    BlackBerry DTEK60: Erste Pressebilder und ein relativ g�nstiger Preis - WinFuture.de

    Which likely translates to $549-599 USD.

    EDIT: Actually Nov 11 seem to make no sense. It's Remembrance Day in Canada, though it's a bank and government only holiday.

    EDIT 2: Article seems to have updated date to October 11.

    $599 US was my guess so looks like I might be close

    Well it is cheaper than the Moto Z and has a headphone jack... so it got that going for it.

    I just hope they didn't skimp out on the warranty like they did for the DTEK50. That actually would be a big sell over Lenovo.

    $599 hmm. That's a tad steep but let's see what the phone has to offer once released.

    I hope it's not that price. It'll be DOA if it's that much. C'mon BlackBerry don't screw this up!!

    Well it is the cheapest amongst the non-Chinese brands despite it is a Chinese built phone, so it's not TOO bad actually.

    Moto Z - $899 CAD (while it does have the modules thingy and 64GB)
    HTC 10 - $999 CAD (for 32GB only!!)
    HTC A9 - $649 CAD (for a 617, yes, same specs as the DTEK50)
    Sony Xperia X Performance - $699 (closest competitor, but it actually has 1GB less memory and no fingerprint sensor)

    I mean sure it's overpriced compared to OnePlus, Huawei and ZTE but still. If BlackBerry doesn't cut the warranty like it did for the DTEK50, I don't mind paying a wee bit more. Dealing with BlackBerry's warranty service is heck lot better than sending a phone overseas for repair to OnePlus.

    scares me to think how much the mercury will cost...
    although it does have specs approaching flagship level so i guess its reasonable compared how much the priv was initially.

    This says it was for October 11. So maybe then? But I would think there would be a bigger lead up. Maybe not though.

    Nothing in any other country than Canada. But as a Canadian it is an important day for Canadians. So saying that it would not be a great day to market or push a new product. The phone would get zero news coverage as most coverage that day would be to those who died for our freedom.

    Comprend� ???!

    Actually not so much the news coverage, but some companies got into a PR disaster for promoting sales on that day. BlackBerry being a Canadian company might not want to deal with this.

    Retailers face backlash after offering Remembrance Day sales - Toronto | Globalnews.ca

    Either way, moot point now that the article updated to October.

    I should have added this above as well and rightfully so for the backlash.

    Great if October 11th though!

    $699 CDN is $529 US. So it probably will be $499 as most have predicted. Great price.

    Was just going to post this!
    Yes $499 is more than perfect for this phone.
    Plus October 11 seems plausible

    I'm Canadian and don't see why its a big deal to not release the phone that day anyways, you can remember soldiers and go buy a phone on the same day. Not a big deal, I still, probably have to go to work that day anyways lol

    Anything over $500 is probably too steep, at least until BlackBerry can claw back a larger share of the market than the 0.003% they have currently.

    This 820 is likely a lower binned version of the one used in the S7 and Note 7. Fairly common for "flagship killers" from China.
