Review: Mejor,imposible!!! - Se nota la calidad del producto en cuanto vez la caja de este celular, lo pedí el lunes por la madrugada y me llego el jueves por la tarde, y en cuanto al precio final ya incluye impuestos de importación, no hay k preocuparse por aduanas ni nada de eso!! Vale la pena¦ y más ahora k ha bajado de precio, incluso esta reseña la estoy estoy escribiendo desde el!! Como agregado este Cel en CDMX casi nadie lo trae, es un plus !!! RESEÑA A CASI UN AÑO DE SU USO: El equipo responde muy bien, calidad de video, audio, fotos¡ si bien es cierto que la camara frontal es su punto debil, aun asi puedes tomarte selfies¡ Es cierto, el equipo con juegos o aplicaciones demandantes se calienta de manera mas que notable. En un principio lo habia comprado por su teclado fisico, sin embargo lo he usado en este año solo un 5%. Recomiendo ampliamente comprarle un protector de pantalla ya que es muy delicada¡ un telefono movil recomendable, sobre todo por que en la Ciudad de México casi nadie lo trae: Cuando mis conocidos lo ven se asombran que Blackberry tenga telefonos con Android¡¡¡
Review: The unique slide-out keyboard makes this phone worth it - This phone is simply amazing. Even with my big hands, the physical keyboard is very comfortable to use. It takes a short while to get used to, but I prefer it over software keyboards now. That was the big selling point for me, the slide-out keyboard because I didn't want to compromise screen size, but still wanted the physical buttons. The display is amazing and vibrant and the battery lasts a while. The phone's body has a nice texture for grip, so I use it without a case. I'd say this is the perfect phone to use without a case even. All in all, it's a solid phone and the slide-out keyboard makes it a unique option even today when no new slider smartphones have yet to come out.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fabulous Android.
*by T***Y on 13 November 2015*

This is an utterly outstanding device -- if you want an Android phone for the "ecosystem" and apps, this may be your next phone. I'll mention the worst aspect of the phone right up front -- the front camera ("selfie cam") is not impressive at all. It's a 2MP, and I suspect the issue there is simply space; there wasn't room for anything bigger, so it is what it is. However, the bad news ends there. The rear camera is 18MP, and the image quality is outstanding. People claiming that it "shoots slow" probably have auto-HDR on and it's using it -- and by the way, it doesn't cheat -- it takes the full three shots before merging (most smartphones only take two.) The quality is out of this world. It's not a dSLR (I own a Canon 5d3) but even under pixel-peeping inspection at 400% magnification the images hold up well. The camera tends to overexpose highlights a bit BUT it has manual exposure bias control in the viewfinder; knock it down a stop and that goes away. Compression artifacts are well-controlled. Compared against the Passport's main camera (which I also own) the shooter in here puts the Passport to shame. It's not a $5,000 dSLR and lens, but it didn't cost $5,000 either. Qualitatively it's on-par with anything else in the market and the focus is phase-detect fast (nearly-instant.) OIS means stable video as well. The lens is wide-angle, probably around 28mm equivalent. I intend to get some ~28-35mm equivalent shots with both the Passport and my 5d3 in the next few days and will be posted a full review over on my blog including them. The keyboard is amazing and you don't realize how nice it is until you have the on-screen one up, it's taking up a third of your screen, you slide the screen up to expose the keyboard and suddenly you have the entire display page back. No other high-end device on the market makes this possible. The battery is a very large 3,400maH model. Like all Android handsets you can shoot yourself in the head in terms of battery life (e.g. using an "active" wallpaper, for example) and apps can as well. But here we have a new weapon in the form of DTEK and it's a BlackBerry exclusive -- it has already caught a couple of apps that when you simply hit "HOME" keep asking for position every few minutes, which of course turns on the GPS and does horrid things to your battery. Hit the square and close 'em completely, the problem goes away and your power drain while idle, screen off, falls to a very respectable ~25-30ma. In other words, close to 100 hours of endurance on standby. Will it go through the day? Yes, for most people if you're intelligent about not running apps that blow your battery up. The phone also has both QC 2.0 and wireless charging (wireless charge is slow, as with all such devices -- use the cable if you want fast.) The Hub is also present; it's a bit different than BB10 but the convenience of having all your emails and main social media account notifications in one place is not to be missed. And, the "spark" tells you which apps have notifications pending for them. Nice. I set mine up against my Exchange server and had my contacts, calendar and emails on the device in minutes; syncing has been flawless. The screen on this phone is gorgeous; you'd expect it from the specs, and it does not disappoint. It's also nicely usable in full sunlight, which many phones are not. And while it's OLED BlackBerry has managed to keep the over-saturation under control, the nemesis of color fidelity in a lot of these panels. Hats off to the folks who put the display together; they have a winner. The slider mechanism is precise and feels awesome. For that matter so does the back cover; it's a grippy carbon-fiber like material that has been used before; I believe it's the same as the Z10 and Z30 (I own a Z10.) The phone feels great in the hand and doesn't threaten to slip out and wind up on the floor with a smashed screen. Bravo. WiFi signal retention is excellent (better than my Passport by a wide margin) and cell service works well too. The phone is Band 12 capable if you're on T-Mobile; they're deploying a lot of it and this is one of the devices that can take full advantage of that. It has all the bands used by all the GSM carriers in the US and Canada; unfortunately it does not have CDMA so it won't work with Verizon or Sprint. Make sure to manually update all the BlackBerry apps when you first get the phone. There are updates for all of them on Google Play but the first time they won't come down automatically because they were not loaded from there originally, being on the device native. Once you update them manually the first time they will track on their own from then on. There are serious improvements in the updated versions on the Play Store, particularly in the Hub and Camera. For those who want an unlocked Android device BlackBerry has a winner here. This is a flagship phone and not inexpensive but the hack-hardening, keyboard and productivity apps that are proprietary to this device make it well worth consideration if you're looking for a flagship-level device. Recommended. Update 6/12: The black box, factory unlocked model will get Marshmallow when turned on. The orange box, AT&T model will *not*, so do check which you're buying -- Amazon itself sells the black factory unlocked model, but some vendors selling on Amazon have the AT&T unit which is functionally identical but cannot accept the factory unlocked firmware and are tied to AT&T for updates at the present time.
