KEY2 LE CrackBerry review?
I've been hanging tight with my Keyone. Haven't felt the need to pull the trigger on the Keytwo or LE. Just wondering if the folks at Crackberry are going to post a review of the LE or discuss it in a podcast. It's been awhile since the last podcast.
Keytwo LE Crackberry review?
Most reviewers have little experience with a PKB and as a result are biased from the start. For most reviewers using a PKB now results in the same aggravation that PKB lovers feel when they use glass. There is an adjustment period for both VKB’s and PKB’s.
I find GSM arena reviews to be more or less free of bias. Still , their bias shows up at the end.
“BlackBerry phones have always been a niche product. In fact, it's in their DNA and at the core of the particular business model. Aside from the odd nostalgia-driven end-user, the bulk of these phones also live solely within enterprise environments. A place where a different set of problems, requirement, and corresponding solutions are the norm.
Hence, judging devices like the KEY2 LE from the same standpoint and pre-disposition as any other end-user smartphone out there is a flawed approach. Still, realistically, that's the only approach we can objectively have here. As such, even with its slashed price tag and what we think are reasonable downgrades, to go along, it is still a bad fit and value proposition for most regular users.”
“That being said, the faith of the KEY2 LE will surely depend on the enterprise consumer. If TCL has done its homework right and a toned-down, yet still proper BlackBerry experience is what business craves, then we have little doubt that the KEY2 LE will be successful within the comfy little niche BlackBerry has carved out for itself.”
The assumption that the LE must aimed at business users is flawed. Either that or TCL’s business model.

Also, ask these reviewers to write any of their review on a smartphone, and have them choose between something like the KEY2 and a slab, they’d think twice about picking up the slab for that job.
Subconsciously, I think many of them admit that the PKB is more efficient for writing on.
Is it though? For you yes and many CrackBerry members. I see iPhone or Android phone users, using two thumbs, type blindingly fast. I think the ability to type efficiently is a skill. Myself, I am probably equally as bad on both. I do use auto suggest which increases my speed which tells you that I cannot type very fast or efficiently.
I think the value of a PKB is in always having a keyboard at the ready and for some the ability to type without looking at the keys to some extent. There is value in the tactile feed back. I look upon the PKB as being similar to a manual transmission in that regard.
