    US just got it today, but no sight of it on Canadian soil.

    I'm kind of frustrated by this.. is this what we should expect out of TCL going forward?

    I just feel like they're focusing on other regions, which is fine. But why not cater to the original BB market?

    I'm just sour/salty.. I was hoping for a KEY3 and instead we got a colour refresh.. which I'll take because I do like the red.

    I don't want to order one out of the country due to warranty issues. Help, anyone?

    My hunch is a carrier release. Amazon won't ship to Canada for this one so something is up.

    You are indeed correct. I tried pushing through to the end, but was denied. In my experience, Amazon had generally fixed this problem, but not here apparently.

    It's simply a question of bang for the buck. Nothing more. Resources are limited, and product is scarce.

    Wow, looks like the units on amazon.com have all been snatched up! Only 3rd party sellers offering them at a significant hike.

    Significant hike? Utterly insane hike(s) is more like it...

    No RED edition for Canada?-bb_key2_red.jpg

    Niche or not I see none of this doing the brand a bit of good... IMO BBMo's marketing, delivery, and timing, has literally been "killing it" so I guess this just goes with the flow.

    That one looks like the euro version (BBF100-6) model. Missing some of the NA bands.

    Suspect something may be up with the carriers in Canada though, or perhaps an exclusive through a few select retailers as they did in the States.

    The product is sold out on both Amazon and Best Buy. I guess the price was too low.
