I have had the BlackBerry Torch 2 9810, the Z30, the Passport SE, the PRIV, and the Dtek60.
I can say the PROS of the Dtek60 are:
- fast processor
- large memory storage
- lots of Android apps
- very good 21 MP rear camera
- 21MP camera takes wider shots with natural colours.
- very good 8 MP front camera
- takes excellent pictures with either camera, especially with HDR turned on and "focus before shutter" turned on; colours not over-saturated like PRIV.
- decent BlackBerry virtual keyboard
- DTEK security
- big bright 5.5" display
- doesn't heat up as much as PRIV
- great solid metal and glass build
- lighter and thinner than PRIV
- BlackBerry HUB
- great price for high quality
- Good reception / calling
- Good speakers
- headphone port at top of phone
- useful fingerprint scanner to unlock both phone and individual apps
- useful convenience side button
- quick charging with BlackBerry rapid recharger.
- great BlackBerry accessories available for Dtek60 (cases, pocket, holster, chargers, etc.) except no dock / charging stand.
CONS of the Dtek60 :
- I miss the original OS7 and OS10 BlackBerry keyboard for accuracy in multiple languages
- I miss original BlackBerry OS10 clock and alarms.
- I miss the Z30 speakers
- no FM tuner
- no Paratek antenna
- No variable colour message LED
- PRIV and Passport SE had OIS on their rear cameras
- PRIV, Passport SE, Z30, and Torch had unique BlackBerry design/build "DNA."
- Complete BlackBerry accessories, including charging dock, available for PRIV, Passport SE, and Torch.
These are my thoughts.
