Corporate Buyers
Nah, the brand doesn't have that sort of power anymore.
If you can get close to a price of an iphone then I don;t think it will attract corpoate Buyers.
I do like a physical keyboard on a phone but under £200 please.
Out of thousands of smartphone vendors, TCL's BlackBerry Mobile unit represents one of a tiny handful targeting enterprise users. But its two QWERTY models to date have been priced at a premium, north of £500. Unveiled at IFA this week, budget model the KEY2 LE cuts costs in a bid to attract the corporate bulk buyers. The …
I think the physical keyboard on the more expensive model is like a laptop touch pad as well as separate real clicky buttons. Which sounds more expensive than an ordinary keyboard or a touch screen.
The eReaders would benefit from a home, menu, back, and pair of page turn buttons. The old Sony PRS350 is nice. Sadly most ereaders save money (very little as eink screens are madly expensive) by only having a power button.
The three or four Android touch areas would be better as six physical buttons, plus the two or three on side. Having to use a touch area on LCD is STUPID for the Camera. My older Android phone could use a button on the side for "take" and the volume for zoom. The newer designs are designed to be shaken or dropped when taking a photo.
I blame Steve Jobs, Jony Ives, Google and Sinofsky & Co for all our GUI ills.
If they had only increased the screen to do super wide mode instead of that tiny keyboard. I much rather go along with an $25 BT keyboard. This is only for Blackberry nostalgics or people writing a lot on their mobile devices for with there are lots of far better options. (like putting a LTE card in your laptop)
I still happily use my Blackberry Priv, with the sliding screen that exposes the QWERTY keyboard, being my favourite feature (and irrisistible to fiddle with). Whilst a physical keyboard is great, above all, I like a big screen and the KEY2s lose an inch, due to the permanently exposed keyboard.
Think I'll stick with the Priv for now.
