Excellent budget phone for Blackberry and Android lovers.

Good looking phone. Great battery life and fasting charging capability. Android 8.1 (Oreo) operating system. Blackberry old school keyboard. Fingerprint sensor in the space key is unique feature. Bulky phone weights 180 grams. Phone has a bit slippery back door so needs to be careful while holding. There exists no perfect tempered glass in market which can be filled completely on the screen because of its curved screen. if a tampered glass is ON, the touch sensitivity would be reduced and it would not be as good as without tampered glass screen. Sound output from earphones / headphone jack is OK.Camera quality is also good. Overall a good deal for the price I paid.Read full review...

Bargain Blackberry for the Frugal Shopper

Good value device. It does have some flaws (keeping in mind it is from 2017), device memory can get overwhelmed and require some programs to be closed, also the keyboard is stiff. So far it charges well and holds it's charge, there has been a couple of glitches here and there, but overall I am happy with the device. It is a good device cost wise to make due until the new Onward Mobility 5G Blackberry is released later this year. TCL still offers phone support for the KeyOne but as the device is end of life, TCL offers no repair service as parts are discontinued. According to my last conversation with TCL the Key2 is still supported (would recommend a prospective buyer verify their own details with TCL before purchasing). However the cost of the Key2's are very expensive. If you are looking for a Blackberry to hold you off until the new 5G Blackberry comes out, the KeyOne is the way to go. If you want to invest more and hang onto a Key2 for some time that may be something to consider if you are in no rush to upgrade to the new 5G Blackberry (once it comes to market).Read full review...

A Nice Phone For Physical Typing

This is a nice handy device if you need all of your email, text, and phone calls all managed in one app called the BlackBerry Hub. As well, if you are missing the more tactile input from physical keys than typing on a glass screen, this phone provides a nice input experience. The only downsides for me are the on-the-low-end battery life, and the few flights of stutter when using more demanding apps like Waze or Facebook.Read full review...

BlackBerry KeyOne: All for one and KeyOne for all!

No, this is not 2007. Yet ten years after RIM's heyday my enthusiasm for a BlackBerry device has never been higher! The BlackBerry KeyOne is simply put, a phone fully capable of leisure activity, but optimized for productivity.

The spec sheet for this phone is modest, packing a Snapdragon 625 chipset (octo-core 2000 MHz), 3gb of ram, 32 gb native internal memory (expandable up to 2tb by way of microSD), 3505 mAh battery with quick quick via USB-C port, 8 megapixel front camera, a 12 megapixel Sony rear camera capable of 4k shooting and slow-motion capture (same sensor found on the praised Google Pixel), a 4.5 inch touch screen with 434 ppi density (better than a iPhone 7+ !), a fingerprint scanner built into the space bar (because it has an awesome full physical qwerty keyboard!), and an ingenious universal audio out auxiliary port called a headphone jack(I am looking at you apple !).

So what does all this really mean?

A super complete mobile phone ready for anything! (Short of a dip in the pool, because there isn't an IP Code rating). As my only phone, there is honestly nothing to complain about. The phone is a breeze to use once you get used to typing on physical keyboard. The camera takes exceptional quality photos, videos are great as well. Productivity apps such as PowerPoint , Microsoft Office and others run smoothly without a problem. Apps such as snapchat, Facebook, eBay, all work without a hitch as well. Furthermore, the battery can easily last a whole day if not more! The overall build quality of the phone is sturdy and excellent.

When compared to flagship phones recently released such as the Note 8, IPhone 8, 8+ and X, LG V30 and so on, the specs are slightly lower, but specs aren't everything! The BlackBerry with its own specialized streamlined android OS, physical keyboard and touch screen duality, unique productivity and security systems make for a great overall product.

As much as I like to keep divulging on my concurrent use, nothing can give you the full experience and satisfaction as purchasing one of these amazing phones yourself! Best BlackBerry phone yet. Thanks for your time, and hopefully catch you on BBM, have a great day!

Great phone with a physical keyboard!

The Blackberry Keyone is a great phone - I especially like the physical keyboard. I previously had an old and very small phone so it took a little while to get comfortable with the size of the Blackberry, especially when using the keyboard since it is the bottom 1.5" of the phone. I like all of its capabilities and features and am glad I purchased it.Read full review...

Great size for me...

I HAVE BEEN A BLACKBERRY USER FOR QUITE A WHILE. FROM the smallest to the current model. One of the key factors for me is the keyboard, just love the keys. One braw back I have is the battery life, this could be a little better.Read full review...

Way better than the PRIV

My years with the PRIV have been a nightmare. Overheating doing absolutely nothing, sluggish as all hell. But I just can't fathom the idea of using a phone without a keyboard. I prefer the design of the PRIV somewhat but the KeyOne has run like a dream so far. All the same apps. No slowdowns, no overheating and I live in Arizona where it's hot as hell all the time. I did not have to get used to the KeyOne keyboard at all either.

The battery life seems eternal sometimes. With normal usage or even over the night it might be at like 75 or higher at the end of the day. Even with a lot of screen time.

Hasn't felt sluggish with my usage so for me its near perfect. It also does come with a headphone jack and expandable storage on top of the 32gb factory one. (I believe there is a version with double that). The Unlocked BBB100-3 is Verizon compatible. Any other might not be. Took a while to track this one down but I'm so much happier now that I did.

What did me in on my Priv was loading maps. I opened it and sat there for five minutes screaming in my car. With this phone it's a breeze, as it should be. If you're thinking about making the jump, do it.

BlackBerry KeyOne

I must say that I'm thoroughly impressed with this phone. I've been a Die hard BlackBerry user for we'll over 10yrs and they have finally got the BB/Android integration correct. Battery life is excellent, I charge the device every other day ( my usage is well above average), I wasn't lost during the setup or felt like this was just another Android. To sum it up I feel like this specific Android Is superior to the rest simply because of the BlackBerry integration. I can play, and more importantly still be productive without sacrificing my security...Read full review...

Long battery life

After making a few battery optimizations (main one was putting the screen brightness very low) I got an easy 3 days with medium use (setting up the phone, playing music, downloading and running apps, played a game or 2), and even got 7 days with light use (mainly just messaged people).
The keyboard is also nice to use.
But the feature that I love the most is the fingerprint scanner. Instantly unlocks my phone with no effort at all.

A secured Blackberry Andriod Device.

A secured BlackBerry Android phone.The best of both worlds.
Just imagine if a BlackBerry 10 OS device had access to all the applications in Google store.
Well the the BBB100 can do this and more.With fast processing power and plenty of expandable storage space,its really one of the best devices out there.Read full review...
