    Except they missed out the ones complaining about price... those ones do get downvoted a lot however.

    So the reddit section which is dedicated to Blackberry fans is excited for a blackberry product?

    I know people claimed that we'd see higher profile and more obvious marketing efforts as the launch approached - is this what they mean?

    Actually only a few of them were from r/BlackBerry. Most were from r/Android, r/AndroidMasterRace (one of their flairs are "BlackBerry Barberians"), and r/gadgets. So I would say some of them aren't exactly BlackBerry fans.

    good catch - I only clicked on the first one - the second one had four people in it - I guess you take the praise where you can get it. Cheap at least.

    No one reads the BlackBerry blogs, hello? Loll

    I've been watching these blog posts ever since the z10. Doesn't count as marketting...

    The oneplus campaign, that was marketting.

    Yeah I've been accused so many times over in the BBRY section of being a paid something or another....

    If that works, BlackBerry ought to require each employee to make 10 post a day on different social media outlets. Or pay a marketing team to come up with some type of social media marketing scheme.

    Reddit is a very critical group. The phone getting these reviews over there means a lot especially since they are not typical BB users. Speaks volumes about what a typical user might think.

    If they really are listening to Reddit, they need to drop the price by $100-$150, at least in a promo of some sort.

    I was thinking the same thing. A 64Gb San Disk card on amazon retails for $27

    One of the blog testimonials makes reference to a Market Ticker write-up that I think hits the nail on the head regarding much of the pricing discuss. Worth a read. In short, the Priv is in the middle of the pricing ballpark when actually comparing specs and features, which is really the context in which pricing should be discussed.

    It's not that the hardware isn't worth the MSRP they are asking. It's more to push people over the fence. At that price a LOT of people (including myself) are sitting on it. Hence why I don't think they should lower the full MSRP, just a promo.

    My take on the price is that will adjust sooner rather than later. Amazon is usually pretty fast with this and that is not limited to BlackBerry.

    While I agree the price probably matches the hardware and software you get, it is a hurdle for those being willing to make the move.

    FWIW

    Frankly I find the preorder was a bit silly. No real advantage over getting it in store. We KNOW it's 100 less for outright, and I get it faster.

    I think that preorder was more like a pricing experiment to set the MSRP higher.
