Yes, I have been considering it. But although it's a good phone it's been shrouded in bad press. And in AUS it's still $900 and I don't think it will trump my current nexus 6P.And it's still not my holy grail device - don't really like slide out keyboards, but it is certainly an option.... Plus, I am aware that there are two new mid range blackberries on the way - a full QWERTY keyboard android device and a basic touchscreen, and when they come out, it's awn!

Also considered the BlackBerry Classic but playing around with it in a store yielded a pretty laughably choppy experience similar to using my ancient BlackBerry bold.
They will be announced in July if the BlackBerry CEO is making honest statements! Very excited, its been about a decade in the making!
