This is indeed ridiculous. The HP Elite X3 was my other big want last year and it was announced in February at mwc, released in September. It looks like HP gave TCL the playbook on how to launch a new phone. Lol. Idiots.

[deepforezt]

Once again blackberry screwed the distribution and advertising. Completely unorganised.dont know why i keep trusting this company

[gallopiton]

geeee... how many times i have to clarify this? it WASN'T a launch event, it was LUNCH event...

besides, it's just a phone, take it easy...

besides, they say April, meaning May, but aiming to June.... everybody can see that...

besides, "May" sounds like maybe... i don't like the sounds of that so we better wait until June...

besides, i can wait, i don't care...

and my favorite...

better if you go and buy a different phone, one less person in front of me...

but hey, i am being melodramatic... this is totally ok in the big scheme of life...

[dollface]

I'm so sad, that is 5 weeks away 😪

[san4berry]

confused, when is this phone available at shopblackberry?

[Liquid Living]

I wonder whether this is on purpose. They want to see what kind of demand there is first.
Anyways, I am glad we have a date at least. In the mean time enjoy the reviews on youtube and beer.

I'm betting May 31st is the date you can buy it in the US and Canada from a carrier. I have no doubt you will be able to buy unlocked and ship to either region before that.

Be happy you aren't Verizon, I highly doubt it will be available on Verizon come may 31st. Just have to keep using/loving on my PRIV.

[joshualebowitz]

This is a failed launch. So frustrating.

[consv93]

Cue the fanboys: This is a professional company, this isn't their first rodeo, they said May, I'd rather have higher quality, most people don't care, stop you impatient millennials, BlackBerry can do no wrong...

[joshualebowitz]

Professional companies don't launch business phones during the summer after launching them in February.

[anon(9607753)]

I bet we will start seeing some ridiculous eBay listings popping up soon LOL.

Nah man, we got the opposite. Fiasco! Disaster! Flop! Blunder! Catastrophe! Debacle! Botched! Fail!

And they will sell I bet. I would be trying to make a few hundred bucks if I were in the UK.

[zephyr613]

You can buy it from Selfridges for $834 to ship it to the USA

Awesome.

Not sure where the $834 came from, web site showing $695 in US dollars - they are out of stock (even after refreshing multiple times) but thought I would post the screenshot.

[anon(5364777)]

I think he was in Canadian currency at the online store.

[zephyr613]

I think he was in Canadian currency at the online store.

So now I am REALLY confused, went back to site and made sure my currency was in in US Dollars and now it is showing as $525.00...

If you're trying to be sarcastic, it didn't work.

[Adam Frix]

When you buy one, that will be an indication to TCL that they did NOT fail in launching the product.

[Lobwedgephil]

I don't think this is possible. If it's out in the UK will have to be sooner elsewhere than over a month later. Sit tight.

Carrier sales in the summer in US. Only BB makes things like this possible.
This might be for the carrier sales?

[mister2d]

Don't be so quick to try and rub his nose in it. He could buy it on a secondary market well after this date for much less. It is a failed launch. No doubt about that!

[DroidBerryGuy]

Just settled it for me. If the phone was going to be available now, I would give it a whirl. But now since it is basically June, I am going for the One Plus 5. Better specs, lower price.

[hoopitz]

I'm on the disappointed bandwagon, as well. There's a difference between being patient, and it feeling like we're just being dragged along.

They said the delay was so that they could make sure they had enough stock. It turns out they only meant enough stock to sell a few through Selfridge today, and for CPW on the 5th? Clearly that wasn't the reason.

It wasn't very exciting to hear that the phone was delayed, and even less to hear that they are "technically" meeting their new deadline by having it available at the last possible day. If they took the extra time to make sure they had stock, why don't they just sell direct through BlackBerry Mobile?
