- So when someone posts "KeyONE, the best and fastest phone in the world(I've ever used)". Is it the absolute right evaluation of that phone?
The only thing good about the KeyONE is it's keyboard and battery, maybe also it's unique standout design. Other than that, nothing, nothing at all. It's just another overpriced phone for normal consumers. If they want a device with a keyboard, this is their only choice, so they don't mind shelling out that much money. But for others, it's just an ordinary or below par device!
There will be something wrong with some batch of the phones or some individual devices, it doesn't mean they are purposefully occurring so as to degrade the BlackBerry brand value, which is non existent! Who benefits from degrading it? Lol!

That is the target market. Not general consumers.05-30-17 08:14 AMLike 0 - KEYone is definitely not a phone for "normal consumers". KEYone is targeted for business people, professionals and others that like PKB. These users also like a few of the main steam apps. Not gamers or professional photographers.

BlackBerry were too late to the game with Z10 and not enough proper apps. This is the first real solid external keyboard device (Priv was not a good device) that has apps and above average specs. Will it be like iPhone or Samsung; No, but it will cater to a Niche market that could be profitable for TCL and BlackBerry.05-30-17 08:24 AMLike 0

2.PKB for less mistakes typing and also faster in time because you are not correcting mistakes all the time because of auto correct.
3.Very integrated Contacts and Calendar into Hub. (Only available on Android)
4.Meeting mode.
5.Productivity Tab
6.Cut and paste takes half the time with control C on PKB.
7. 56 key short cuts. Plus an extra convenience key
8. Larger screen space to compose emails or texts so you can see your long but very important messages and not having to scroll because VKB takes up half the screen.
9. Did I mention the longest lasting battery? Great for travellers, Doctors, Lawyers and anyone that does not want the hassle of carrying a battery pack or charger.
It's all about less time spent looking finding, correcting, extra clicking and knowing it's secure.Last edited by Pinot2015; 05-31-17 at 10:10 PM.

Productivity tab? Who uses that? Lol just a gimmick, I ready a lot of comments here in CB that they just mostly turn it off, since they don't use it.
Anyone with Marshmallow or above can install those BlackBerry android apps you mentioned such as hub, contacts etc.
Keyboard covering up half the display? Really? Does that bother a 5.5-6" smartphone? Also did you see LG V30?
BlackBerry is for business people or professionals are a thing of the past when BlackBerry was the only smartphone to support push mail and stuff. Not anymore, most of the phones can do things much better than a BlackBerry right now.
Posted via CB1006-01-17 03:15 AMLike 0 - Half of the features you mentioned are because of the keyboard and then the battery you said. Which I've mentioned in my previous post!

You completely ignore the benefits of productivity and security (can't root). You asked why it is better and I reminded you in the 8 points.
I did say HUB is available on Android did I not?
Okay big guy, you tell me why LG V30 is better in any way for productivity than KEYone? So when productivity matters; KEYone is by far the best.
I use a 5" Google Pixel for the record but I'm not even close to pretending it's as productive as KEYone. I don't like larger slabs as it's a pain to carry around in a suit or use with one hand and not so fun when skiing in winter, I actually stopped using the DTEK 60 as it was too big.
Remember, people using this device mostly don't do live gaming on their device or use a ton of apps.Last edited by Pinot2015; 06-01-17 at 07:54 AM.

Also the point about BB being for working professionals is invalid now imo. If that were the case, BB phones would be selling like hotcakes considering there are so many professionals and businessmen in the world. Let's face it, the appeal is only to PKB enthusiasts now, sadly.06-01-17 08:17 AMLike 0 -

Saying all that, it's still very much Niche market for people that want PKB.06-01-17 08:24 AMLike 0 -
- So you admit because of PKB that battery, shortcuts, less mistakes made that KEYone is better for productivity; which matters to professionals and other business people and Government workers.

PP, Priv and dteks were geared to professionals as well, didnt save the brand. Nowadays they need to give something more and be creative.06-01-17 08:48 AMLike 0 - My second day on the device, its no more predictive than the 5 SE i was using. Aside for the keyboard and without the tool belt like the Classic it aint any faster...let me tell you.

I know what you mean, although in my case i cant see using or setting up that many shortcuts and i do a lot of work on my phone. Truthfully, i think its because i have just gotten used to vkb over the past years. But i honestly overcame missing the toolbelt or shortcuts tbh.
not dismissing the shortcuts, just that a well balanced vkb's caught up on productivity side. Os dependent too right.06-01-17 09:56 AMLike 0 - OP=the sky is falling and I'm worried that readers of this forum may be dissuaded from enjoying the absolute goodness that is the KeyOne!06-01-17 10:10 AMLike 0
- Yes productive. Thanks for the correction.

Only if BlackBerry launched the phone properly on time, KeyONE could have been a good sale. Not once they get it right.
I still feel KeyONE is a great phone, 3 things I don't like about it are, display quality, speakers and no swipe up gesture from home button.

If Hub is available on other phones, why is it mentioned as plus point on KeyONE, it's like mentioning there's snapchat on KeyONE.
Dual display, assign frequently used apps in the secondary display, much more possibility than a layer just capable of having a keyboard!
I think KeyONE is larger than your Pixel! :P
Who said anything about gaming? And about apps, on what basis you said that? Applications are what power a smartphone. Not just the calling or emailing feature. BlackBerry OS users don't use apps because there are no apps available, if they didn't want a ton of apps, BlackBerry 10 would have still been here, kicking ***!
