It's been a few days since we met the new BlackBerry Mercury, the first that will not be manufactured by the Canadian company in a direct way, but will be the first result of the collaboration with TCL. This new mobile device will have a physical keyboard as the main attraction and according to the latest information will be officially presented at the next CES 2017.
This is not just a rumor and is that several messages on Twitter from Steve Cistulli, president of TCL, leave no doubt about the next presentation of the new BlackBerry at the event to be held as every year in the American city of Las Vegas. .
Here we show you the Cistulli's Twitter messages that leave little room for doubt;

Regarding this new BlackBerry Mercury will have some very mid-range specs, with a 4.5-inch screen, a Snapdragon 652 processor, 3GB RAM, 32GB internal storage, and an 18-megapixel camera. As for the operating system, we will enjoy Android again, leaving the BlackBerry 10 failure to be forgotten.
We do not expect too much from this BlackBerry Mercury, which will try to squeeze a bit more the success and relevance of QWERTY keyboards, which unfortunately especially for BlackBerry and TCL are increasingly in disuse. Hopefully at CES we see a different terminal than expected, and this Mercury is more of the same, without awakening any interest in too many users.
Do you think that the BlackBerry Mercury will succeed in the competitive mobile phone market?.
