I find this phone to be very interesting. I read all of the specs on the website and I noticed that both cameras appear to have OIS and the front one has flash. I wonder how good those cameras are. At least they are honest with the 17 hour battery life.

17 hours is an interesting claim. If that's 17 hours with decent SOT, that's going to be fine for a lot of users, especially with QC 2.0 on it. If that's 17 hours with the same type of "mixed usage" that some other companies use, we're looking at 2-3 hours SOT, over 10-12 hours and that's not going to necessarily be as OK. Looking forward to seeing how it does in the real world.

i agree...this phone has me very interested. the 615 and smaller battery worry me, but if the reviews are good and they hold up in real life use, i may replace my priv with the dtek.

BlackBerry's add ons including full disk encryption and their background processes are going to be tough on the 615. The 808 had troubles in the Priv with things like GMaps and a podcast app, Should be interesting to see what they can do to this seemingly underpowered phone to keep up with ways a corporate road warrior will most assuredly use the phone.

What you call BlackBerry bloat is what I call the reason I want the BlackBerry android over others. I loved bb10 until they stopped updating it

Looks like the BlackBerry version of Alcatel idol 4.

I am using a G4 Plus and there are no issues with the 617 and Google Maps. Used it on a road trip flawlessly.

I am curious to see if the BlackBerry software will slow down this device, considering that it doesn't have the greatest processor.

Hopefully one of the writers will compare it with the original Alcatel Idol 4 or maybe even the Moto G4.

Not just GMaps. Do GMaps, GMusic and get a call or GMaps, PocketCasts and get a call. Priv has a hard time with that and it has an 808.

Now a corp salesman/road warrior, I think that's something very likely to be done.

Thats why i gettin this phone coz of blackberry add on software. I guess you dont know the difference between software add on and carrier bloatware that alot of users dont like.
