Of all the mascots BlackBerry could go with, he ain't a bad one, eh? They're certainly the most ethical of the bunch... ( also funny how liberty==security in tech ;) ) .

I would hope BB would employ similar wit in their advertising and marketing. Someone with a twitter account please tweet that quote to Thurber? lol.

Step further, why to buy BB then ? Because of its name ?
BB offers more security ? LOL
As a salesmen for years, I know that if you have some new product to sell/offer you have to outstand from competition. With DTEK as a feature BB is trying to do that, will they have any success ? Doubt that !!
This is not real BB, where's the physical keyboard. PKB is the only thing that makes BB different.

This phone wasn't designed for the average consumer. It was designed in mind of the Corporate Accounts. Iphone, Galaxy, and Priv are all $500 plus dollar phones. The Dtek50 is $299. If I owned a company and wanted to save money then I would purchase the Dtek50 for my employees.

I guess dtek50 better suited for business and work related. I wish my iphone has security like dtek!

Trolling

BlackBerry Since 2006. SE/Priv/DTEK50

my last 7 blackberry phones have been any of them have had problems , my z10 has 3½ years and hopefully not my last blackberry , prefer to buy a blackberry before alcatel , with blackberry has done very well

Well this is the future of BlackBerry now, take other devices, put their brand and OS and sell like a BlackBerry devices...

I'm still waiting for the update everyone else keeps talking about.
Since it's not a carrier phone in the US yet, how does blackberry update some phones and not others??

People actually WILL buy the phone because of the BlackBerry name on it. Sadly a lot more people won't, just because of the name as well. Tech-enthused people that post of forums are definitely not representative of the majority who are the ones driving the current smartphone market. Most people just buy a Samsung or iPhone because that's what everyone else does. It's all about brand image now.

Just my 2 cents: the Blackphone 1 was trash. I bought one expecting ridiculously good security and they couldn't be bothered patching it often. Specs were weak and it made me resent silent circle. You had to pay for their apps and they'd discontinue them with no notice. It was a joke. Never used a blackphone 2 but after the experience with a Blackphone one, I wouldn't want to.

The spec for 2 TB cards has been around for a while, I don't think any have been mass produced yet though.

Not sure if it make any difference, but have your DTEK50 connecting with WIFI only, and see if the update come down after reboot.
