    I am using my Priv from the day it came out, almost 3 years ago. It traveled the world with me and was my best buddy. But now it is time to move on.
    The question now is: which one is my next phone? Though I grew up with the keyboard but the Z10 got me used to touch only. I do still have the Passport as well but having used mostly the Priv I will stick with touch screens only.

    Crackberry was always the place to go for the best info but I haven't been here in while. So I will trust your knowledge, experience and advise.

    The Evolve is an Indian model. Aura is Indonesia. The DTEK60 is a year older than the Motion but still gets great reviews.

    Which one? Motion or DTEK60.

    Oh, I will be using it on AT&T.

    Any input or advise will be greatly appreciated (and Apple heads - it's Blackberry and nothing else).

    The DTEK60 is at (or past) the end of its support lifespan, while the Motion still has about a year left in it. The DTEKs are pretty much an afterthought now.

    Neither will get you advanced features on AT&T like WiFi calling or stuff like that, although with a BlackBerry on AT&T nowadays that's to be expected.

    The only current devices, with 3 years of security patches and at least one letter upgrade (to Pie), are the KEY² and KEY² LE.

    The Motion is hard to find, still has a couple years left of support, but won't go beyond Oreo.

    All other devices are either EOL or about to be.

    Thanks guys. Great info about the EOL. I haven't seen any other touch screen phone for the US beyond the Motion. I usually upgrade my phones every 2 to 3 years.
    So based on your info I should hop onto the Motion wagon and hope that in 2 or 3 years BB has another touch phone.

    I have a few friends that use the Motion. It's pretty nice. Waterproof and pretty durable.

    Based upon your preferences, I'd say the Motion is your only choice at the moment. While I generally hesitate to suggest other manufacturers, you could always go with a Pixel or other device with a clean install of Android plus guaranteed updates and add the BlackBerry Launcher and suite of apps to mimic the BB experience as well as possible on a non-BlackBerry device.

    ^^^ This. Assured updates and BB-like experience.
