BlackBerry Motion - User Reviews

  • Hello.Of course that BB released every month security path for their phones,because Blackberry is know for security and privacy.But the Motion is nearly a 2 year old phone,and for a long support,you must the latest BB phone,which are Key2 and Key2 LE,both keyboard phone.Thank you.

  • Does Blackberry have patch updates for their phones??

  • I wonder if this phone will be updated to android 9

  • It looking good and nice body design. But I feel the single sim slot as a draw back of the phone.

  • Hello.Depend on what you need.Both phones are for productivity focus and has a great build quality.If you like the keyboard it's better for you to go on to the Key2,but also the Motion has great virtual keyboard and has a bigger screen,5'5 inch display.Don't forget that this 2 phones runs android,so you can access to all the application.Thank you.

  • BlackBerry Motion or BlackBerry KEY2?

  • Sounds like you got a dodgy phone, can't you get your phone co to replace or repair or refund you for your problems with the phones. I've had my passport for 2 years now and battery life still great and cameras not the best in the world but it still does a decent job though.

  • TBH it doesn't matter about the rom size as you set the ext sdcard up as adopted internal storage. The phone sees the ext card and the internal 32gb storage all as one storage block and it means that apps are installed onto and ran from the external card too. Since android 6 marshmallow you've been able to do it I had my priv setup that way and it worked like a dream. Some manufacturers block you from doing this in order to sell phones with larger internal storage but BB have been very good in allowing you to use the ext card like this but also keeping the phone secure. So buy the motion of you want the bigger screen and waterproofing and when you setup your ext SDCard the phone will ask you do you want to use it as external or internal storage. Choose the latter and your sorted. Hope this helps.

  • By 2 days of heavy use, does it include playing some games?

  • Owned for a year, phone works great. probably the best BB I've owned. Battery and camera comments I've read are waaayyyy off. I charge my phone once every 2 days with heavy use. no complaints. Camera takes great pics and vids. Love the Locker app and DTEK security features. If you care about your privacy, which not a lot of young dumb kids do, this is THE phone for you.

  • I got the Priv and passport. Never again. Both phones fail miserably. While great machine concepts the battery life on them lasts good at first within 6 months it totally begins to die fast. Was curious about this but I’ll stuck with my Z30

  • Hi evolve X is not available in Amazon and I could see in other site that launching date is April 19 in India

  • After 6 months, the back camera does not work correctly. Very fuzzy. Battery life is about half of what it was. Never again.

  • In a way I agree with you that the system on the Passport was superior, but I had to go with the times where Android is so popular, so I had to buy a Motion. The BB10 was the best ever to my mind.

  • I moved from the Passport to the KeyTWO and now the Motion. I find the Motion much more user friendly than the KeyTWO with a larger screen and keyboard. In fact it is a relief as I was always making typos unless I got my fingernail to handle the physical keys. A final word for the Motion. When BlackBerry lost market share to iPhone, I believe they had the incentive to make the best phone possible to try and recapture sales. The Passport is unique in better screen size for serious work and a unique physical keyboard which had less characters and involved some clever programming. I only dispensed with this glorious phone because it had few Android apps.

  • As far as I understand there is no FM radio on the north american versions.

  • i buy motion and when i try to insert the sim only one is inserted and the secand no can any one help in that

  • Hello .BB Evolve X has been released since August in India.This device is only available for the indian market.If you like to buy it,you must search on amazon,if this device can be shipp to your country.Overall if you like BB with the touchscreen ,go for BB Motion,which is a great device and you can buy worldwide.Also you have available worldwide 2 new keyboard phone,like BB Key2 and Key2 LE.Thank you.

  • Can anyone pls confirm when will evolve X will be launched globally and in INDIA. Iam great fan of BB

  • I've had this phone now for 6 months. No complaint yet. It's an Android. I invested in this phone because the things I wanted were great and the things I didn't care for weren't. It's display or camera aren't worth writing home about. It's battery, OS, keyboard, screen size is wicked for me. It's really tough picking new cell phones these days... I don't have a regret eh.

  • HAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Why is it not available here in the Philippines? There's a huge market waiting for Blackberry Android phones.

  • hi,im live in india,i cannot buy that mobile....

  • Hi, I used my Motion all over the planet, sandy, salty, wet and freezing conditions, even under water filming. No issues whatsoever ! Wifi always functions excellently. So don't worry : super phone !

  • Hi, unfortunately not, no FM receiver, only over Wifi.

  • Very nice phone. I use it for over 4 months. Good for Security. Value For Money. Fingerprint sensor is very fast and reliable. Battery is PERFECT (lasts 3 days with medium usage) , Camera is amazing , Recently updated to Android 8. I am very happy with that. My BlackBerry Motion replaced an iPhone 5S. I totally recommend it. 10/10 *I would prefer a 2 sim cards and 1 slot for sd card and not the hybrid one , because I use sd card all the time and I cannot use my phone as a dual sim..

  • Hello sir.BB Motion is one of the best touch screen phone that was made.For the issues that you mentioned,i did not heard,anything about that.The phone is a truly machine,that has a great build quality,big battery,and the security features.Thank you.

  • I like this fone one of the best from blackberry tcl

  • I'm planning to buy this phone on Christmas. Can anyone tell me the issues about this phone please.. I searched the internet and found out that it has somewhat call issues and has difficulties in connecting to wifi..

  • Yes ,it's really really good

  • I don't understand you.

  • is BB Motion's screen better than Gorilla screen.

  • you have booth, security and privacy on apples ios, dont know what you are talking about

  • yes, does it have embedded fm radio?

  • Does Motion have embedded fm radio? Thanks.

  • Dtek60 is the one ever made by BlackBerry.

  • Hi, If you're not a big fan of gaming... 32-rom is enough. Buy yourself a sd-card and you should be ok. Regards,

  • down to BB motion and Keyone , Motion has water resistant, , but only 32G ROM , while Keyone has 64G Rom but no water resistant. Any comment for both ? good performance , good battery life for daily used , GPS, not a fan of camera and not a fan for gaming. Btw 32G ROM sufficient?

  • we would like to say blackberry one of the best Quality Product in the World & here we can see the improvement like Finger scanner & Face Scanner . blackberry need to improve the Android Version like Others .

  • Hello Yes,the finger print reader also works as a trackpad to scroll the pages.Thank you.

  • is the fingerprint sensor also works as trackpad?

  • You are absolutely right, BB OS was the best OS plus Z10 is the best device ever made

  • As a dtek 60 user,and in all honesty. What would you tell me about the dtek60?

  • Using an 800 series processor would negate the point of a long lasting battery. 800 series CPU are battery hogs and I wouldn't want to see it on a phone like this. It's not a gaming machine and hopefully never will be.

  • Real pitty Blackberry lost the plot. We are now stuck with the Google spy machine and Apple eco system. All because the nerds wanted more game apps. At one point Blackberry OS was far superior to bother Google and Apple, but was shot down by the nerds for lack of apps - now look what we are stuck with - no security and no privacy.

  • As long as Blackberry is using Android OS, I will not purchase this phone. The best operating system is BB10, it is so sad that nobody value the precious of this OS. It can be improved more to put Android and Apple OS together in the lost part of the list. Only recently, Apple discovered the smooth operation of buttonless phone in IphoneX which blackberry introduced this concept in 2013. Using Z10, imagine that i can know from far distance if my phone recieved an email or miss call or whatsup by only checking rhe blinking led if it is Red/Green/Blue. Name other phone that can do that ! In IphoneX, you cannot even attach a file when you reply to a message also it is very annoying when you open another Tab in the Safari Brouser. It is also worst when you want to re-open an application. Blackberry ~! Don't Disappear , We love you

  • That brand is garbage with terrible quality and performance.

  • From the side it looks like an upside-down Huawei Ascend P6

  • Been using a PRIV since it came out, its starting to have quirks tho, Motion is nice but, SnapD 835 with that battery would of been sublime .Always behind the times, you guys have to stop shooting yourself in the foot !! A lot of great phones coming out of china right now for half the prices of everybody else including BB. I'm sure TCL can and is doing good pricing, so why are BB phones so expensive ?!? for what they offer !! You know, if you sell 2 phones for $780 each or 10 for $480 each, which one of them two offers you think makes more profit ?!

  • Still using Z10, the best

  • Still use BlackBerry passeport. But how can I update whatsapp ?

  • No. BB is here to stay. My favourite mobile phone brand

  • agree with you, the battery still works, the best I've had have.

  • Still using Priv )

  • Yeah... they were saying they want something better. BB wouldn't waste the thousands of dollars it would take to sue that person and lose. You should watch your threats, you could get sued.

  • And I still use Z10, the best

  • Still using BlackBerry passport..

  • "You can be sued"? LOL Do all people from US say the same thing about suing each other? LOL

  • Come for the BlackBerry.....stay for the Hub. Rock the boat....Don't rock the boat baby....rock the Boat...

  • At least they have to bring SD 660 mobile to the market. BB is slowly dying ????

  • 9months with the motion im very satisfied no problems wath so ever. Ty bb

  • BB with sd 821 or sd 835 is not there yet. It's too late BB !!!! Waiting for a better option....

  • The BB motion phone is one of the highest phone in blackberry I should know because I'm an product consultant manager so I know blackberry phones well you should becarfull with facts you say you could get sued

  • BB Motion is ok for mid rangers but I still wonder why they can't bring high end phones !!!!

  • Obviously my friend. Those who never ever had this device they can speak stupidity like this. I am a die hearted fan of this device and i will continue it.

  • bbos is amazing compared to any other os.I love it so much,and I'm waiting for new bbos

  • Hello . Later this year 2 new keyboard devices !

  • I'm waiting for next generation of black berry. when will is I can see?

  • I chose the BB Motion strictly for the security and the suite of BB apps, the phenomenal battery life help my choice as well. I've got a Samsung Note 5, but I didn't enjoy the android experience at all, so I moved back to BB10 in a Passport ( excellent device ). Unfortunately, I've come to the conclusion that it is time to move on as the support and apps for BB10 seems to diminish on a daily basis, or so it seems. When I got the chance I went to have a first hand look at, and played around with the BB Motion. Even though I find the BB motion to be a little on the large side of things ( I think a Z30 form factor would be the perfect size ), I found it very easy to use and I really appreciated having the familiar apps on board. Some may think it's over priced, but I value the security and reliability of a Blackberry device.

  • There is no FM Radio in the europe version integated.

  • Yes Xiaomi much Cheaper but you forget about Security System Blackberry has been known the best Security in the world

  • You forgot to say it's waterproof. No other BlackBerry has that.

  • This phone looks worthwhile, but Xiaomi has the same spec sheet for half the price (Mi A1).I haven't seen the review yet but the price might fool me into thinking it's too expensive. Then again, spec sheets can blind you.

  • what?

  • Is so why are you writing on Blackberry motion, go and buy your iphone.

  • Are U kiddin’?

  • Hi blackberry, what are you thinking about? Blackberry Motion with low spec for hi-end user? Haha.. Even Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro with better spec only for about 200 EUR. So, whose gonna buy BB Motion with low spec for that hi-price, about 430 EUR? LOL

  • aproximattely like samsung s9, but it is 2 times cheaper than s9

  • I have been Moto user since started android. My last BB device was Q20. I have used almost all model which were with BB Physical keypad. No I switched to BB Motion. Few things are bad but over all a best. Firstly I will share bad Front Cam Missing Stereo Speakers Lack of Accessories Old chipset Fast Charge Best I found is Battery, remarkable even Sound Quality on call Diamond Quoted Glass Continued Notification Light BB Same Keyboard BlackBerry Theme Cool Display No Heating issues No Crashes of apps Handy device, not too heavy or filthy Good Rare Cam and its Video Recording. Dedicated Key The most unique feature is "Privacy Shade" Its not the best but I can say a good option. Price should be a bit lower. I can say honestly that I am happy with this.

  • Looking at Blackberry's recent offerings just invokes even more nostalgia, back when the Bold was considered to be one beast of a smartphone... And BBOS will never be forgotten, so many good memories :)

  • It's not the greatest, but it's not the worst.

  • Thanks

  • I own dtek60. MY biggest complaint about it is the voice quality. I was considering to change to Motion but this is the wrong news. The first function is to use as a handset, anyway.

  • its not BlackBerry, its a TCL device. blackberry have to develop its own BBOS for Upcoming new devices. we all love BBOS,

  • Black Berry was known for Safety and Privacy on highest scale in business world. Why they trying so hard to be made in the same store?

  • You are absolutely right

  • I bought the mobile three weeks ago after using z10 for years. This mobile is not a blackberry. It is a TCL. Battery barely stay for 1 day and a half though I m charging from laptop USB. Fast charge stays for more than one hour. The camera and the camera software are very bad compared to the z10. The phone dialler is very small and not handy so I decided to use third party. End of the day, but any android device and download the bb keyboard. Don't imagine that your life would be better using this device. OS10 is the best and BlackBerry Co. Should have invested in enhancing the development kind instead of moving to android world. They lost all. OS 10 users don't buy any bb android based device.

  • Only if you take a lot of videos. It does nothing for photos.

  • Hi, Knowing that the camera doesn't have the OIS (image stabilizer). Is this option really important regarding the choice of a cellular phone? Thanks,

  • Black Berry Motion has dual sim card feature

  • Hello Sir, I am also BB fan, kindly share your Blackberry Motion experience. I am planing to purchase one. Thanks n Regards Shad

  • yes Whats App is working like all other apps on android phones

  • I have been using Blackberry since 10 years, for the past two it was the Priv, which I absolutely loved. I just got the Motion, as the updates for Priv are no longer available. IIt is a very strange device: a big phone with small text! Very Chinese (cheap) looking and feeling and very unpleasant to use . If you have been using Priv, never go for the Motion, it is several steps back from the Priv and the most recent models of Blackberry. Perhaps the Keyone would be a better option.

  • I love BLACKBERRY mobiles with bb10 os not android lol phone

  • any body can't my voice call recording have option this set??please tell me have this option BlackBerry Mobile Model Number

  • Hello Go for the BB motion,because it's better than the DTEK line.Great battery life(last at least 2 days),good build quality.

  • I had the DTEK60 and it was amazing. Go with that over the 50.

  • Pls can anyone here help me with a useful info about a dtek50. Its battery life in particular and any other info. Was thinking of buying it

  • exelent phone, Im a blackberry FAN, there is nothing better than this, flawless batery life , great speed, of course can not be compare with Iphone, BUT...... still a blacberry .....love it

  • Hey guys, i am a blackberry fan I've been using bb from bold to classic but now am using sony XZ, its a good device with 64 gb and 23 camera but i never felt like its a 23 camera, also the volume of this device is so bad despite there is two speakers on this sony XZ and any one using this version can understand what am taking about, am confused about having this Motion or not i liked it alot but having some doubts about the sound quality and volume cause it has only one speaker, can any one help me please with this or make it clear for me....

  • have radio FM ? someone confirm please.

  • well you know what a fan or not a fan , that only proves that you go with the first thing that you will think is better , but ios is totally a crap , and be honest you cannot buy one phone that has ios I really don't think so!!! so well , yeah bye q0_0p

  • as an old fan of BB, i think BB new phones are not competent anymore..

  • On the other hand, major new OS versions are less certain. One device (the Priv) got one major OS upgrade (Lollipop to Marshmallow), but owners were disappointed when it didn't also get upgraded to Nougat. Some devices (such as the DTEK series) have never received and new OS upgrades at all. So you really need to separate OS upgrades and security patches out into two different questions. They are better than most OEMs at keeping up to date with security. They may be disappointing with OS upgrades.

  • Yes. Since switching over to Android from their previous proprietary OS, they have regularly published monthly security patches, most often less than a week after Google's public disclosure. However, if you bought your device through a carrier, then your carrier might delay the release of security patches somewhat. (Blackberry/TCL has, on a very few occasions, missed a month. On the other hand, sometimes they release fixes for some security flaws even faster than Google. For example, the Android-powered Blackberry devices were they very first Android devices in the world to receive a vendor-supported fix for KRACK.)

  • What about the Whatsapp, working or NOT

  • I would love to have a BB but where iam in Zambia ,nothing now comes ,,,,,,especially this one

  • Yes, the BBD100-6 version of the Motion has dual SIM

  • Any users pls confirm is it dual sim?

  • I've been a BB loyalist for years. But BB on Android is a no-no for me. I better port to iOS.

  • It's not likely.

  • for sure, im bb loyal user and customer, however i dont want android at all. come up with passport flagship with original bb os that runs android as slave

  • Happy New year BlackBerry. I wish to see a new BlackBerry flagship this year a new passport mabe whit BB11 os , and fingerprint and a dualcamera . BlackBerry remain my best phone , but never with android.

  • Very good comparation . I hope to see this someone front BB.

  • BB Motion forsure

  • Yes. Spot on. I have been a BB user since 2001 and don't see that changing anytime soon. Not interested in stupid candy crush or any other games. This is a secure work tool.

  • If you compare the sales figures of say Ford motor company and Ferrari you will see Ford global sales are almost 100% more than Ferrari, so does this mean Ferrari make a bad car?

  • Android and secure don't go hand in hand

  • Wonderful comments... For a while, I thought I was the last bb die hard fan who existed.....now I know I am not alone..#bbrocks

  • Still waiting for Gsmarena review, I will buy it depending on the battery endurance test

  • Does blackberry devices gets regular android security patch update and OS update?

  • blackberry motion vs htc u11 life?

  • BlackBerry Motion very good if... Gorilla Glass 4 Snapdragon 630 Display 18:9 ratio Android 8.1 USB On-The-Go

  • Great phone.cant wait to get one ....

  • Thats great with battery performance as u told its nice

  • Ohh my.. That big bezel, you can even add another fingerprint scanner.

  • No radio but strong battery. Last for complete 24 hrs.

  • Specific type of customers that doesn't know how to use their keyboard to type correct english and i don't need to go to bb shop to explain me anything because i bought one of their "fancy schmancy" phones. As for the rest of your speech no comment really.

  • And what does that have to do with anything? Ask anyone at BB Mobile and they'll openly tell you this is a niche device designed for a specific type of customer so I'm really struggling as to why you think it's cool to deride that and why you think you're hot stuff for coming up with pointless statistics. Thank you for what, exactly?

  • All people that still defend Blackberry phones if you are not "Electronic Committee" work for this company please read the news to know that Their sales do not exceed 2% Thank You

  • Biggest bezels in a phone released in 2017, ever.

  • I also had this issue...but got my device replaced and now no more issues at all

  • I had there cellphone called (9300 curve ) the most disgusting cellphone i hold with its price back then i could buy (nokia x6) with the wide difference in specifications bad quality and surrounded with bad rubber material The most failing company in the history of the planet i don't understand how this company still in the business any way

  • See many of you that comment here arent or havent used a blackberry in ur life.. U cant compare a bb to an iphone or a chinese phone.. Comparing it to a iphone itself is downgrading the bb. Those who wanna say its expensive compared to a certain please use a iphone and a blackberry and the certain cheap priced phone for a week and then decide. Those who have used the bb 7 and bb 10 os wont b impressed with the iphone x os or even an android O os as all these os are inspired from a blackberry os 10. Im proud to say that im a bb fan an have been using blackberry since the bb bold generation and for the past 8 years and still goin on.. Love this new era phones from bb keyone and motion certainly gives Ray of hopes for us fans.

  • BlackBerry Motion Pictures... :D

  • More RAM less speed is mainland marketing, even the scale of china is big but still to achieve xiaomi etc price they downgrade some part quality, but put big RAM so looks like good value but not for long run

  • why do u need more ROM? uv been given an option of an SD crd slot,aint tht enough? some complains are none sensical.... tht device handles games well,runs smooth ..etc..4GB ram is enough infact ul realise u seldom use qll the ram in ur daily activities...

  • Pls Go to any BB shop only for touch not to buy. Hold any Blackberry Phone in your hand, watch your own eyes and go back home. Think what is Blackberry.

  • So true. You spoke directly from my heart! :)

  • U forgot to mention that their "phone" also needs to cook a great dinner and drive them to their work....

  • It seems people want a camera with sim card. Its not that. BB is a class phone for class ppl. Very hurt to see ppl comparing it with xiaomi....they need 8gb ram 128gb rom 24+24mp dual back camera with 12+12 front camera and ya it must have options to control satellite staying at home using india jio network...Price must not exceed 5000 rupee (100 USD) oh ya battery?? Battery of a car is ok.

  • Fantastic phone with the added security that BlackBerry is known for. I go to try one recently and was pleasantly surprised with how nice the phone is. I am still on the Priv, but if I decide to upgrade this year, it will definitely be the Motion.

  • Please just buy a Xiaomi Mi A1. Look at the specs and price and you will see why. Same specs but Xiaomi is like 250 euro which is 200 euro cheaper + better software maintenance. Upgrade to Android O/8 coming in couple of weeks. Blackberry is just wanting to get some money with high margins don't buy this ever!

  • Well said... I agree with you !

  • I bought this device (the dual sim version). Evrithing is fine exept people are teling me that they do not hear me very well....

  • please i am in china,i really like this phone but i do not know where to buy it

  • 99% of these comments don't make any sense, sounds like children just wanna complain. People are forgetting that some of the apple apps, were found to be sending all your personal info back to china, noting much was posted in the press, and here's a little side note for the kids. Apple was secretly trying to buy BB OS system. If you really look at all the phone commercials all they sell is very expensive camera and apps. when it comes down to it, a reliable phone consists of a strong signal tough body, with privacy. I had every type of phone from apple to Samsung over priced, the best phone by far was and still is BB, and that it was being built in North America, I'm not a big fan of BB contracting their phones too China, had a feeling that was going to happen when they hired the new CEO! But I'm still a BB fan will always buy a BB because of the what the phone offers me. So if u want a expensive camera go buy another model.

  • I am proud of been a Blackberry Motion owner.4 Blackberry phones till now I used. Happy customer. Excellent workout.

  • It did with many iPhone 5,6,7,8 huge double chin

  • Keyone and Motion attract some the of the old users of blackberry to think again about blackberry. But I think they need to do more about slimness of body, design, full screen display or combination with keypad (Like Keyone),increase RAM&ROM and top of that battery MAH should be 5000plus. I am waiting for these specifications to buy blackberry at any price.

  • well very product

  • I am 2 weeks now with this phone. It's an excellent phone with a lot of native Blackberry features. I love it. It's fast, very comfortable and washable! :) It looks solid and serious. It works fine.

  • 625 snapdragon? really? worthless.

  • exactly like Z10 + waterproof and removable battery

  • I & all others may prefer a new BB phone like this: Design : Z10 design almost.

  • oh my god!!! i cannot stand those bezels!!! they are off-putting!!!

  • Blackberry you have just created a phone of awkward size. If you want your sales back you need to go after the big boys with something extra special. The Motion is not the model to compete and it will only get a few die hards to purchase. There are so many mid range phones out there that people will buy ahead of this. Go for the gold!!!!

  • Hi guys. I dont know if you ever had Blackberry phone. Good old but let down os10 was the best experience that you may have. All flamboyant ioses and androids were nowhere near. If bb kept same stability, same logical menus, hub, keyboard and other original bb features than you dont need Snapdragon 835, all other high specs because this phone will give to you good reliable service, office extension, communication possibilities. If you are up to gaming... Buy device with at least 10" screen.

  • another SnapDragon 625?? owhhh mannnn....

  • BlackBerry Motion USB On-The-Go ?

  • the back looks nice but the front...not that much im just wonderng when snapdragon is gonna let a53 go!

  • That big chin.. Ooww emmm,.. It won't fly.

  • Blackberry logo embedded on home button just ruins the look of the phone design.

  • Full hd 1080p ....huh .... better if Qhd display

  • As, I have seen at German site,yes,all models have FM radio.

  • Wat about sony then??? Xperia xzs.. one of the fastest phone uses 4gb ram...

  • Follow-up: BBD100-6 will be dual SIM, most likely hybrid dual (ie, one SIM plus either microSD or secondary SIM but not both). All others will most likely be single SIM plus microSD only.

  • As posted earlier, BBD100-6 (sold as one of two models available in EMEA regions) will be dual-SIM. Some other models (such as those sold in North America) models will most likely be single-SIM.

  • why u need more RAM??

  • Hello, do the blackberry motion have inbuilt FM radio 📻. Please check and confirm. Thanks

  • I think so ridiculous for blackberry, all brands try to make 6 or 8 RAM but blackberry try to stay in 4GB RAM, I think manager blackberry still stupid

  • It is dual sims. Sure. But hybrid.

  • Both, depending on where you buy it and which model you buy. This tells me there will be at least 5 different models: BBD100-1 will be sold in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia Pacific. It is explicitly single-SIM. BBD100-2 will be sold in Canada, Latin America, and throughout North America on the open market. Because this is the variant destined for Canada, I am confident that it will be single-SIM, although it doesn't explicitly say so on this page. BBD100-3 will be sold in the USA by Sprint. It will be a CDMA variant, and customers will only need to use a SIM card for accessing LTE Internet. It will most likely also be single-SIM. BBD100-5 will be sold in China. I could only guess about its SIM card configuration. BBD100-6 will be sold in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia Pacific in a dual-SIM configuration.

  • FM radio Pleas

  • This is dual sim or single sim anybody is knows please conform

  • NOOO no single sim pls

  • This device will be sold in Canada via the major carriers. Given the Canadian carriers' business practices, this fact by itself pretty much guarantees that, at the very least, there will be a variant of the device that is single-SIM. Will there also by a dual-SIM variant? Possible, but not certain.

  • Any confirmation it's dual?

  • Check out the internet. A Sd card may be combined with a sim card on one card. The only thing you need is strate hands.

  • I'd buy a priv with dual sim but it does not exist.

  • BB is still a strong company, but they do much of their business with other businesses. That said, the KEYone did have huge popularity in Canada, according to Rogers, the largest (in subscribers) operator in Canada

  • Stop this trend with every new device coming out with the trashcan SD 625 already

  • no qc...sad

  • This phone does not have dedicated memory card slot. It has hybrid card slot. I am disappointed.

  • so in love with its size and structure.for some of who ain't fans of bulky stuff,it will be worth a go for it.

  • shows you know nothing about sears and even less about BlackBerry

  • super mobiles bbm

  • loffer bbm

  • BlackBerry Hub! Excellent app and tool!

  • Mid ranger specs, as any Chinese set 64-4 but even worse internals, only prices way up. BB has nothing to do with this set, it's on contract made. Forget even now!

  • i hope this is not dual sim? yeah?

  • FM radio ?

  • is it Dual Sim ?

  • So would the camera and display on this phone not even be as good as the Priv?

  • Dual sim ??

  • There are a few reviews out there, emphasis on a few, but they're all based on quick hands on experiences at the recent launch and also on pre-production models. Most reviews are based on 10 days+ tests and use on full production models which I would imagine are going on now and we'll probably see the full reviews in the next couple of weeks or so, before the pre-orders are released. If you're looking for reviews ASAP, keep an eye on traditional BlackBerry sites like CrackBerry but most tech type sites will probably have full reviews/hands-on videos a few days after.

  • Details about audio quality and loudspeaker is possible? Thanks!

  • Blackberry is the Sears Canada of the cellphone industry.

  • You can't explain it without using privacy, you just can't. Privacy and security signatures are actually hard-baked into the individual components of the BlackBerry hardware. On top of that, the Android OS has been massaged to be a lot more secure to the point that BlackBerry has the only Android based range of devices to secure the top security ratings of the world's top governments and militaries. This all costs money. Add to that all sorts of additional secure and privacy applications through BB UEM and you have a device that cannot be beaten for privacy and security. If none of that is a big deal to you then this is not a device that will ever interest you. This is a device whose primary customers will be Enterprise, Government and military with some consumer interest thrown in for good measure. I'm guessing that doesn't include you.

  • The blackberry is the only android phone that can not be cracked "till now" that is why you pay more

  • Comparing to the legendary Iphone 8 plus :) which has (67.4% screen-to-body ratio) , Motion is better with its 71%. The Blackberry is a mid range phone with almost half the price of the Iphone 8 plus.

  • Details about loudspeaker and quality sound ?

  • 71% Screen to body ratio ? 32 GB memory ? Limited Color ! Blackberry is now Backberry living in 2008!

  • I hate apple but apple has an advantage i.e. iOS which is owned by Apple and is present only in iPhone. Now tell me what BlackBerry has that others don't except all that privacy they talk about? They had BlackBerry 10 os, they could have enhanced their own os to compete with other major brands but they followed crowd and now BlackBerry is just another android phone and Sony and Nokia also build durable phones with reasonable cost. Why is BlackBerry charging so much money? Explain it without using the term privacy. I am not fan of brands I buy value for money and durable phones.

  • How come there's no dual band for wifi?

  • Average mobile, same plastic back cover, camera f/2.0 horrible, BB goes for cheapest chipset, Gpu, specs below standard, even OPPO f1 is 64/4 camera f/1.9 6" screen, still 290$° BB and Apple have a rod in their necks, to miserably fail, but not compromise on Price, it's is average 15.96% year by year. Still Crib on, state of affairs. In the End this has to Happen, maybe sooner!

  • Hi i have one very important question before i decide to buy . This BBRY Motion Dual Sim Version, does it have a dedicated SD Card Slot? I have a Key One Dual SIM version bought from India. But the only downside on it is that the SD Card Slot is hybrid, that this I have to take out SIM 2 if I want to install SD card. So either one Sim card and SD cars OR two SIM Cards and no SD Card. If BBRY Motion can accommodate 2 SIM Card PLUS SD card at the same time, then I will buy this.

  • Like their design. They dont look like all other phones. Nice phone.

  • is it available in any other colors like white or gold color ?

  • Dual sim ????

  • Dual sim please the work people use dual sim!!!!!!

  • motion looks nice, can't wait 4 it 2 b launched!

  • The Snapdragon 625 supports 4k recording. Your video recording listing should be updated. IPS LCD is interesting... Amoled screens degrade over time, looks like they're really aiming for longevity and durability with this phone.

  • Camera should be 2160 not 1080

  • Very true - it's better than Motion

  • the design is totally horrible... it's unthinkable that Blackberry can continue to sink to the point of falling into the mistakes of the past that cost him his morbid situation today. I expected better but Blackberry disappointed me!

  • it is good phone for those who say it should have lower price tag i'll say apple gives you a shit whit price of 999.99$ and you still buy it! whay that price is ok but when bb pulls price a little bit up you get upset? and hence bb know how to optimize android os and ui is far better than what you think which gives even better ux! just think a little bit and than start judging it!

  • Hello With the snapdragon 625,the battery will last much more ,than the snapdragon 800 and up.I have the BB Keyone since June ,and the battery last at least 2 days,because has the Proccessor 625,which is very good.You don't need e last proccessor,because with this mid-range,is far better.This is the Pros of the Blackberry device,and this price is very reasonable +the security features.With this price ,the company is very competitive,which are much cheaper than other smartphone.

  • No Fast Charging? BB must be joking, it's not 2013

  • i had 3 blackberries, latest was 30. all of them were fantastic. recently i tried s 7 and xiaomi. incomperable. bb 10 is designed much better and more stable. unfortunately did not continue. no matter how good does it look and how good does it feel price is too high. and thats it.

  • it should be dual sim

  • Here's the thing. Android is not well optimized for its hardware like apple. I am sure overtime the OS will lag a bit. Heck even my galaxys7 sees more lag than iphone 6 plus (i use them both and I dont play games on them). So I am pretty sure SD625 wont give a buttery smooth experience.

  • - Big screen - Android 7.1 - Snapdragon 625 - Adreno 506 - Bluetooth 4.2 - NFC - Fast batterry charging + Good battery + Good resolution

  • Come on Blackberry, you still did'nt awake. You are in a competitive world. Even companies like sony and samsung do not sell their products with such specifications, at high price. I am Using Z30. I was using Z10 and Q5. I m a fan of Blackberry mobiles. If you don't change your pricing policy you will lose your customers and have face the fate of Microsoft mobiles.

  • 401 ppi, on a 5.5, 32 GB expandable , 4 GB RAM, water proof and one of the biggest battery .... mmmm

  • Price is high! 500£!!!!

  • Yeah ! Priv is the best ! Large screen + slider keyboard ! :)

  • It's for battery efficiency, 625 is an extremely efficient chipset and reasonably fast. It's for business purposes, not anything graphically intensive

  • BlackBerry Motion USB: USB On-The-Go ??? WLAN: Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n ???

  • There are many good spec device with that same price tag . BB is asking too much for this device nothing pleasant about specs and if they are asking for security features that too is too much. Blackberry should price its product so that they can reach to many peoples . By telling of today , todays mid range devices have greater specs than this

  • Doesn't even have fast charging feature. Even 2.0 is enough for this price.

  • Too costly just for a SD625.

  • Blackberry motion nice looing.

  • just never saw bb put a powerful chipset in their phone. what is wrong with them?! at least give us a sd821

  • Beautiful phone. Am a T-Mobile customer, they release this with 2,4,12 LTE bands and I'll order in a heartbeat.

  • Haters will always hate even if they get the phones for free. If you want a kids phone for gaming, angry birds, candy crush, without needing security then you have plenty of phones to choose from. Leave the Blackberry Secure WORK phones for the grown ups.

  • What's the point buying a midrange BB if it doesn't even have a physical kb? They need to make a "Priv 2"

  • Yea you are right. Like my Skoda fabia has the same 1.4 TFSI with Audi A4.... Because only the "engine" matters for price tag....

  • Rightly said... even i have the same feeling.. BB always mess things up when it comes to pricing. Its high time they realize that there are many competitors in the smartphone market who sell phones with similar features, about 30-50% lesser the price than what BB charges.. They need to stop charging more and try getting profit by volumes.

  • This device may not sell well enough because of its price in contrast of specs but there are many beloved devotee bb fans who is going to buy it anyway .

  • Hehehehhe jalan

  • Wow nice phone

  • Blablabla. Expensive phone.... Useless

  • it has same Snapdragon as MiA1,.. the price is high, it needs to be cheaper actually

  • I actually like the look. Square at the top, rounded at the bottom. I wish that back was carbon fibre, like the old Moto Droid Razr. Just metal with a covering sadly. It costs too much, but I don't hate it.

  • Front looks good back looks ugly as f..k specs compared to price are really bad wonder if someone buy thi thing.

  • Agreed

  • Video camera, should be 4k.

  • I love this phone,i would like the buy this phone

  • finally a simple and nice design with decent specs and price. I would buy this in a heartbeat.

  • why the price is so high for such mediocre specs? it should have been around 300Euros at max. they are lagging so behind than current dominating smart phone makers in terms of looks,hardware,camera etc..etc. BB if u want to return back than do some thing extra ordinary with less price tag.

  • If lighter than a pixel, I'll consider it

  • Thats specs and about 400 euro? Ok, bye.

  • Seems better than the competition... Good waterproofing, great battery...

  • its already dead , stop it !
