I'm super excited about this device! Love the old BlackBerry style QWERTY Keyboard!
I'm jumping on this as soon as it's out

I just wish the BlackBerry Contacts doesn't mess up the Google Contacts and make them disappear like it did on my previous BlackBerry PRIV

Mercury was a much better name tho.
Still, I might get this or DTEK60 once my Q10 dies, unless RIM will decide to release BBOS10 phone of course...jaug1337 likes this. -

After reading a couple reviews, I think this is a really good device. Certainly better than their prior Android offerings to date. And with Blackberry's commitment to prompt security updates, it may be a better option for corporations and security-conscious purchasers than your typical Samsung/LG/Motonovo, while offering more business-friendly features* and a lower price than your typical iPhone (what currently rules among security-conscious businesses).
*Huge battery life, physical keyboard, drag-and-drop file transfers to and from Windows PCs.jaug1337 and Spartan@HIDevolution like this. -

If the KEYone uses the software correctly, I can imagine a very optimised battery life!Spartan@HIDevolution and Mitlov like this. -
I am jumping on the bandwagon to see what its like for sure. It won't replace my iPhone because my family is routed into imessage and that works awesome for us, but I could totally use this for some fun for sure!

Starlight5 Yes, I'm a cat. What else is there to say, really?
Nice keyboard indeed. But it all boils down to being a Blackberry device, that is locked bootloader and no root.

The whole purpose is that it's a BlackBerry - the security aspect.. I am not sure what purpose your comment even servesSpartan@HIDevolution likes this. -

Security measures now a days are basically different shaped walls with spikes and other obstacles, once someone gets the proper gear and a plan, they are all (within reasons) climable.
As sad as it is.. this was proven by the CIA leakbackdoors and antimatter-powered hacking devices loose within the government, how nice.

And here's a camera comparison between the Galaxy S8 and the BlackBerry KeyOne, very good results from the KeyOne surprisingly! This could be the year's best all round phone with great battery life, a physical keyboard, and a great camera:

Seems like a good phone.
Wonder if I will be able to get it for half price off in a year -

I'm definitely considering picking up either the Keyone, or the Oneplus 5, once they're officially released! Been using my cracked S7 for the past two months! Initial battery life on the Keyone has me leaning towards that!

Just pre-ordered a BlackBerry KeyOne with 1 year damage protection for USD $598 (The 1 year damage protection was an extra $54 USD)
Delivery Date: 25th of May 2017
Never been excited about a new phone in such a long time. Bring s back the same kind of excitement I had when I got a BlackBerry Bold 9700.
These days, every Android phone seems to add one thing or two max, or faster CPU or whatnot, this phone seems like a whole new experience with a full keyboard and stellar battery life, not to mention the awesome camera which has the same sensor from the Pixeljaug1337 and killkenny1 like this. -

Guys this is one of the best phone of the decade! They keyboard is just a joy to type on, has a nice clicky feeling not hard to press like the PRIV.
Phone has 0 bloatware just like stock Android with some BB Apps like the BB Hub.
The battery life is phenomenal, it just refuses to go down! With my Galaxy S7, just leaving it idle drains battery like no tomorrow despite me having location off and all background apps off. With the KeyOne, everything is on including location and it just lasts forever!
and the slower CPU doesn't affect anything, the phone is snappy like heck! Its all about the software optimization and no TouchWiz probably is what makes it feel even smoother than the S7
More to come soonkillkenny1, jaug1337 and Mitlov like this. -

The camera is superb, records @ 60 FPS FHD with no video stabilization or 30 FPS with video stabilization
Also, I strongly urge you to see these neat tricks about the keyboard:

Don't buy this case guys: BlackBerry KEYone Case, CoverON [ClearGuard Series] Hard Clear Back Cover with Flexible TPU Bumpers Slim Fit Phone Cover Case for BlackBerry KEYone - Black / Clear
It fits the phone well and easy to install but the power button and volume keys are so hard to press it almost makes the phone useless with them. Stay away! Horrible case!
Can't wait for the OEM BlackBerry case for the KeyOne -
I am so jealous I might cry.
My damn Passport won't die!
