The BlackBerry DTEK50 and DTEK60 are both available on BlackBerry’s online store with special offers for Valentine’s Day, according to CrackBerry. TCL produced these handsets, which were later re-branded to add the BlackBerry name, its Android version with Hub and other special features. A convenience key was added as well.

The current offer is a good opportunity for buyers who are interested in buying the device but have been holding out for a while. It would be a really special gift for those receiving it from their significant other.

The handset is expected to be announced at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) trade show later this month. The flagship phone was briefly teased at CES last month.
