They are always fun events

I did, yep. They didn't have them on display like the KeyOne and Motion, but I got to handle one.

It's thinner, lighter, same battery size, bigger keyboard, dual speakers, and the power button moved to the right side.

That's pretty much all I was able to get.

If true those would (maybe) cover the main issues I have with the KEYone. Speaker kinda sucks (muffled) the phone is a bit heavy. Keys are...not up to BB standards. Power button keeps getting pressed while in my holster.

As for the battery, its awesome....but I need it to be a bit longer lasting, I do hit 10% quite often.

I don't use the camera that often, but when I do, I often need zoom. Hopefully the dual camera setup will help that.

Usually it’s things like cost/demand/tradeoffs

Although I have no idea, but how much could an extra speaker cost?

Was it shorter than KEYone? Was the back texture grippy?

Speakers do take up a lot of internal space....but I think its worth it to have a good sounding device. People seem to forget these days that a phone's primary function is to make "phone calls" I know people who don't even have voice plans on their phones.... Wouldn't that make them PDA's?

[towngirl]

Were you able to confirm what the 'magic' button does?

Yes! But you had to be there. It's a secret

They kept a watchful eye on that phone!! lol

I don't think anyone will be disappointed by the KEYtwo ...

[towngirl]

And the the walls of the bar needed some acoustics absorbing.. It was hard to heard.

Amen to that. Apple doesn't seem to have any trouble doing this for devices in BBMo's price range. BlackBerry never used to have trouble with it either. Sadly gone are the days when I used to be able to put my BlackBerry on a boardroom table for an impromptu conference call and it was actually loud and clear enough to double as a speaker phone.

There is also the matter of where to put it.

I would be more concerned with quality rather than stereo.

True.
But I believe there will be some sort of limitation to a single speaker, no matter how good it is.
Even I wouldn't want a stereo speaker just for the sake of it.

Kinda like the leap ...super grippy

Agreed, if you accidentally cover that grill it’s useless , a least with a second grill there is chance you don’t lose sound

Also agree, that the quality is most important , just wished it had the second grill, but I’ll get over that

Exactly. I still cling on to the Z30 just because of those stereo speakers. They are top class.
But like you said, will have to get over it.
