Actually I saw a survey that there was a surprisingly large number of Samsung owners who said they would not buy another Samsung phone. If they know it exists there are going to be some of these disenfranchised customers who will want the DTEK60. It has good specs and looks good from the leaked photos. The price is not bad at all either especially considering the specs and the reliable BlackBerry updates.

I definitely hope the marketing and the whole Samsung debacle gives them more traction!
I think with some marketing the phone will have a decent shot in the asian region at least

November 11 is Remembrance Day in Canada and Veterans Day in the US, so I think the other dates mentioned, October 17 or 24, are more likely.

Samsung phone?

I'd love if BlackBerry could maybe do a really nice 15 second advert with: "Introducing BlackBerry DTek60, everything you'd expect in a phone: 4GB RAM, 21/8MP cameras, SD card slot, best in class keyboard, and legendary headphone jack. Well, everything except for exploding in flames. Buy now at major retail stores."

I would LOVE that. Okay don't judge me I'm just an 18 year old. :'( But for real that would be hilarious AND effective.

JUST enough of a dig.... yep.

JUST enough of a dig.... yep.

Assuming the 60 doesn't explode either. Apparently it is a feature of the high end phones.

I dought BlackBerry would have the brains or intestinal fortitude to do your advertisement. It would be a winner. Made me laugh and think.
Good job 18 year old

Link to that confirmation please.

Have BB stated a date, or is this people still guessing?

@ royabsa
I love the "legendary headphone jack" line.
Show off the specs and then announce "...this really c-o-o-l phone is a BlackBerry, Yes, you heard that right, folks. BlackBerry, the android DTEK60..."

[BB-JAM215]

Link to that confirmation please. Have BB stated a date, or is this people still guessing?

I've seen two items that suggest the DTEK60 may be released next week:

The Hantec website has it up for pre-order and says "Expected Release W/C [Week Commencing] 17th Oct 2016".
http://blog.handtec.co.uk/pre-order-...17th-oct-2016/

I can't find the post now, but in one of the DTEK60 threads Bla1ze said that the reason for the delay was that BlackBerry was improving their marketing plans.

[Vampiro]

Link to that confirmation please.

Go to the BH pre-order article and scroll through the comments: someone who was always a 100% reliable source left the comment there when he was asked about expected time frame of release.

Please, stop suggesting they advertise something about exploding batteries. That is such poor taste...

They need to advertise the good qualities, not the poor qualities of a competitor. Basically don't turn it into the current USA elections...

From the "Is Dtek60 really coming out?" thread today:

We are implementing the blackberry good product in our company , last week the Blackberry guy told us he could deliver a dtek60 middle of next week 17-19 . Today he told us global launch is delayed but couldn't elaborate more

Looks like it may be delayed another week.

It means this website intended for people for looking up APN settings is getting ready for the impending release of the DTEK60. These are the APN settings for Telus Mobility, one of the major carriers in Canada.

Mercury up next! Whoop Whoop!

Thanks. I'm with Telus but know nothing about APN settings. I suppose this is a good sign. I've been wanting to upgrade my Classic and I reaaaaally want the DTEK60. I hope it is announced soon.

Hmm... I realise that you are only reporting what someone else has quoted but, the bolded part would worry me if I were waiting for the DTEK60. Hardly an assurance that it'll be next week... or the week after.
