    Depends on Roll Out. If by the end of April it's nearly available worldwide, and carriers come on board in May.... Close to a million.

    My guess is that won't happen and it'll be around 500k.

    Not very many with those specs and price. I had hope that TCL would do things properly but this is just sad. 3GB ram and 625 processor running Android for $550 USD? What a joke. But those keyboard shortcuts tho. Lol

    We've been hearing about a keyboard BB phone for some time now and my assumption is they designed this long ago, hence the chipset used and marketed as "to save power". Nice spin.

    Not more than 5K unfortunately. They priced it too high while other blackberry phones are on clearance with better specs and cheaper. World isn't getting richer, it's getting poorer and bad pricing already got a few companies to get out of hardware business and others bankrupt.

    So TCL isn't doing themselves a favor by this major pricing mistake.

    Based on current pricing, these are my hypothetical guesses:

    1. 60.000 units (gut instinct guess)

    2. 140.000 units (with good so called, world wide roll out)

    3. 40.000 units (bad Google Pixle type roll out)

    The Pixel sold 500k units in its launch quarter with a massive push (including $25m marketing from Verizon) and over a year R&D AND the google assistant as its unique feature . So therefore my guess is 100k units

    I think it will be tough to sell a lot because too many phone will be out on April. Consumer have too many options to choose from. I would say max 50,000 units.

    It will fail!
    Just some fans will buy it - that are jumping from OS10 away.
    Others will jump away from BlackBerry completely.
    And I don't see Android users (like Galaxy users, OnePlus etc.) jumping on this.

    So worse than: Priv sales!

    Grand total of 0 for Q1. The phone will not be shipping until Q2.

    If they do a heavy run of that ad they showed at the beginning of the launch they can make 5M in sales in Q2 alone.

    We will soon find out if BBMobile understands sales any better than BlackBerry.

    I will say less more than likely above 200,000, but I can see sales increasing for the next quarter.

    Good analysis. Given the (high) price and the failure of Blackberry Mobile to capture much enthusiasm from its pretty flawed launch event as well as the long delay in actually releasing the KEYOne for sale, I'd shave 50,000 off your number and say it will perform at 10% of Pixel sales during its first full quarter for total sales of 50,000.

    And, as we know from all phones other than the iPhone, it's all downhill for sales per quarter after that.

    "Pixel is lagging globally too. The smartphone has sold around 2.5 million units since its October 2016 launch, Counterpoint Research says. Analysts say Apple would have sold over 70 million phones while Samsung's numbers would be over 80 million in the October-December period despite the latter's trouble with flagship Galaxy Note 7, several units of which exploded or caught fire. Apple and Samsung are yet to report the numbers for the period.

    "Because Google was coming for the first time on its own, there was a hype initially, but there hasn't been happening much since. Sales have not been good," said Subhash Chandra, managing director of Bengaluru-based Sangeetha Mobiles.""

    The Priv sold 700,000 in its first quarter, 600,000 in its second quarter. That was "disappointing".

    "The smartphone has sold around 2.5 million units since its October 2016 launch, Counterpoint Research says...You weren't even close."
    Hmmm...actually looks like @graham was much closer than what you pulled from Counterpoint which totally missed this based on what everyone else has reported. Bloomberg says launch quarter sales were 552k-1M. Google Sold 1M Pixel Phones Last Quarter: Bloomberg (GOOG, AAPL) | Investopedia.

    The estimate is 2.5 million units is for the full year it seems according to other investment sources and Counterpoint seems to made an error by using that number as the launch quarter Pixel sales rather than the estimate for the full year it was intended to be.

    So your arguments is that their methodology was flawed? Okay. The Pixel went on sale on October 20. This report was published late January. The full year projected sales is 5-6 million this year (per multiple sources)

    You then proceed to use the bottom range of the lowest estimate available. Statistical analysis of your methodology smells of an agenda.

    As I posted above , Priv sales were 700k and 600k, in the first two quarters they were available. Even with inventory issues (pixel), there's no way the Priv outsold the Pixel in their first quarter respectively.

    Around the same as what the Priv did in its 1st full quarter, but probably even less.
