I really love the KEYone's design. I've been holding off on getting a new phone 'til I've done enough research. I think this might be it. I can't wait to use a physical keyboard again! Thanks for the nice quick video there mate :)
I've been using one for most of the day now and I am starting to get attached to it. I have to admit, using a keyboard again is taking some getting used to.
I can believe that! I use blackberries for 3 years now and can't live without physical keyboards now! Did you buy one already or is it the test unit you're using?
Hey there Aaron. I was invited along to the UK launch by their PR company. It might be worth reaching out to them on Twitter/FB or perhaps via their support contact form - www.blackberrymobile.com/support/contact-us/ The KEYone came at the right time as my 6P has just been hit by the bootloop battery drain.
Did you purchase this through Selfridges? I think they have it exclusively until the 5th of May, after which I'll be looking to see if I can do an upgrade through Carphone Warehouse. No idea what the pricing is going to be on an update though!
Yup, picked this one up on release day at Selfridges. You're bang on with the CPW date too gadgetynews.com/blackberry-keyone-launch-first-impressions-video/
Are you able to give an opinion on the speakers? Are they duel stereo as in the BlackBerry Passport? None of the reviews I've seen so far are able to confirm.
who is this guy demonstrating? want to reach him and ask how did he managed to keep that clock widget still while moving to different panes. (@0:44 time)
It's Johnathan Young, UK Country Manager for BlackBerry Mobile. I wish I had asked him which clock widget he was using and how he keeps it on every screen. At the time (pun intended) I just assumed that this was the default look for the KEYone. I've looked through the settings and there doesn't appear to be an option. If I work this out, I'll let you know.
I don't understand why he explained this like it is a new feature when the Blackberry priv can do all of that. more than a year before. the only difference is the touch id
OK, sorry, I really appologize - I was thinking about that 'not for resale' notice on phone: I thought it is 'old-one' from Barcelona. Once again, accept my appology, sir!
Radoslav Gulik - No problem :0) I know where you're coming from and there are a lot of people out there producing clickbait. I appreciate your apology. Have a good one :) gadgetynews.com/blackberry-keyone-launch-first-impressions-video/

It does look awesome! I can't wait till I get my hands on it :)

It's a review sample. Although, if this love affair continues, I may be replacing my faithful Nexus 6P with one.
Jay Garrett How do you go about getting a review unit? and I really hope you like it enough to replace your N6P.

Gotta admit the blend of old and digital is really appealing. If not for the Note 8......
So far I am enjoying the mix of classic BB and new Android. :0)
Yeah I'm getting seduced more and more by the minute in all honesty.
I should have mine by mid next week. Can't wait!! :)
You're one of the lucky ones. Apparently, they were sold out online at launch. Would be interested in hearing what you think about it.
Jay Garrett Yes I was lucky indeed. Got through even later in the day. I'll update you once I have my hands on it.
Great stuff :)
Jay Garrett got mine yesterday and I must say it's probably their best effort yet. Shows they have put quite a bit of work into it.

Lloyd Lawrence They are not dual stereo

that'd be great! I'll try reaching John on Twitter. that layout brings strikes my Bold nostalgia lol
too bad BB will not run Kodi, there is no reason for me to upgrade from my DTEK50 if it can't run Kodi
I can't see why it wouldn't run Kodi like any other Android Nougat 7.1 device. I have Showbox and Plex on the KEYone without issue.

Realy? Anther clickbait video? Old stuff uploaded day after official release of few final units?
Radoslav Gulik Not old stuff. I recorded this video after attending the launch at Selfridges. I then uploaded it about an hour of leaving the event.
also, check the time and date on the phone ;)
