Efficient, Quick. Productivity beast
By pj on Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2018
My KeyOne had its screen pop off about a month after its 1 year warranty, and felt it was time for an upgrade. Die hard blackberry fan, and user, since the OS10 days. I received the silver version, and am enjoy it so far, and reminds me of my passport I loved - but was way too big for one handed use. The new key2 seems to be a vast improvement over the key1, and the phone blazes through speed. I don't use my Key2 other than business, so it's devoid of any social media, music, or hungry apps other than email, and enterprise apps. Only downside are the speakers. They are a solid C- grade, and even hearing text messages makes me cringe. Same note on my iPhone, which I use for my personal and all media function, would sound delicate yet clear - whereas these speakers sound tinny, hollow, and very limited in speaker range. Speaker phone however, is about 20% more loud than MAX, on the Key1, which was a big issue for me. Call quality is excellent however, and once I updated all settings to the T Mobile APN, all functions are retained. LTE, voip, WiFi messaging, all work so far If the phone were a little heavier, it would feel substantial, but the build quality is high, without any flex or creaking when applying pressure on frame of phone. If youre a business's owner, the blackberry hub is worth converting, and then the phtyscial keyboard makes typing while looking at the screen redundant. It's it's efficiency you seek, the Key2 is a home run. Edit 1 - migrated and setup the phone to how I wanted it and, after a day of networking. This phone cuts out seconds over every input and I findmyself immersed in accurate note taking, and for when I need to look at sheets and business applications. Absolutely stunned. They keyboard is breaking in and buttons getting softer - I did not like the keys off the KeyOne and felt the keys were too tight, and offered limited ergonomics for all finger types. The key2 has addressed this, and i actually preferr the slight wobble in the keys, as I feel a physical depression of the keys, as I blast through emails. Speakers are crap. That's for sure. In ear calls are very clear however - and I'm only referring to the speaker for media/notes/sounds/etc. Battery life amazing. Was at an networking event, with my major shortcuts set - and it's the first time I was going faster than the info being presented. Impressed. My own efficiency has now increased 20% as the phone is snappy, efficient, and long uses/charge.

Nice piece of hardware but may disappoint long-time BlackBerry diehards
By RH on Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2018
I'll start by saying I'm not an Android fan so that biases my opinion heavily. I really miss using my BlackBerry Passport SE and was hoping the Key2 would be a good replacement. It's OK. The Key2 keyboard is cramped and tactile feedback not the greatest. Spacebar much lighter which is a little tough to get used to. Capacitive keyboard function not as smooth as the PPSE. I've had it for a month now and still not able to use the Key2 like second nature; continue to find it a little clumsy to use. Overall performance pretty good though and battery life is nice. Camera is so-so. BB's implementation of Android better than the Samsung S7 I was using before. To sum up I've got mixed feelings about it but it's not a bad phone.
