    Now that's a detailed review.

    Btw, @Paraliotis3, fyi, it's 'thread', not 'threat', there's a big difference.
    This is even more detailed: 8 lol

    White Notification LED is ok, it's large enough. Multi-colour would have been nicer but it is not a deal killer for me.
    Agreed. I was dreading the white led, but it works. Battery is a bit on the poor side, but I have a work charger so it's not too bad. The biggest pet peeve for myself is the little pins that you drag to highlight words etc to copy / delete. On BB10 they were longer and easier to use. Hate highlighting something on this.

    That's pretty nitpicky though.

    Overall 8/10. 9/10 with better battery. 10/10 with BB10 hahaha

    Battery is pretty good, about same as my Z30 was or a bit better
    I'm not nitpicking on your words here, but I have a question. Why is it that Z30 owners used to say how awesome their battery life was, and lately I've heard a lot of people referencing DTEK's battery being about the same or a bit better, but stating it's simply 'ok'.

    I've seen this on several occasions though, just confused is all.

    I was a Z30 user and now I have a Dtek50. The Dtek50 is NOT as good as the Z30, but it's OK. I used to get 12+ hours with my Z30. My Dtek50 gets about 9 to 10.
    Everyone should compare it with the Z10! The Dtek50 would shine!!
    It's all about what you compare it to.

    EXACTLY. It's a matter of perspective. And for some idiotic reason, many people on this site seem to be comparing the DTek50 to the iPhone 6 and Samsung S7, and not another 299$ off contract phone. Although I'll admit I have some gripes about this phone, it does work well and meets my needs for sure.

    I own Z30 and going to change to DTEK 50.
    Is it worth doing comparing speed of every day work and ergonomics?

    The Dtek50 feels good in the hand. It's quite a bit lighter and thinner than the Z30. The phone's performance itself is fine. There are no issues with it. The screen is bright and sharp, and all of the buttons are where they should be.
    The only challenges I had were with Android itself, NOT the phone.
    I think this is a really good phone to transition from BB10 to Android.

    You do realize those 3 button are an Android thing right? You can't just get rid of them.

    What? There a coded graphic. Probably an ASCII set. Any one could easily be the berries and a other be Chen 's face. Lol.
    It's just a place to press.

    Not wanting to argue it's but -1 for white-only led. Minus one for keyboard without number row and ' on main KB. Minus one for not be able to remove some of the garbage apps.
    Plus one because I use it more than I did my Passport!
    That's an 8.
    Would have rather seen it on a Zen.

    I like my DTEK50 just as much as my Priv. Battery is a 9 everything else is about like my priv. I do at times try to slide the keyboard out like my priv lol. I don't even use my BlackBerry 10 phones now.

    I love my BB Classic, and like my DTEK50. For me the DTEK50 is too light weight, and the battery is turning out to be a little disappointing in comparison to the Classic. And of course I miss the PKB--so I am waiting for the DTEK70. I actually really dislike the lightness of the phone--seems to fly out of my hand easily. I never ever dropped my Classic, but I have dropped the DTEK a few times already.

    The dtek50 is not good as Z30, with BlackBerry OS. The text Cursor and original Fonts are not good.

    It's a 9 out of 10 for me. Love the phone and glad I got it. Was listening to a few songs last night I had downloaded with just the phone speakers and it sounded amazing. Didn't give it a 10 as I'm still not sure of the camera, maybe I need to play around with the settings.
