Is the BlackBerry Leap in shadow grey not really your style? If you've been holding out on purchasing a Leap in hopes BlackBerry would quickly release the white one, your patience has been rewarded. Arriving on ShopBlackBerry today, the white version of the BlackBerry Leap is now available for purchase provided you live in the United States or Canada.
As expected, there is no pricing difference for the new white version, meaning customers in the U.S. can pick one up for $275 while Canadian customers will need to hand over $349. At this point there's no mention of when the white version will begin to be available for other regions but it surely won't be too much longer with the device now being stocked. Not sure if the Leap is for you? Read our full review right here.

White BlackBerry Leap now available from ShopBlackBerry
When will the Blackberry Leap in White color would be available in India?
I feel the Leap is an slight upgrade from the Z10, but with OS 10.3.1.
Hope it do well,i checked an online website and came to most selling devices of that website where z10 was there alongwith htc and samsung handsets,i felt really great then,i know z3 was a hit in india and indonesia and the leap is no different from z3 apart from minor hardware changes with same os,thats why im going to give classic a chance,but this is really a nice looking phone I hope so much people who cant know many things about new bberry devices,would come to buy any of blackberry and end up with a leap or classic in their hands,cheers blackberry,india is a type of country where if people see a gud looking phone in someone's hands they go deep in identifying that device and end up mostly with that same device as their newer phone and blackberry devices are gud looking

BlackBerry should consider launching phones together like the passport and classic. Only.. have the different color options available at the same time as the release. Launching them down the road probably only makes the people who already purchased the phone mad. I just now upgraded to the Z30 I bought the Z10 when launched. Then only months later to hear of the Z30 being released that did not sit well with me and I'm not going to just dump money into a new phone because I just bought one plus now I had a new contract!
Long story short if the Z10 and Z30 would of been released together and had carriers pushed both phones, I think BlackBerry would have more money in the bank today. The Z30 is awesome!

Did anyone think about just getting one just for a back up? In case your pricy Passport or Classic is out of commission for a while and is in repairs at Blackberry?! I know my Z30 came in handy when that my Passport screen lifted off the frame.

The was a slight difference in size in the z10 white and black... is the a difference size on this? It has made getting case harder to get one for my white z10. Most don't fit where the charger goes.

I won't lie, it looks nice in white.
How about a rainbow one or straight 14KT one . I myself want a platinum one to match my mofo teeth

I like the z10 and leap models in white. They remind me of the space shuttle. Don't ask me why.
I really think about nasa every time I see those white models. But I like them very much.
Buttons could have been in red.
But it's nice the way it is.

I'm in the minority but white phones are so 70's and 80's home phone color. Black is more stylish. But how about more red or even blue options?

The white looks a lot better than the black version.
My question is why isn't the Shop BlackBerry website viewing properly on my Z30 and home PC? Via Chrome and Explorer??

The white leap looks gorgeous

I think it's a nice looking phone. I'm curious about the build quality, but not worried because I've never been disappointed with BlackBerry hardware. The price is certainly attractive. However, I just can't see the point in purchasing one as an individual and not a business entity because the Z30 is better and cheaper. I do like the LCD vs. The AMOLED, but can't beat the speakers or the upgraded processor over the Leap, and it's cheaper.

Need to make it in platinum to match my teeth and with a micheal Jordan symbol on it to match my jawdins I sport!
Got my red passport hanging on a wall because it's only good for a picture frame

Agree, definitely looks better in white. Looks less like a cheap Nokia knock-off. Maybe some more vibrant colours would help persuade the young uns to buy one?

How in the hell did they release a white Leap in the US before the Classic??
I'm surprised on that one too, since I think the Classic is their hottest phone right now. Might be a lot of demand for the white one overseas though. I still believe it's coming.

Not impressed with Leap, I owned most of BlackBerry devices, and still big fan, but this device looks reallyyyyy cheap, wake up BlackBerry

Many predicted this sort of thing when BlackBerry outsourced its phone production. Definitely a cheap looking product compared to past devices.

Are you effing kidding me? White Leap before white Classic? FFS....
I just made the leap from Z10 to an on sale Z30! what a great device! came loaded with 10.3 OS, very nice!!
Posted via CB10
Something must be going on with the production of the Classic because Canada still can't get a white one and it looks like they canned the blue and bronze ones. Hmm....

The white Leap look very nice But I will wait for the white slider

So the z30 is less expensive... Why would someone choose the leap over a Z30??
[B]Z30STA100-5/10.3.1.2726[/B] CB10
I'm not sure why some Z30 fans feel like it's their duty to continually dismiss the other all-touch BBs. The Z30 is not a one-size-fits-all product (literally). There are other factors to consider besides price and specs when buying a phone.
I think it's safe to say that everyone on CB knows about the Z30 by now, yet many people have chosen other devices. The phone market is highly segmented, and there is no one best phone for all purposes.
Posted via CB10
Right! Like where the phuk is band 17 for AT&T? I was super disappointed about not having LTE service with the Z30. Had to sell that b!tch. But even though the Leap has my band, I still can't justify paying for the thing. It's a re-run on a larger screen.

+1!
And without changeable battery it is never recommendable.
So the only recommendable phones are Z10, Q10 and Porsche Design P´9982 and P´9983.
I am afraid that BlackBerry in future will produce devices only with batteries not easy changeable from customers.
Snoopy in Germany w/ P´9982 + Passport + Z10
The Leap, Passport, and Z30 all have a high capacity battery. I've owned the Passport and Z30. They hold up pretty well. I know for a fact that you can't get away with using your Q10 and Z10 all day without having to recharge. Look at the mili-amp hour rating on them punk a$$ batteries. The Leap doesn't need a removable battery. The problem is that it is a repeat device with a larger screen. Spec-wise, it's almost identical to the Z10 (that I'm going to swap the battery on in about 20 minutes) .
My Classic holds up alright with its mid-size battery. No real need to swap this one either.

Blackberry = Black...
White is a gay color on blackberry smartphones
Posted via CB10
How can a colour be homosexual?
Posted via CB10
because... when it's in the closet it is dark (pitch black) and when it comes out showing it's true colours... white light exposes everything O_o (being sarcastic)**
oh gosh that was just weird.. okay seriously I can't believe I am actually offended "someone" had to even mention something like this, I don't think I have EVER read any comments since being here.. no wait, I haven't read any sort of derogatory or homophobic slander even on the BlueJays forums. Why in the heck would @mohamed_mounes say that a type of phone shade/colour represents a persons sexuality? I would never even make a joke like this to my cousin who is gay, I would almost hate to stomach how he would react.
And here I am all wrong about thinking that the colour "purple" that guys like MC Hammer and Bobby Brown, Prince... no wait scratch that last one.. meant that you were "gay". Huh.. so if by your definition that "white" is gay on "blackberry" smartphones... man I must've been gay for 8 months when I had my BlackBerry Z10.. every guy that I see who is likely straight must likely also feel that the Z10 they hold in their hands is.. "gay". Maybe if they held a "Black" blackberry they would feel different about their sexual orientation? SMFH!
I'll go back to wearing purple jogging pants like I use to in the 80's and 90's.. maybe that'll retake the "straight" ways and maybe I'll go back to wearing overalls too!
aye!
And here I thought it was meaning stupid or some other meaning of bad or not cool, and not homosexual..... poor choice of words by the OP, but get thy panties out of thee bunch
Posted via CB10
Just cos it's white doesn't mean you have to immediately stuff it up your ass.
Maybe.. you know... try to have a conversation with it?

Err, you people do realize that the word "gay" has another standard meaning in urban lingo, right? One used even by homosexuals?

That would be dope, right? I've mentioned that before. A screen that whites out when it times out on a white device. Hell yeah!!

The leap looks better white. I'm not interested in one, just putting In my 2 cents

You would say that. "...looks better white." that matches your flag Avatar.
Posted on the can.
Are you assuming that he is a racist? Or are you just kidding with him. I hope you are kidding. Because making an assumption based on one's avatar is pretty ignorant.
Posted via CB10
Well, I am literally a piece of sh!t. -
Yes, I was joking about the avatar.
But, I assume that she is a racist because most people are, regardless of whether they admit it or not. No big deal though. That's the nature of most (if not all) people and animals.
Posted on the can.
I don't quite know what to make of you. What does the colour of a phone have to do with any inherent racism? How have you managed to link them together?
I drive a white car. Does that make me a latent racist too?
I'm wearing a white shirt today. Guess I should go find my local KKK chapter.
Posted via CB10
I'm gonna guess that Tim's comment to medic22003 was influenced by the confederate flag avatar. Medic 22003 said that the White Leap looked better. If you know anything about the Civil War, the South, and the Confederate flag then Tim's comment should make a whole lot of sense from a humorous stand point. (confederate flag...prefers the white one....go figure)
On a side note; racism is no laughing matter and racists are ignorant and narrow minded people no matter what color they are. (Public service announcement)

Pasaporte Pilipinas | SQW100-1/10.3.2.680
It's not really white though. Only the back is white.
The "white" Z10 wasn't really white either since it still had black bezels.
The white Classic and the white Z30 are actually white, with both white backs and white bezels.
Posted from my (fully) white Z30 lol
Well said... haha
I'm looking at this and I'm like "it's white.... on the back and sides only..."
The z10 was really white cause the phones body was completely changed from the black as with the leap the back is the only part which is changed to white. I do agree with blackberry decision on keeping the bezel and the screen all black cause as I noticed from my black z30 to my white the colors didn't seem as vivid as the white seems to trick the eye and distort and make a less of an effect for the deep colors the screen
For me, a white phone is white on both sides. I suspect that the only reason BlackBerry does this is because it's easier to manufacture "white" and black phones if all they have to do to make a "white" one is switch a plastic back/top panel. It's far more expensive to manufacture if they have to make separate front display units for the phones. BlackBerry does it so they can use the display units from black phones in (what they call) "white" phones.
I don't think color vividness (which I've never noticed lacking on any white phone) has anything to do with it. It's just a pure money decision. If color vividness was a real noticeable issue to people with white phones, then I'm sure we'd see white Samsung's and iPhone's with black bezels.

I actually think it looks quite nice though. I prefer this to the "white" Z10 where the front face was a mix of black and white.
Reminds me of a Lumia phone.
