How's the keyone holding up?


It's held up well. I don't have any of the screen issues (yet). However, it's simply not as good of a device as my previous BB10 phones. The reception isn't near as good, the speaker quality isn't as good, and the keyboard swiping is nowhere near as good. Android runs fine and I do enjoy still getting to utilize the Hub even if it's not as good as BB10.

I never owned any of the BB10 devices so I guess I won't know any difference? Last one I had was the Blackberry Torch which other than being a thick slider I loved, I had countless curves and pearls before it. Been stuck in the samsung active world (s4,s6 now) ever since.

Just debating on wether I should jump or not, seem to be missing a physical keyboard as of late

No Colors has one. Got to see it yesterday. Well built. Nice display/screen. Keyboard reminded me of a Q10.

If the keyboard is your thing then the two modern options are the KeyOne or the Samsung S8 with the keyboard case. As far as specs go, the BlackBerry can't compete with the Samsung. However, BlackBerry's version of Android is way slimmer than Samsung, if that's important to you.

Didn't think to grab a screen-cap, but during Harvey there was a presser by some Army Corps of Engineers honcho standing on top of one of the Houston dams. In the middle of giving stats on various levels he stopped to check his phone... from the elongated touchscreen and keyboard I'd swear it was a KeyOne.

So AT&T finally has the K1? Might have to head over to the local AT&T store tomorrow. Keyboard on the Q10 is really showing its age.

KEYone is only available online
OK, that's looking like a virtual trip to said store...
