a rebranded alcatel idol 4 basically, except the software. i hope their upcoming keyboard model is worth the wait.

>USB not centered
Into the trash it goes.
IF THAT VERTICAL PASSPORT CONCEPT DOESN'T BECOME REAL, CANADA IS DEAD

>a blackberry phone
>with no physical keyboard
>running android
what did they mean by this?
>>55865826
its for companies with normie employees who would cry if they can't use snapchat on their company phones.
Looks very sexy tbhfam

doesn't it look too long?

A good way to cut costs on production.

It's for all normies, really. BB10 will be losing Facebook and WhatsApp support pretty soon, and that wouldn't sit right with about 95% of millennials. Not that they use Blackberries often, but still - m-muh apps!
And side-loading .apks is rocket science, apparently.

fuck me that looks so good

You like long-phone?
Yikes.
>>55866216
yeah desu
the long form factor looks like it'll actually be great for web browsing and media in comparison to the passport, so im down
>>55866247
1:1 should be actually better for web browsing.
Headphone jack at bottom?
>>55866216
yeah, it's long enough to view a web page on without having to zoom or scroll constantly
i can also shove it up my arsehole
A rebrand? What's the point then?

>And side-loading .apks is rocket science, apparently.
And for the rest that isn't rocket science it's fucking chore to keep them updated.

Saving money on design development. Also saving money on manufacturing, because Alcatel just keep running the same assembly line, and simply puts a different logo on their product.
Berry's cellphone division is not doing too well. They are trying to make it profitable.

It's 300$, the specs are good, and the hardware is savable.
The convenience key looks neat too.
Blackberry can't make hardware anymore, it's too expensive.

Semi-rebrand. Hardware is similar, but not the same(same internals, different keys on the side, different back)
instead of Alcatels bloatware you get actually useful blackberry shit, and some stuff for more secure boot.
It's also the cheapest blackberry in like 6 years.
