- I've been using my Priv since launch, and while it's held up very well considering how badly I have treated it, I can tell that it probably isn't going to last much longer.
I've only really been considering two devices to replace it, either a KeyOne or the Pixel XL 2.
Seeing as the original KeyOne has (for the most part) either the same or worse hardware compared to my Priv, I'm really only intersted in the Black edition with 4 gigs of ram and more storage. The only issue is, as far as I know it's not yet available in the US.
Are there any rumors that suggest it will ever make it here officially? Or do you guys think I'm better off just getting the pixel? I already know the pros and cons of each device and while I love them both I think I would definitely prefer the KeyOne. It really just comes down to if it will be available anytime soon.

What issues are you referring to?10-15-17 03:33 PMLike 0 -
Just cheap quality and bad QC.
The Pixel 2 on the other hand is a flagship, but no headphone jack and no micro SD card slot make it essentially a useless brick.
I think they're both terrible, I'd recommend the V30, S8/note 8... And that's really it.

I say just do it and don't look back. but that being said if the keyone dies on me I will be heart broken and will consider a change.anon(8063781) likes this.10-15-17 08:25 PMLike 1
- The keyone is under powered. Runs slow, the screen issues, signal issues, bad capacitive buttons, the list goes on.

I upgraded to the Keyone, and certainly have not seen any speed issues - even though it is a 6xx Snapdragon instead of an 8xx Snapdragon, the newer processor is better in every way I have seen - everything is snappy, the battery lasts way longer, even file transfers are significantly quicker.
I did have an issue where the Keyone stopped powering up, and while customer service was slow to get a shipping label to send it in, everything else went quick and I have my working KeyOne back.
Even with the headache of sending it in, I'd still recommend it.10-15-17 09:45 PMLike 0 -

I think the quoted guy is looking for some amazing hardware software combo which at that point you might as well build one yourself and program it yourself to see how difficult it is to get everything "right" to your standards...Qorax likes this.10-15-17 09:58 PMLike 1 - "The Pixel is a brick because it doesn't have expandable memory and doesn't have a headphone jack" oh please are you hearing yourself?Denise in Los Angeles likes this.10-15-17 10:06 PMLike 1
- OP, if you're only posting this question here, then you are probably leaning more towards a KEYᵒⁿᵉ and you're looking for comments to justify your hidden desire 😉
I have been a BB user for almost a decade now, and currently use only 1 phone, a KEYᵒⁿᵉ, and while it is not perfect, it's definitely great... for my mobile phone needs.
But in my unbiased opinion/suggestion, if you don't need a pkb, I suggest not getting a BlackBerry at all.Qorax likes this.10-15-17 10:06 PMLike 1 - I've been using my Priv since launch, and while it's held up very well considering how badly I have treated it, I can tell that it probably isn't going to last much longer.

I know many will disagree with me but I'm pleased. Just depends on what you want out of a phone.
Flicked via the BlackBerry keyboard on my PixelQorax likes this.10-15-17 10:28 PMLike 1 - I just went from the Priv to the original Pixel and I'm pleased. Just had to load the BlackBerry virtual keyboard on it and the hub suite and I'm good to go. It flies compared to the Priv. Also HAS the headphone jack unlike the new Pixels. Plus the price on this model is going down with the release of the new Pixel 2 phones.

Regarding the KeyOne: I have not had any QC issues at all. Occasionally I get some lag but nothing major. Usually I notice this most after a Hub or service update, and a reboot solves the problem. I have also not had any signal issues or button issues. Also, I wind up typing all of my work email on the KeyOne because I'm just so much faster and more accurate on a physical keyboard (I used only touch screen for 3 years so I gave it a good chance). So I guess experience varies by user...
Edit to add: I'm in the beta program for the Hub suite of apps, so that may also affect my user experience.10-16-17 09:50 AMLike 0 - I just went from the Priv to the original Pixel and I'm pleased.

- The KEYᴼᴺᴱ in the grand scheme of things is a great device. If a pkb is necessary, don't need to search anywhere else. I have had mine since 5/31. No screen issues. Just minor complaints. But overall it is a workhorse with long battery life. Highly recommended.10-16-17 10:07 AMLike 0

So yeah I pay the 99¢ per month, and in my opinion it is totally worthy it. (Still can't buy the keyboard though. And for me it's a MUST).

Headphone jack technology is older than me... and on it's way out. Reducing the number of ports, makes it easier to waterproof.
SD Card slot is nice, but for real performance and durability... big internal storage is what's key. Using an SD Card for Internal storage can be a problem depending on the quality of the card. In the end the user experience gets blamed on the phone OEM and not the card OEM.FF22 and Laura Knotek like this.10-17-17 07:34 AMLike 2 - I've been using my Priv since launch, and while it's held up very well considering how badly I have treated it, I can tell that it probably isn't going to last much longer.
