BlueShop is not a real retailer. And this is not a real launch. I'm saying it now. The TCL KeyOne Black is never going to come.

Suit yourself OP. I'm typing this out right now on a Black Edition KEYone I got from Blueshop and am very satisfied with it.

BBM are selling through retailers in general and carriers in certain countries in a seemingly haphazard and mysterious way.
They have their world shop and an EU site which doesn't have the black edition and doesn't cater to the business market :"we are B2C ". Strange for phone that purports to be "for business".
Living in Spain I understand the frustration.

I suppose because they're online only, Amazon is not a real either.

I've bought through them and they've provided excellent service. They are real and have good service.

They listed their Black Edition as having 32GB of memory and 3GB of RAM when it should be 64GB of memory and 4GB of RAM.

You're confusing it with this one.

They have muddied the waters somewhat with the different versions.

It would have been much simpler if they were named:

KeyOne
KeyOne²
KeyOne³
KeyOne⁴
KeyOneⁿ

The article said 'as soon as next week,' mentioned specific retailers such as Amazon, Walmart, and Staples, and was dated September 21st. In the OP's defence, it really isn't 'as soon as' the specifically mentioned date any longer.

While saying that it isn't ever coming is a bit melodramatic, I can sympathize that the launch of both versions of this device, specifically for Canada, have proven to be quite the slogs.

ok I know this is just my opinion but let's take a step back....

should BlackBerry Mobile actually follow thru on their statement of "available in a week" , don't you think they would have likely sold a lot more of the devices?

like the OP, my preference is to purchase this from Amazon or Staples.

Can you think of a reason why BlackBerry Mobile wouldn't have wanted to follow through? I can't imagine they are any happier than the OP.

Likely the cause is either

1) stock of product - they don't have enough
2) previous agreement with Blueshop and PC Canada to give them exclusive of product in advance of other retailers.

BUT if the reason is #2 , they should never have made such a public announcement of the keyone being available to all within a week.

Looks like a PR mess

The OP is actually right. Blackberry Mobile's Canadian site still lists the Black Edition as coming soon. If you click "Buy Black Edition" at the top of Crackberry, it redirects you to Blackberry Mobile's site. So as far as the official word from Blackberry Mobile, the Black Edition is still "coming soon" to Canada and not available for purchase.

The OP is correct that the black edition is "never coming to Canada" even though it already is in Canada?

The Blackberry Mobile press release from September 21st, states that the phone will be available "later this month" and that people should direct themselves to Blackberry Mobile's site for more information. We are October 9th tomorrow, and the official website for this phone still lists the Black Edition as coming soon.
