Should be 55. Spec wise it sits between 50 and 60.

Good point, assuming of course that you are correct in the specs, which I believe you are.

press those keys on the beautiful keyboard

GAWD...I hope this is wrong.

[BB-JAM215]

press those keys on the beautiful keyboard

And like the PRIV the keys will actually move when you PRESS them.

Under PRESSure.

Sorry all, it's officially the BlackBerry Keyboard Zealot

I think a lot of people are expecting some omega sounding name like Pegasus, Ares or Titan. And will be disappointed with something like Press, Type, or DTEK

I don't get why they didn't stick with the codenames. Venice sounds classy.

Agreed. Mercury sounds nice too, but I believe it will be DTEK70.

The "DTEK" names are so boring / geeky.

Passport, PRIV and PRESS sound much, much better and relevant to design etc.

[berry_f30]

I think they should stick with the DTEK70. Press sounds ok, but I don't mind the DTEK name.

If TCL is smart, they won't name this phone BlackBerry anything.

It would have to be some other name given primacy with "secured by BlackBerry android" or something to that extent.

We don't even know if this licensing deal includes the use of the BlackBerry injected chip sets - from what I recall it was optional for licensees. So we'll see how this plays out for western enterprises and governments.

I think PRESS may be the trademarked name of the keyboard (with its new functions) and not the actual phone.

(No, I don't have any proof.)

More likely PRESS is the name of the phone that you un-lock simply by PRESSing on the spacebar/fingerprint reader (as suggested by ToniCipriani in another thread).

I'm pretty sure a requirement of using the BlackBerry name is that you have the secure injected chip?

As Marty Beard said in early December "BlackBerry Secure. You are going to hear more about it."

TCL and Cistulli have been using the words "bold" and "legacy" in various forms so there's no way of knowing the name til tomorrow.

Slashgear is known for making stuff up with stuff they read from the forums.

At the same time in the past BlackBerry also explained how DTEK50 and 60 are "heritage names", 50 is a continuation of Z30...

[kitmo]

The name Blackberry Press is showing up all over the internet so I think that is the name. The QWERTY keyboard-equipped BlackBerry Press is about to be unveiled

[Notna Nosyel]

Hard PRESS to succeed.

Sly, sly, sly...like a Demon's eye.

[ray689]

I don't think it's going to be called the Press. Someone read way to far into a tweet.

so the slab phones will have numbered names and the pkb letter names only.? I remember this discussion when PRIV was announced but I forget the details.

[chopachain]

I read nowhere on the Weird World Web that its officially the "BB Squeeze".
