I will probably get the K1 but am waiting for the unlocked 4GB model to import into the USA.

Will there be any difference in the cell service for a Canadian market phone in the USA/NE?

Also, anyone know when they'll go on sale?

Thanks.

I hope it has the same radio bands, because I'm planning on importing it as well.
I tried waiting out for the Original KeyOne, but Passport just wasn't holding up for me. Bought a OnePlus in the meantime.
I'd hate to wait it out again only to find out BBM is following in BlackBerry's poor structure.

I'm in the same boat, but i'm on verizon and confused as to whether or not there will be a Canadian cmda version. Anybody figure that one out yet??

US and Canada all use the same bands with the exception of the obvious Sprint and Verizon variants. You'll be able to import a Black Edition from Canada for use in the US no problem unless you are on Sprint or Verizon. Same goes for the silver version as well, the Black Edition is literally just a paint job as far as the supported bands are concerned.

BBB100-1 Canada, LATAM, APAC, US V1

4G: FDD-LTE B1/2/3/4/5/7/8/12/13/17/19/20/28/29/30; TDD-LTE B38/39/40/41


3G: WCDMA 850/900/1700/1900/2100 MHz


2G: GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

You should, however, avoid importing one from any other region other than Canada. It might work, for the most part, but the potential to run into issues is there depending on your carrier/where you live:

I can't wait any longer, I need a black edition. I'm so over this priv. idk why but it has slowed down so much

Canada has evolved past CDMA, therefore there's no need for it up here.

Should be fine for At&T and T mobile. But you Sprint and Verizon users are out of luck.

The two major networks that ever had a huge CDMA network was Bell and TELUS! Both companies have since switched and migrated those customers to GSM with Cat6 LTE! CDMA was shut down a few years ago!

I think if the US ever decides to abandon the Imperial system (feet, inches and Fahr), Verizon and Sprint will still persist in using them!

Anyone with an unlocked non AT&T KeyONE on AT&T service able to confirm advanced LTE and VVM working?

Thanks for your post. I just canceled my order for one from the UK. I am now anxiously awaiting the release of the Canadian version for pre-order.
