    Good job on design and performance of dtek60. This morning I got look at dtek70 and I was not happy. Particularly with the top design. The square design at top reminds me of Hondas from 1980s and must be changed. People don't want to carry square phones anymore and I'm not sure why that will not drill through your thick heads. I always get made fun of my passport because of the square design, and if you want me to really consider you for dtek70 then you must change the top design. No one cares if will look too close to iphone with pkb, all phones are converging to iphone like design.

    If you continue with this 1980s square design I guarantee your sales will suffer like Priv, classic, passport, etc. You need to get with TIME and change. Stop getting stuck in 80s and 90s.

    Don't worry nothing you've seen came from BlackBerry. What someone says or thinks they might have seen six months ago, is unlikely to represent the final production model of the Mercury to be built by a partner, if there ever is one.

    Basing purchase decisions on one or two renders isn't sound; wait for the phone to exist first.

    If you want to believe what you saw in pics is/was the Real device, then you have to similarly trust those people who claim to have seen it in person and say that its a beautiful device :P

    In a project like this there are multiple concepts, designs, mock-ups, prototype and test devices. Even if someone said they say "it" six months ago, what "it" represented then, and what a final product might be, with a yet unnamed partner, aren't likely to be the same.

    You "saw" it, physically as a phone, or you saw a posted render of a hypothetical phone?

    Please reply.

    You are bugged for having a square phone? Perhaps you have a low self esteem to let that bother you. Don't be like everyone else, be different and show off that square phone.
    When people see my ''square'' Passport, friends or not they are always amazed by how different and amazing it is. One of the best, if not the best smartphone in the world!!

    Passport and Priv won the red dot award. I get compliments all the time on the Passport Silver Edition. I would disagree and say the hundreds of pebble-looking android rectangles look bad. And iPhone is boring. I guess you think conformity is a fashion.

    That's not a leak of information from BlackBerry, it's a rehash of unsubstantiated rumors that have been around for months.

    I don't care about being made fun of...I care about perception of blackberry phones...it affects stock prices. Better looking and widely accepted phones result in better sale and better bottom line for bbry.

    It's not what I think..its what majority of people think that matters. We can all carry weird looking devices but our purchases don't really matter to bbry revenue.

    Square phones are the way to go! Who wants a slab?! Now that I've used the Passport I could never go back to a slab even if it was 10 feet long! Square screen is amazing for reading docs, browsing websites etc

    not sure about dtek 70 - chinese might be different in terms of prototype how close resemblance to the actual shippable unit. Normally, form fit function, you want a skin over but not eye catching... just look at the prototype iphone left over at bar in california few years back... ugly is ok as long as you can test functionality (for beta test). concept phone (3D model) can have many variance.. depend upon target market and trend, change can be made on a flight... once the tooling is completed, that is done deal (change would be costly)... do you know you see is the model or unit submit to carrier for testing?
