    Just seen that too and if those prices are the true prices, I think this is a huge gamble. They're priced at almost the same rates as topmost flagships with the SD845 processors. The Oneplus 6 costs about $100 less. I understand it's a niche device but I think it shouldn't sell for more than $550

    PKBs must really be expensive to make, anyone with a clue?

    While they do add some cost, the Blackberry ltd tax is what really prevents BBMo from bringing more affordable pricing.

    I thought it was going to be like $750. I think keyboard alone will cost like $200. It’s custom keyboard with high tech sensors.

    The production cost of iPhoneX is $358 - the whole phone!

    Overpriced IMO*. I don't know what kind of market research they did - but I think at that price-point it'd be a 'hard sell', as in hard-to-sell.

    *For an unpopular brand today

    KEYone sold 800k.... versus how many iPhone Xs?

    Apple probably sold more for one variant of the iPhone X. Economies of scale.

    To allegedly make room for a lower end model. Remember BBE100?

    And by the sound of things this will be sold alongside with the KEYone Bronze.

    What did people expect?

    It's $100 more than the KEYᵒⁿᵉ at launch. That's what you get when you bump the specs.

    don't compare apple to blackberry now. iphone are costly especially its last one iphone x, but blackberry is not of competition for long time and they trying to bounce back.
    they should have done a research on market value before pricing their device aggressive.

    Nokia 6: Snapdragon 430, 3/32, $269
    Nokia 6.1: Snapdragon 630, 4/32, still $269 but 6 bumped down in price for clearance.

    The dual Samsung S9 sensors alone are worth $50.

    Most certainly not. Expect 899 for the 128. This was what the Priv launched for, and the market didn't want it.

    This brand still didn't learn anything.

    Overpriced by $50.
    $599 would have been the most reasonable price IMO.
    Don't know how much premium does BBMobile think people are willing to pay just for the PKB.
    $649 is the same price as the Pixel 2. Whose camera is still superior to the dual cameras on the S9.
