This is the Blackberry that has gotten me to give up my Blackberry 10 Passport as my primary phone. The thing I've always enjoyed about Blackberry is the functionality and ease of use of their phones. The keyboard on this phone is outstanding. I don't have to leave the home screen to open my favorite apps or call friends because I can assign those things (2 per button) to the buttons on the keyboard and I don't have to home screen to open up something else, I just press the speed key and the button for an app that I want to open. You can assign up to 52 apps or phone numbers. Awesome! The keyboard also functions as a track pad, which is great for scrolling web pages and documents. The fingerprint sensor is also a pretty cool feature as well. There are other things that I like, but these were the main reasons I bought this phone.

I'm going to leave a simple review... Every entrepreneur, business owner, professional needs this device, that's all I'm saying. Please ignore the negative comments

*This is not a paid review* After watching several YouTube reviews and reading several articles, I decided to give this phone a try. I am truly amazed by this phone and its features already, and its only been a few days. Some of the cons I read were: the camera quality, the speaker sound at high levels, the older 4.5" screen, and the older Snapdragon 660 processor. While I would have liked the camera quality to be better, I did not get this phone just to shot photos. It does a good job just the same. The sound is good for it not being a stereo phone. In fact, it gets quite loud; even louder than my old stereo speaker phones. The screen is also bright enough for me to do everything I need to do, including outside in the sun. Yes, the screen is smaller too, but you are getting an amazing physical keyboard (which is touch capacitive as well). The phone is fast as well. If I hadn't read the processor was an older chipset, I would have never known. I also read some complaints about the spacebar, which is also the fingerprint reader, being loose. Mine doesn't have that issue and it works great. Wrapping this up I think this is an amazing phone. It comes with the latest version of Android, and all of BlackBerry's outstanding apps. The keyboard is amazing and you can scroll with it (so you aren't really losing too much screen size since a virtual keyboard would be there anyway). It comes with 6 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage. I threw a 128 GB microSD in mine and it is working fine as additional storage. It charges via USB-C, and it does this lightning fast. The battery also lasts at least 24 hours. They are saying close to 2 days, and I believe it (though I charge everything nightly). It plays nice with Android Auto in my car and BlackBerry is claiming future software updates for the next few versions of Android. The only improvements I can think to make on this phone would be to improve the camera quality and make it some sort of waterproof. However, these are not deal breakers for me. Disclaimer- As of now, I'm only tracking this phone as being compatible in the USA for AT&T and T-Mobile. Also, there are not many cases available for this phone at this time. Hopefully, that changes down the road.

Yes, I'm one of those people from whom her Blackberry will have to be pried away from her cold, dead fingers. Nevertheless, I'd been a bit discouraged with offerings of late. No more! Blackberry is back! The Key2 feels like the Blackberry keyboard of old. So much like my old Bold... I'd have even settled for the Q10, especially after the Priv. This is the Blackberry/Android marriage we've been waiting for. Zippy, great feel on the keys, the security we love, and the productivity we need. If you're looking for the perfect social media or online media smart phone - nope, sorry. Camera is okay, but it's no Pixel. Dispite the keyboard, this is a phone first for business. And the screen ratio isn't perfect for movies or videos. But if those aren't the way you primarily use your smart phone, then keep looking at the Key2 Wonderful form factor, thin and light. Great productivity options with the new smart key which allows for customizable shortcuts to any app or function. Expandable storage via micro SD. Full GSM phone, though at this time only supported by AT&T and TMobile in the US. Verizon has not agreed to whitelist it. WiFi calling available through TMobile. MUCH stronger reception than I experienced with my Priv. Unbelievable battery performance. I have yet to have a full day's hard usage take it under 50% by the time I charge it at bedtime. Sorry, powerbanks, you are back in the drawer - I don't need you anymore! Quick charging (through USB C). If you're missing your old Blackberry... time to come back! Want to see why Blackberries were so popular? Try it out! While I never left, I'm once again very proud to be among the Blackberry loyal.

I waited a week before writing this to get used to the phone. As a former iPhone user, and also a former Blackberry Z10 user, there was a learning curve, but this device exceeded my expectations, blending some of my favorite things from the BB OS10 environment with the benefits of the Android system, without the fussiness of Apple's black-box approach to the user interface. With the key2 you get complete control and can tailor settings to your actual uses. The speed key, the convenience key, and programmable shortcuts on the keyboard make this machine a productivity beast, multitasking with ease. Battery life is phenomenal- two days is normal on one charge. Keyboard is awesome- the first time I've had a smartphone with physical keyboard, so new to me, but a real plus--positive tactile feedback, accurate, touch typing backlit. Moving music and photos was simple matter of switching memory cards and using the native file app to move them onto the native memory. so far totally loving this phone. Arrived on time from Best Buy.
