Why is this even an article? It's crystal clear that this isn't even a real product. It's not going to ever exist. Why did the writer ever bother writing about this?

Look at the website. If you think this phone is anything more than a high schooler's class project to build a fake product and make a website, you're probably a trump voter. The spelling mistakes alone warrant a laugh.

I'd buy it, looks really sleak nice keyboard design it must have it's own instant message app too.

I can never understand what these people are thinking. Would this even fit in someone's pocket?

On top of that, nobody who is in the market for a blackberry ever cared about having a top end phone. The ones in the market for a top end keyboard phone want a good 5 row qwerty slider.

Surely it's your job to be able to reference the actual device this is based off instead of just saying "it has a keyboard so it's like a Blackberry"? It's the literal form factor and design of the Blackberry Pas#port (which was awesome btw).

For some reason I get a pop-up saying as a new user I'm not allowed to use the word Pas#port.... Weird.

It's never getting made, so no.

Will it work in the USA?
