- Funny my SE serves me better than any phone I've ever had in running two businesses every day. Maybe it's a miracle, I don’t know. I'm glad you have phone that works well for you, whatever phone that is. But that's just me. I'm not a smug, condescending keyboard warrior judging other people's phone choices and needs.

Posted via CB1001-17-18 10:23 AMLike 2 - just read through the comments and can not understand why people talk about the passport in the past? I use this device for years now used to have the se but the og is much classier. apart from my problems with viber wich is the only android app I use this device works without any problems at all. used to have the k1 didn't like it at all, its inferior in every way in my opinion. if you get along with the minuses this phone will suit you for years to come.

-It holds the square top corners and ugly speaker grill, which doesn't even act as a secondary speaker, so not forgivable. (People already think of BB as ancient devices, so putting that kind of grill doesn't help at all. Thankfully the Black Edition hides that better)
-It holds the silver frame, but it isn't nearly as nice since the silver part doesn't extend to act as the chin or keyboard frets. This is what made the PPSE design feel so unified.
-It holds a wanna be textured back, but obviously not even close to how the PPSE actually gripped on to the hand.
-And of course it doesn't hold the matte black keyboard keys.
But yeah other than that, PPSE paved the way for KEYone.Qorax likes this.02-14-18 07:36 AMLike 1 - Unfortunately, the KEYone inherited the bad things about the PPSE's design, and not many of the good ones.

*everything about it oozes class including better build quality and robustnessratfinkstooley and falbo like this.02-14-18 07:41 AMLike 2 - Just to add my experience with both phones. For me build quality of the passport was superior bit I did not have screen lift problems. Double typing was a problem though. The back came off my Keyone, but it's quite a solid phone. The keys are too small. Most of all I liked the work wide theme the most and wish it came back. I hope for a keytwo plus! All said I dislike my dtek60 which after one year has had battery problems. For my the jury is still out on TCL build quality.Qorax likes this.02-17-18 03:10 PMLike 1

Completely agreed on silver frame!
The grip is good but not as good as passport!
Posted via CB1002-19-18 04:40 PMLike 0 - I have a brand new black passport 32gb bought at the same time as my silver keyone.
Very disillusioned by the keyone, it does not work straight out of the box, 3 weeks and I'm still trying out 'different' apps......... so many!
I'm selling the keyone and will use my new passport, if I only get 2 years service and then the BB10 servers or whatever it is are switched off, that'll be a productive 2 years where something will have worked as it should.
May be in 2 years BlackBerry will have realised their mistake and there will be a device available that reflects the BlackBerry standards we have known and loved for years.
RIP Keyone, long live the Passport!02-25-18 11:34 AMLike 5 - Just switched back to a PP from a Z30. I'm never giving up this phone and will keep replacing it if it breaks until I can't use the Web browser, email or phone anymore. This is my third PP and there will be a fourth if this breaks.
If I can use this phone for 10 more years I probably will.

To be quite honest I don't like the Android operating system much at all. I have gravitated to it for really only 2 reasons: the huge app selection and the fact that it's the only remaining alternative to Apple. But from a user experience perspective it's really a jumbled inefficient mess.
That's my opinion, FWIW. The smartphone wars are over, and for better or worse Android and iOS were the two left standing. It would have been great if a third OS could've made it into the mix, if only so the consumer would have more choice. I think BB10 and WebOS were conceptually better operating systems than Android.

I think I will keep my PP forever until they completely disable the calling and emailing functions. There's no device like my PP. It defines everything about me and my personality.

- Yes, the Passport is an amazing phone. It will be a sad day when I finally have to move to another phone. At the moment, all is working well. I tried the keyone for awhile but love the Passport better. So I'm back on the Passport and gave the Keyone to a family member.
The one thing I'm bummed about is that the Beweather radar doesn't seem to be working anymore. Has anyone else experienced this and found a fix / work around?03-09-18 01:02 PMLike 0 - 03-09-18 01:14 PMLike 0
- when it comes to the flick to type on the keyboard Passport takes it hands down.

Posted via the great Passport Silver Edition03-11-18 04:53 PMLike 2 - I finally got my hands on a KeyOne and loved how it felt in hand, but they keyboard just can't compare to the Passport keyboard.
A shame they couldn't seem to figure out how to use the PP keyboard on the KeyOne.
Also, it's android...aka garbage. That said, if the price were lower I would enjoy playing with a KeyOne because I seems like the best Faux-blackberry yet. Hardware would be something I could work with, except that idiotic android button belt.
Further, my SE is working quite well still. Haven't even touched my backup yet.
