No keyboard, no sale for me. To make it viable, offer an add-on keyboard, that's actually good, unlike Samsung's.
I would like to hear your thoughts in another few weeks after you have kept using the device, seeing as you aren't going to return it.
Would like to know if your love for the VKB has gone down any and your like for the PKB has gone up.
You must not have used a bold 9900 or anything like that then. I brought it out the other day and man that keyboard was tiny. But I was a speed demon on it as I am now on the KEYone after a few weeks.
Actually I did. I started with BlackBerry with the 8700. I just think I've grown more accustomed to the vkb and can type faster and more accurately with it. I still like the pkb, but I just don't think I'll ever be a pkb guy in terms of being as good or fast as I am with a vkb.
I thought the same thing but constant use on the KEYone is changing my thoughts a little. It took a lot of time as I hadn't use a PKB (small one) since the 9900. Did have a passport but not really that comparable.
LOL
A lot of rupees
I just can't see TCL making any headway with a slab. What would the feature be that would grab people's attention and make them want to purchase it? They don't have the capacity to make some world beating phone and have never been in the high end game.
Terrible.
You lost me at remove the keyboard. The mobile market is over flooded with slabs and not to mention in the 5" to 6" displays. The keyboard needs to stay! I like the direction the current "smart physical keyboard" is heading. love how the space bar is now a finger print sensor and short cuts can only be done on a physical keyboard! What consumers want is faster ways of getting to their apps and to communicate to whomever with ease! A physical keyboard provides that! Battery life is getting better but there will always be room for improvement since we are more and more connected to everything we do in our lives.
Nah, too much. If I wanted all that I'd get a Samsung.
I owned a Mi Mix and the phone used as a phone for calls was horrible. Had trouble hearing people (sound vibrations through the glass etc is a good idea BUT doesn't work that well in real life). It was fine for YouTube and taking photos etc.
Bit clumsy to use and carry. A little too big I think. Note 4, K1, LG G6 size wise are better.
TCL isn't able to source the latest high-end SoCs - all production output is gobbled up by the bigger players, and TCL can't order enough to move up in that line. Plus, TCL isn't that kind of player and they know it. It takes a MASSIVE budget to be able to play in the Apple/Samsung league, and even though TCL isn't a small company, they just aren't in that league.
Additionally, they don't have the money for the R&D such a phone would take - their advantage is using tech AFTER it's already been proven (and developed by someone else on their dime) and making it a little less expensive.
TCL also does minimal advertising, and we all know how epic Samsung's ad campaigns are. There's no way TCL could compete in the high-end flagship market with minimal marketing - Apple and Samsung would crush them with brand-recognition alone.
It's a nice dream, but it's not even a little realistic. Samsung might be able to pull it off for the S10, but TCL isn't going to.

I disagree, I would like to see stereo speakers, on screen navigation buttons, slightly bigger keyboard resulting in slightly bigger screen, of course more ram and I would also like for them to figure out a way to implement the keyboard shortcuts anywhere not just on the home screen even if it's just the long press shortcuts.
Oh yeah and some good quality glue to hold down the screen.
You lost me after no keyboard, sorry. Keyboards are much easier and more efficient to type on and that's not even my bias. What's easier to type on, a MacBook pro or an iPad in landscape? Physical keyboards will always be better.
Sounds like you want an S8 plus.
You couldn't pay me to use a 6.4" screen. K1 is already much too big in my opinion.
Give me a K1 mini with a 9900 keyboard and a 4" screen and *I will* personally guarantee it's success lol.
And I will personally guarantee that I'll buy one!
OP you lost me with "no physical keyboard." In caps, no less. I want the physical keyboard. Sure they can go ahead and make some slabs along the way but the PKB phone is what I want and love.
...no BB10....no Pkb... then why a BlackBerry ?

I'm just interested in why do you need 6.4" screen? Is there something you do specifically that requires that much estate?
Why are you posting in blackberry forums if all you want is a generic Samsung phone? If I needed a good camera and good display phone I'd buy Samsung but I have ultrabook so I need a phone that works great as a communicator and has all day battery, and guess what? It's the keyone!
Seriously, go buy a Samsung or HTC!
Troll.
Hahahahaha
