How about being available in Greece , Poland ????
I do not have where to buy it in those countries .
Z30 really wasn't a high end compared to offer devices and the cameras that they had

Got my LEAP Today can't wait to go home and try it
Posted via CB10
My Z10 with the fat battery is the nuts. No leap for me. But an new generation Z30...That's something to think about.
Posted via CB10
My leap's OS 10.3.1.1877 that I just got via shop blackberry today.
Posted via CB10
I just got my Leap today and no its not a z30 but it is much better than my z10. And in the USA it gets LTE via att where the z30 was not supported. It's hard to believe how much smother the OS flows compared to z10. The battery has not even budged which was one of my main issues on.the Z10. The typing is so much more refreshing on the Leap.

Mine was just delivered from amazon and so far it a very nice device!

It's not better BlackBerry leaf because it's not Nfc in leaf
Posted via CB10
Yeah. Bad decision.
Never would have expected them to kick out this standard technology.
Can't believe it.
Wanted to order some for our fleet.
Only because of the missing nfc I thinking about an alternative.
Oooh. Blackberry...
Posted via CB10
Why are people complaining? About a year or so ago people were begging for a cheaper market version just so the OS could be placed in the hands of people. Well here we are and people are still complaining. This phone is great for fleets and maybe Grandma/Grandpa or some school kid can get this phone at a nice price point.
Posted via CB10
Bigr3n u r absolutely right,when they get higher specs phone all of them complaint about the price, now they made mid end phone pretty much affordable all of them are screaming for high end phone,cmon it is not necessary to have that phone,everyone has their own choice and may be some of them really liked it and wanted to buy it,then whats the problem in this
Posted via CB10
The problem is that there is no high end phone. Arguably that should have been released after the Passport, and then let the B line of Classic and Leap have their moment.

Will it be released in the Philippines?

How about Indonesia?

The phone is a slap in the face to blackberry touchscreen fans.
Z30 (10.3.1)
Why not "the" France "the" Germany but the United States.
Posted via CB10
Because, you know, "the" English language.
Well the is "The Netherlands " and "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and northern Ireland", The United Arab Emirates,the Bahamas, The Dominican Republic, The Sudan, The Philippines,the Ukraine etc the reason behind it any country that's name after a function or description for instance Nederlands means low lands or low country so descriptively its "The low lands" in the case of UKRAINE it's "the borderland"the Philippines " the islands of Phillip" named after king Phillip of Spain.

Sweet! All 10 people who are interested can get on board! :)
Seriously, glad to see it's made it to market. That was pretty speedy approval.
For the right price, i.e., $0 on a 2 yr contract, I'd give one a go.

Let's face it's a low spec phone possible no better than a windows phone looking forward when you can buy any phone and have BlackBerry software on its now that's sounds like a good Ida give everyone the choice as to what phone they want touch or key board with blackberry software

Blackberry does the whole preorder thing and then keeps we who preordered waiting while it let's Amazon ship the phone first. I cancelled my preorder today and bought from Amazon cuz who knows how long it will be before Digital River ships me my phone.

You would think a pre-order would equal holding a spot at the front of the line.

I love the HUB
Posted via CB10
I like the iPhone 6+ because everyone has it lol, but regarding productivities, there is nothing better than BlackBerry HUB the best in the world. When I used to have iPhone, I have to open a zillion apps just to reply to the people, but with BlackBerry HUB, oh my goodness, it is too easy to reply to anyone from the HUB.
Hub is lightyears beyond all of smartphone productivity features on all devices-- period.

As normal it won't work on Verizon so they both can take a leap off a cliff!

There are some serious idiots on this forum, before you condemn something try it. I have had the Z10 from its launch and never had one problem but now I have the Leap I am so pleased and this should have been the phone from launch but it's history. This is a serious phone, try it before you slag it off.

It is just a Z10 with corners, no hdmi/nfc and a fixed battery.
Serious device? Please.
Seriously lacking in appeal.
Who, besides LG and HTC, in some of their phones, does not have a fixed battery? (and Note 4) Obviously that does not determine if a device is "serious".
The White Knight-BlackBerry Passport
You're talking about toys. For consumers.
For some professionals a removable battery (swap) is often a desired function.
Sometimes it is even required.
Dig the comment.
The White Knight-BlackBerry Passport
I think you are right.
The HDMI concern will soon be moot, as most modern equipment can communicate wirelessly now, and there are adapters for those who don't, that cost the same or less than a micro - HDMI cable.
NFC has been more of a fad, and may be an issue in the future, but by the time it is, it will be time to Leap on to another mass-produced, secure, business communication device.
Posted from a trusty Z10
I have never used NFC dating back to my 9900. Would not matter to me one bit. I remember the Samsung ads where the buddies would touch phones to share something? I am also one that is not going to use my device to pay. Not saying that it should not be there for those that may use or want it but Apple did ok not having it until 2014.

Hey Niccomar I'm waiting to buy one in Canada...how is it with the Leap so far ?
Posted via CB10
I haven't use it yet, I didn't have time. But it looks very good. The screen is really nice. The design overall is better than what I expected. Much nicer than a z30. So don't listen to people who says buy a z30 instead
Posted via CB10
The Z3 may look nicer, but the Z30 is a better phone.
Suffer Now & Live The Rest Of Your Life As A Champion
I haven't seen one in person but going by pictures I prefer the look of my Black Z30 much more, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If I were still using my Z10 I would probably buy one just because of the battery alone, but when you can get a better higher end phone like a Z30 for around the same price or currently less it's a no brainer... :o)
I have a question for anyone.
Will this leap phone work on all networks Particularly those in the USA? Or is BlackBerry limiting it's self again?

Here is its spec. I'm sure it work in the USA with AT&T. Band 17 works in San Jose, CA.

This is the price BlackBerry should have entered the market with the Z10 when it launched.
This show is well and truly over, once BlackBerry 10 OS is forgotten BlackBerry will look to license the OS.
BlackBerry are getting it so wrong with this new phone it hurts, just shut down the device division of BlackBerry and try selling software, heck, just save everyone the bother and close shop now.
The Slider better be an awesome device, have some really great features to show off and actually make it to market.
I give up.

Not so negative, sir... :-)
• Passposted while waiting for the Z-lider.... •
There's a difference between being negative and being a realist.
Posted via CB10
It is not the price the Z10 should have been at launch. The Z10 was on par with most flagships at the time. The number 1 problem with the Z10 at launch was the BlackBerry 10 OS. It was missing too many functions and features 10.2.1 addressed. Had it launched and started at 10.2.1 BlackBerry would likely be in a very different scenario. If one is concerned with price here they should be with every single mobile device made! I have an employee that's 18 and spent 1000 dollars on a 128 GB iphone 6 when it came out. (she had to have one) Well we did a couple things side by side with my Z30 and she was blown away at simple things like opening numerous apps, moving between them and the hub addressing messages and the phenomenal prediction typing Apple nor any Android VKB can match (I have tried all the Android on my tablets). All current flagship phones, here in the US, are grossly overpriced.
The White Knight-BlackBerry Passport
$1000 I feel sorry for her.
What a waste of money.
Shows you the power of marketing and people that are followers and not leaders.
www. carm. org
Yeah I was completely taken back when she told me what she paid. Has a car that could use some help, and gets her to work, but forks out 1000 for the 128 GB iphone. When I told her what I paid for my Z30 she was floored. Said "I never knew how cool BlackBerry's are." When I showed her the capabilities and viewing area of my Passport it demonstrated just how ordinary her ludicrously priced iphone is.

"License the Software" to Samsung? Hell Yeah!

BlackBerry clearly isn't for you.
You aren't a damn CEO and if you were, the company would be run into the ground.
Be happy with what device you're using now, since BlackBerry can offer nothing to please you quality and specification wise.
You have no say on what BlackBerry does with it's company, and BlackBerry 10 will not fade away, it is simply a front-end interface to QNX.

Any news on which carriers are expected to support the Leap in Canada and the US?
Who cares right? For that price I think it's a pretty good deal to get it contract free. At least that's what I think...
Posted via CB10
No HDMI...no go
Posted via my BlackBerry Passport
I agree about buying it contract free. I was just wondering how much promotion the Leap might get from various carriers.
I'd say somewhere in the amount of none to zero...
Posted via CB10
I couldn't agree more. The carriers rates with subsidize phone is ridiculously overpriced in Canada. If you buy the Leap outright, you've pretty much paid off the phone in 4 months. People need to think twice and do their math before going out to sign that 2 years contract.
That's one small step for man, one giant leap for BlackBerry.
The sentence should be reversed..
