I just got a case for the Motion, so now I need a phone to put in it

C'mon BlackBerryMobile, release this thing in the US already!

Hoping the 15th is the North American versions release. If it's slated for a Canadian release, I gotta believe it will work in Canada.

Coming soon:-)

They don't care about the US. We will be a 3rd world country soon anyways.

BlackBerry doesn't sell in the States. iPhone and Samsung ate their lunch. BlackBerry Mobile would be wise to lighten their marketing efforts in the US. As long as the BlackBerry Mobile phones are available through Canada, American consumers should still be able to get them.

I'm waiting for the Black Edition of the Motion or whatever the more storage version is called (if there is one) to go on sale in Canada.

Rock'n that Passport SE aka the KeyONE's fat sister

Your certainly right about that

Would we have to pay Canadian prices ?

Whatever the exchange rate is would apply. If you are ordering from a Canadian source and importing into the States, you'll end up paying some kind of import fee, probably between $40-$60 US to get it to you. But...you will have the phone. Exchange rate with Canada is favorable to the US buyer, but import fee will quickly make up for that.

The Keyone is sold in the States - even AT&T. Why wouldn't the Motion be sold here after about the usual 3 month wait?

[jackcarr]

I didn't say it wouldn't be sold in the States... I said it won't sell well in the States. Look at the better model, Black Edition...still not available in the US. US not their first release market. Midrange specs and beefy battery is generally not what the US consumer is looking for. US market is not their main focus. They're hoping to build the brand elsewhere. No hope of competing against Samsung and iPhone in the US. Not a shot. BlackBerry in the US has a bad reputation.

[Dragnet Sound]

Your certainly right about that

I'll wait too, for the Motion Red and White Edition (Canadian) hopefully comes out before year end. lol

Why are people blaming BlackBerry, they don't control when and where it comes out it is TCL . Isn't it? 🤔

Don't do that to me! Are you saying it's not coming to the US, or just not now?

Magic-8 ball says... 'Things are cloudy, check back later.'

Put it this way, and I don't make this suggestion often: If you want one ASAP and you're in the US, import it from Canada.

A little tear just formed in my right eye.

The specs and the battery along with price could be widely acceptable. Customers are not used to buying the brand and salespeople don't seem to want to sell it. If it stays in the stores that could change.

Not in the US. In the US, if you mention BlackBerry in a cell phone store you get avoided by sales staff. I wish it were otherwise in the States, but it is what it is. Oh well...BlackBerry geeks like me just have to grin and bear it.

You were missing that qualifier the first time.

That being said, I won't disagree.

Guess that means more waiting then..
Had to import my recent Berries from the US and looks like this one too

Thanks for the info, I will find a Canadian website to buy it next week.

[Rasheed White]

actually, it should be coming to the US in the next month. amazon is selling the accessories.

Unless El Trumpo would start using a BlackBerry, I doubt that BlackBerry devices will sell well in the states again.
