Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Here is my six day review for my Black BlackBerry Key2. There is no doubt this phone has a specific audience, but if you are part of that audience as far as I am concerned this is an excellent phone! Reasons I like this phone: An excellent physical keyboard. I did not own a BlackBerry Keyone so I can't compare, but this one is bigger, it looks great on my Black version, and it is super clicky. Far better than on my previous BlackBerry, the Priv. I also really like the ability to see my whole phone screen while I scroll websites and many apps with the keyboard working like a mouse wheel. Efficient Speed. My Priv was very slow, but this phone was built to handle android much better than the old phones, with 6 gigs of ram and a snapdragon 660 processor. One of the knocks on the Keyone was the lag, though I can't imagine it was anywhere near as slow as the Priv. Perhaps my biggest reason for liking the phone is the apps. Not only is this a fully functioning Android phone running Android Oreo at launch but it has a suite of great blackberry apps. I haven't had any problems running Android apps, though I don't do too much intensive gaming, Nintendo apps are working fine. The productivity and security of the BlackBerry apps work great for me. I always leave the Hub open and I use it to run my everyday office life. Email, calendar, todo lists I send to my BlackBerry Hub, and I am good to go. I feel safer too running security features on the phone such as dtek, locker, the fingerprint sensor on the keyboard that works very well for me, and Firefox focus when I am dealing with sensitive information. On top of those reasons the phone just works great for me. Using my phone at the office as a tool, this feels like the way to go, though it still runs media very well. Reasons to get it: Keyboard, Blackberry on Android, productivity apps, security, great battery life, great all around phone. Reasons not to get it: Nice screen but awkward video aspect ratio making video smaller than phones with similar screen size, processor works for games, but not cutting edge stuff, if you don't want a physical keyboard it is always gonna be there and there is another BlackBerry for that. 650 is too much for some. No US carrier sells this, and it won't work at all for Verizon or Sprint right now, or maybe ever. Get all the info to make an informed decision as this is definitely a unique product. I researched it out and do not regret my purchase one bit.
