BBMP is doing this right! TCL/BB should take note!
- They announced this device, gave it a beautiful name and an attractive price tag, launched it and made it available almost right away. How long is the wait?
If I were a slab phone lover I would've been so satisfied with the phone, the promo campaign, the launch, and how BBMP handled the whole process.
You go Aurora & BBMP!

But it is exciting to see how much support BBMP has gotten locally... that did seem to be the type of event most wanted for the KEYone.
But the question is how attractive IS the price for THAT market and with that hardware set? I think only those in Indonesia can answer that.pkcable likes this.03-09-17 10:42 AMLike 1 - 03-09-17 10:44 AMLike 0
- I think if that phone is released elsewhere people will be choosing the Aurora over DTEK 50.
Posted via CB1003-09-17 09:16 PMLike 0 - Without any doubt, the Aurora is a much better phone as we know so far. I have currently a fleet of 210 DTEK50 and have a lot of complain regarding the battery. Also got back around 10 devices already after a few weeks with cracked screen. While from the around 600 BB Classic fleet, I got back with cracked screen only around 15 in the past two years, not in weeks like the DTEK50.03-10-17 12:34 AMLike 0

- There is a pattern where they get cracked, nearly all of them gets cracked there. Nothing will prevent from happening that. Neither the classics have case, neither the Z10s, nor the old BB 9790s.jfalkingham likes this.03-10-17 12:44 AMLike 1

BlackBerry will never ever bring aurora to the americas because they know it will take away from their own dtek sales...

Even here BlackBerry is no longer the household name, and must fight brutally with the likes of Samsung, oppo, and vivo, just to name a view. However, I'm pretty convinced that once people here gets a taste of the Hub+ and DTEK, BlackBerry will get their fighting chance. Most especially with the addition of the current amazing camera app. That will definitely help tipping the scale in their favor.
We'll see.Last edited by bhoqeem; 03-10-17 at 07:43 AM.

Mynet85, Thanks for taking the time to respond.
Posted via CB1003-10-17 09:04 AMLike 0 - I am one and live in Indonesia. Price wise, it's a wee bit rather expensive. Like I've said so many times, the sales will pick up, but slowly. Especially after the price gets knocked down a bit to Rp2900000 or $217. Which it will, after about 6 months on the shelf.

From BBM channels - could you imagine a similar scene in a North American mall in 2017 for the KEYone?03-19-17 10:42 AMLike 0 -
- thanks for capture it, it is nice that seeing Blackberry Merah Putih very seriously trying to grab some marketshare here.
I read some news article in some Mass Media in Indonesia that BlackBerry Merah Putih try to get 25% of Indonesia Mid Range Smartphone consumer in next couple years, and with this BlackBerry Aurora they are targeting 1.000.000 unit sold in 2017, I think it little bit ambitious, but I think the timing is right they sell it before Nokia coming to Indonesia which also have many fans here

Look at the specs. Compare it with a Z30. Four years newer, and apart for the better cameras (front & back), more memory, and the fact it runs Android, the rest of the specs are pretty similar, and in some cases the Z30 is better.
-Almost equal processor / About the same battery size (3000vs2880)
-Z30: Adreno 320 - Aurora: Adreno 308
-Z30: Super Amoled 294ppi - Aurora: LCD 267ppi
-Z30: Stereo speaker - Aurora: Single speaker
-Z30: HDMI - Aurora: Nop
-Z30: FM - Aurora: Nop
-Z30: NFC - Aurora: Nop
-Z30: Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n dual-band - Aurora: Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n

TiPhone is one of the oldest smartphone manufacturers in Indonesia, so they have quite the seniority designing smartphones for Indonesian market.

But I noticed that aurora has different BlackBerry camera, look at the UI of the camera, and compare with priv or dtek or even keyone, its different. It has much feature.03-21-17 11:47 AMLike 0
