efficient (battery lasts longer, icons are better, home screen is awsome..you name it). Now, on 10.3.1 besides BB world you have Amazon apps and on top of that you can evan install android apps (through google play). What mode could you want from a phone: it has security, good life battery and all the application you could possibly desire. For the past month, I am looking at BB devices (OS 10) and I want to buy one such device. This "LEAP" announcement was like love at first sight. As I am not a guy who plays games on his phone, therefore 1.5Ghz dual core and 2Gb RAM seems more than enough considering that I know how fluid this phone/OS is. The notification bar should be a MUST for everyone and BB has done more than adequate regarding this. BRAVO BlackBerry - excelent job John S. Chen!

  • very bad design

  • Not every phone are supposed to be high end

  • waiting for it

  • nice phone ...

  • Ooppps...its stil in 2012....
