There's no denying the fact that BlackBerry (the company formerly known as Research In Motion) has serious problems. Five years ago, everyone from students to housewives to businessmen was willing to pay a lot of money to own a BlackBerry. Three years ago, Android and the iPhone began to make QWERTY phones feel seriously clunky and old-fashioned. Two years ago, we were hoping that the new BlackBerry 10 platform and devices based on it would reinvigorate the company, but ridiculous pricing and questionable decisions at every level destroyed any chance of that happening.

Hardik Panchal (Jun 10, 2014) on Gadgets 360

i am not a die hard fan of BB, as of now I did not cam across it. Definitely at this price band, this kind of features, Mind blowing. And this might be like a MOTO E/G/X for Motorola mobiles. Hope it will help to tightened screw in INDIAN market as well as in global. Waiting for the phone to launch in India. Want to be a first buyer in India............Keeping fingures crossed.
