    I would have far preferred the number keys to the capacitive buttons!

    Sorry but, why? I don't see the need, or desire, to have a 5th row of keys. I would definitely pass on this if it had a 5th row.

    BlackBerry should have long implemented a double click on the QWERSDFXCV keys to type the numbers, so easy...and numbers could be inserted one handed everywhere...

    How about what they already have which is double click the alt key and type away all you want on numbers?

    Too cramped to have 5 row keys. I think 4-row keys are enough. Just remove silver top on Mercury and replace it with the one on the prototype.

    There is no need for the 5th row for numbers only. IF they were to add a 5th row I would see them adding something else symbol wise on top of the numbers. Why try to fix something that isn't broken? Love the BlackBerry PKB just the way it is.

    Please give us the all black option! Would have been really smart to do a num key option for the capacitive bar...maybe they will surprise us with something clever.

    4 rows is all that's needed. I did not like the 3 row solution at all.

    Software buttons hide and sometimes don't come back when you want them. Would make getting out of apps quickly sometimes a pain. No thanks. I'll take consistent behavior...

    Back button for back, Call end for circle, long press call end to end calls, BB button for square.

    give someone $100 and they will complain its not $200. Silver / Black, Black and silver or just black whatever. Three rows, four rows, numbers no numbers...... you don't like it don't buy it!
    BlackBerry's PK is amazing either way they make it and it only takes some adjustment to learn how to get your groove back. I think the phone looks amazing and will do well. Maybe they will make an all black, but in the end it really doesn't matter cause there is usually some kind of case or skin on it so point is mute.

    Yes i know they have that. It's known to you but you would rather double click each button for numbers rather then this? Seems extremely inefficient.

    I don't believe for 1 second that BlackBerry would implement a 5 row keyboard. The amount of times I use the numbers on my phone is massively less than the alphabet keys. That would be a total waste of space most of the time and I feel BlackBerry is smarter than that. I call this fake.

    I like the all black look better...with just three key rows would be awesome. The silver top look makes it seem a bit more premium.

    But software navigation buttons can be customized in Nougat, even could you have 4 of them. I hope BB will activate this on Nougat for PRIV to be able to change order of the 3-Nav-Buttons like I would prefer.

    That's nice and all, but the idea of them not always being there when I might need them still is a turn off for me...

    It's not even a prototype. It's just some guy messing with photoshop. If you look closely, they forgot to erase the real numbers in the w-e-r/s-d-f keys...
