Yesterday we saw the first photos of a toucshcreen-only BlackBerry phone allegedly called the BBC100-1. Now redditors have spotted a listing for the phone at an Indonesian online store.
The phone is listed as the BlackBerry Aurora and it’s up for pre-order for the equivalent of about $260. Or at least it is until someone takes the web page offline.
The page confirms what we’d been hearing about the phone’s specs:
5.5 inch display
Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 processor
4GB RAM
32GB storage
13MP rear camera
8MP front camera
3,000 Ah battery
It’s said to have a USB port, a headset jack, a microSD card reader, and Android 7.0 software. The phone measures about 6″ x 3″ x 0.3″ and weighs about 6.3 ounces.

This looks like a good phone for $260. I like that it has 4GB of RAM, MicroSD card slot, 3000 Ah battery use a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor instead of a lesser known Asian made processor or Intel Atom CPU which were not very good at using some apps.
It is also good that Blackberry still includes a headset jack unlike Apple which no longer includes a headset jack on their iPhone 7.
