Not that anyone at Blackberry is reading this forum I guess it's ok to wonder where they got their executive leadership. They are outsourcing the hardware to a Chinese company TCL. the first phone from them, the KeyOne is being blasted in the media as an expensive ( $550 ) underpowered (not a top tier processor) lower quality (12 mp) camera offering. Some think TCL is not reading the market correctly and the phone is way over priced and offers no improvements except a display over the keyboard.
The biggest issue is they do not have any carriers signed up to offer the new phones. It may be offered in various retail stores. It looks like the first release will be in Europe.
If it's like in the US, they will have a bigger problem because when you walk into a retail location like Best Buy or Walmart they usually lead people to the big sellers like I-Phone or Samsung first. The various reviews are not totally bad and do say the phone is a nice one but all question the cost.
