OMHOSH what great specs, especially the battery! I'm very interested in seeing what it looks like from the front! Thanks for finding the photo! CrackBerry is super sick beans!

there are better specs on cheaper phones, though the new TCL secured by blackberry seems interesting, it is a VKB too?

Yup, it has a virtual keyboard.

 

[Matty]

Is it a VKB too?

Well, it's a full touch device. No physical keyboard this time around so it's only got a virtual keyboard Hopefully we can see this device in stores in the next 5 weeks.

I'm definitely interested in this device. It's rumored to be an Android workhorse like it's cousin the KeyOne. Virtual keyboard which is what I'm looking for.

As of today, according to our friend Evan Blass on twitter, we finally have a "Official" name.

It might be called the Blackberry Motion! He even shared a little sneak peak of what the front looks like!

Here is the picture he shared. I quite like the front design and having the Blackberry logo inside the home button is a thumbs up from me. Blackberry can have some dollars from me for this one

As for aesthetics, I like it. The specs are not bad. The only downside for me is price. For $20 less, the OP5 has a better SoC, and more RAM. What I couldn't find to compare was screen size, and internal storage. The BB wins on battery size, though.

Maybe if this were say $425 I might consider it. Or, if the screen size is closer to 5" as opposed to 5.5"

Not in the least

 

[mxmarcus]

Not for me

That is pretty cool about the BB logo being inside the home button.

Did this end up becoming the Motion?
