    Are they talking about the 2 different colors here and dual sim version?!

    Or can we expect a KeyThree later this year or something with higher specs?

    We have the KEY², and whatever the BBE device will be called - which appears to be a cheaper version based on the KEY².

    I can't see another device launched this year therefore I am afraid 'two devices' refer to color or memory selection...

    The BBE has already passed Bluetooth certification, and has appeared on geekbench a few times.

    What is BBE? What did I miss? Hats off if they indeed going to launch a whole different device.

    It's a lower spec'd less costly version of KEY2 apparently.

    No kidding! You think it's going to be a lower spec. KEY² like @ray689 mentioned or a completely different device, perhaps a Motion successor?

    Definitely not a motion successor. PKB device based on Key2 form factor with lower specs.

    Keyboard.

    Either a 630 or downclocked 660.

    4GB ram.

    They stated 2 new PKB devices. I'm just assuming since they are pretty new to the game they like won't introduce some new for factor either. The rumor is it will have basically the KeyOne black edition specs with a 400 level SOC and the KEy2 for factor.

    BT 5 means it is a 630 at a minimum. Benchmarks would confirm this or a downclocked 660.

    So basically a KEYᵒⁿᵉ with a Speed Key.

    Is there any pattern of how long before the phone is released after they pass Bluetooth, wifi certifications, etc?

    The KEY² is not like the KEYᵒⁿᵉ apart from the general form factor.

    I don't think so. A K1 Black Edition based will stole potential clients from K2.
    Perhaps K1 Original with the new keyboard and lower processor.

    If it was a K1 BE with K2 body it will be a nice device!

    Price point.

    Not everyone is willing to pay $649. The Lite version might be $499 or so.
