Got a PC review coming up for you guys this weekend that I can't wait for you to check out.
Thanks as always for watching,
Justin
Justin Tse can't wait for the PC video when it comes out
Justin Tse I had a Blackberry Storm (the first one)...😖. I REALLY wanted to like it! Battery life was ridiculous though...
Justin Tse great review! I'm pumped for this phone
Calvin Green can't really compare the storm from so long ago to this device. completely different operating system and hardware specs. lits like apples and oranges. the storm was the worst of all blackberries ever made. storm2 slightly better.
Mike Abrames You're right the storm doesn't compare with this particular model. Justin asked if we had a blackberry back in the day, and I was letting him know. Thanks for the heads up, though I don't ever recall any comparison being made by me. Oh well...
such a beautiful looking phone
As a KEYnote owner, good to see balanced and accurate reviews with no premeditated bias.
I had few blackberries back in the day! I'll be switching from my iphone6 back to this blackberry
+Nabil P Niceee! You stoked?!
Nabil P me too! I'm so bored with the phones we've had. Now that I can have a blackberry and all the apps I've grown used to I'm on board with the new blackberry
Yeah I'm pretty pumped! Biggest feature I'm looking forward to is battery life and keyboard. Phone companies still haven't got the message people would sacrifice thinness for a thicker phone with a bigger battery.
Nabil P it's super exiting to hear you say that!
big mistake.
I miss physical keyboards
Kyle DC bring back the sidekick
Kyle DC My first phones were flip phones and I dominated those keyboards. I didn't have to look to text which was great for high school, never got my phone taken away. I had an old BlackBerry but the buttons were so tiny and for some reason I was never as good with the qwerty keyboard as the buttons on a flip phone. I have hated not having buttons ever since I got a smart phone. I make so many mistakes and I hate the new update to the autocorrect because it has never worked properly. Now I'm debating on whether or not to get the S8 now or wait until my carrier decides to release this new BlackBerry. I just don't know if I would be frustrated with these tiny BlackBerry buttons. I just want a flip phone that I can play Pokémon Go on is that too much to ask?
Jsuis14 that would be sick. i miss those phones too. heck iv so many cool ideas for bringong flip phones back
Great video, Justin! You're killing it lately!
+Snazzy Labs haha thanks! Still a long way to go.
Great to see you back!
Great video. Couple of notes. As I watch new time users of BlackBerry's touch sensitive keyboards, everyone seems to scroll incorrectly. To fix this, try scrolling on your screen. Now mimic that exactly on the keyboard. Do that back and forth for a bit and you'll see you don't have to over compensate on the physical keyboard. Secondly, most people don't realize that it takes a good month of use on a physical keyboard to get the full picture. You will understand when you can actually close your eyes and type sentences without mistakes.
+Shawn Burk Thanks for the tips!
That's only one of the awesome advantages of the BB keyboard - typing blind, one handed - and quickly. Perhaps it does take time, but there is no touchscreen keyboard that comes close. The closest would be the BB Z series.
if blackberry came out with some thing like this a few years back it would have blown Samsung and iPhone out of the water
+Danaria Scott Yea, it's nice to see them back on track with the TCL hardware partnership now though.
Justin Tse I know blackberry isn't competing with any body bet the key one looks like a good phone and its going to be blackberry's comeback
Agreed
the q10 was better than any other phone out at the same time and bb10 was also the best software ever made but nobody would give blackberry a chance so it failed. q10 was by far the best phone iv ever had but it got a little frustrating with no app support.
i just got this phone and its horrible. long time blackberry user and been with iphone for just a year but blackberry shit the bed using android.the os is pure shit. ill be going back to my iphone and remain that way until blackberry makes there own software again.
definitely going to be my next phone!! ive owned the q5, q10, and the passport, and tbh the only thing wrong with all of those devices is that they didn't run Android. this phone looks fantastic. can't wait!!
Good job, blackberry. It does stand out. I've never even considered a blackberry until now.
I am a fan of BB and have always been. I had a BB Curve in 2009 and I loved it. I had a curve until 2016 when I I begrudgingly switched to Android because I saw my beloved Blackberry had went under in effect. Yesterday, I went out and picked up my KEYone that I had ordered last week. I love it. Wish Blackberry would come back full.
Nice to see a phone that looks different from all the glass slabs that people carry around. Thanks BB/TCL
I'm from the day of Palm, Treo, Blackberry & Droids....all with hardware keyboards. I was forced onto the Note 2 (which I loved) and eventually the LG V10 but both with glass keyboards, both great phones none the less, but glass keyboards. I tell ya, I'm ready to go back to hardware keyboards and the KeyOne looks like the one for me.
I'm tired of spending more time correcting what I typed than what I typed. Bring back the accuracy of the hardware keyboard !
I will be retiring my V10 in a couple of days when my Keyone arrives.
I'd be very curious to see how you like the KeyOne after using the V10, I'm in the same boat....let me know, I
d greatly appreciate it. Thanks !
glenn kennedy you won't be disappointed... I love my keyone!!
I had maybe 3 blackberry phones back in the days. Bold was my favorite
I had 2 Blackberry's back in the day and never failed but obviously they became outdated when Androids kicked in. It's exciting to see they're coming back!
Had a torch in the past and am now using the keyone and love it
From my first smart phone to today, I've never used any other smart phone than BlackBerry. The introduction of this phone is thrilling to those of us addicted to a physical key pad. For nearly a decade, I've hated every second of borrowing a phone or using my wife's for a moment and having to use a touch-screen keypad... ¡Viva la BlackBerry!
I've been a BB fan since my teenage years, going through about 3 or 4 of them, the last being the BB Classic which I love. I mainly use my Note 5 now, but still switch between the two over the last 2 years. I will always love Blackberry/RIMM for what it's aimed for which works for my lifestyle. I almost never play games or other multimedia. BB is also excellent as my work phone, too.
indeed
i have to say Blackberry did great on this one. I have always like blackberry over all other phones, it just never flowed with the time. hopefully they'll come back with this giving them a push.
After 6 years of failure, black berry finally listened to the people.
Неустановленное Лицо The question is who's paying a $1000 for a damn cellphone 😕
$550.
Katie Fernandes Katie can I have $1000 I need help please
it's because a Chinese company bought the hardware part of them all together with a license to use the name! and blackberry itself don't make any phone anymore
Yeah, but I feel like this phone came out 10 years too late.
Loved your video. The simplicity, the no frills facts, your voice and the music selection !
Also, unrelated to this review, needed to hear a few opinions on the Redmi Note 5 Pro. Need a spare phone. Key things I'm considering is camera and budget.
I own three small businesses, I just got this phone, and I am happy with productivity thus far.
Blackberry classic is the best phone I've ever had... I'm definitely buying the keyone!
You know, I'm a bberry fan. And I was waiting for something like this. I'll get it for sure. BBERRY is alive.
I absolutely love blackberry.. i have had the pearl, bold, another bold, z10, z30, priv, and i just ordered this earlier. Fantastic company
Excellent summary Justin, just ordered one here in the UK (and this from a BB user for 10+ years.....)...
I'm curently having HTC m10.. it is dissapoint me sometimes.. then my old but gold blackberry curve 9220 came out to handle the rest of the day.. Blackberry may not the best phone in the world this day.. But they're great with handling your sht fast.. and that's what most of people would do with their phone.. Glad to see them again this year :D
I had a string of BlackBerry devices from the late 90s to approx 2010. Too bad they never pursued app development seriously enough. Good to see the KeyOne. The first 'quality built' BB Android device with QWERTY.
First time viewer, Great review, clear and concise information of the important and relevant facts. I'm looking at this phone for my next upgraded and it just seems to fit the bill. Never used a physical keyboard so that's my next stop, in store try-out :) have a sub.
I only had Blackberry when they were the phone to have!!!! I can not personally wait to get my hands on this new one!! This going to be my work phone! I am excited.
I am so in love with this phone! Dang it, it is beautiful.
My first blackberry was the Pearl 9100, 10 years ago! I loved it! I also had the two different Curves, the Bold 9700 and the Bold 9900. I still enjoy blackberry.
Thanks Justin. I am a Blackberry lover. Still on my Priv but am looking at changing to the KEYone. thanks for the honest review.
I had a Curve 9300 & the Bold from the 9700 to the 9900.
This is the phone of the year..
I had the entry level blackberry pearl and actually loved it for the time
Whatta great review. No frills, just a straight forward review. Nicely done! 👌
+Daniel Serapio Appreciate it Daniel!
I still have my blackberry tour, loved that phone
Great review Justin. It has an on-screen keyboard. If you hit the "sym" button on the keyboard it will come up on the screen.
BB perfecting its phone for its exclusive, loyal consumers. Well balanced in pricing, specs and camera action on secure hardware, while sticking to what makes it popular and one of kind in and innovative in first place, a full keyboard on a mobile phone. Might as well stick to its own lane at this point to give ppl options, instead be like everyone else for sure cant compete, other companies been at it and only gets better so just get better in own lane i think. Its just a solid ass phone more than capable, end of day not buying a gaming console or media system nor need to break the bank for it either. They really getting right and more on point. Was curious bout other brands like but I'm such a loyal fuk esp when BB been trying to and have gotten it right with tis KeyONe.
Good review. Like my Keyone. Still learning features.
I owned a curve, torch and the blackberry tablet. Just upgraded to the black keyone 64gb. Loving the phone
I loved bb10, but had to finally conform and went with the priv. I'm interested in the KEYone, but I hope they come with a priv 2.. love the screen clarity, and the size of the priv. . thanks for the video.
Enjoyed your video. I've been using a BlackBerry since 2007. When I picked a platform for a smart phone, I wanted one that would be most like a handheld computer, and BlackBerry is it. The BlackBerry OS does everything I need and does it well. Add to that the removable batteries in the past and removable memory card and I've been hooked. I am not a fan of Android so I don't know if I'll try this out. Apps are great but every Android app I've tried on my BlackBerry OS phone wants unreasonable permissions and if I try to limit it, the app won't install. That's a good indication that I don't want that app. I would encourage you to research the benefits of the Hub and try it again. See how other people are using it. It is a huge plus for the BlackBerry OS. I'm assuming it will function the same with the Android OS.
yes finally, cant wait to buy me one
I'm not sure I could live with a physical keyboard now, but used to love them back in the day.
+Snowmation Same haha, all I wanted was a phone with a QWERTY.
I was a huge Blackberry fan! I wish this had been the Storm! I started with the Curve; had a couple of those. The Storm was a nightmare, but the Tour, I think was a superb phone with an incredible keyboard. I'd use a tour with a current processor and camera. Shame how it turned out for them but the phone up top is okay. I forget who own their name and IP but they probably should have sold earlier.
Former black berry pearl owner that thing was a tank loved it
Great review Justin. I really like the style of your review. You hit on everything that a non-tech would need in terms of practical use information. I have been a cell phone owner since 1989. I have a BB Classic and will likely upgrade in several years. I hit the subscribe button and hope you do vehicle and other reviews.
Hi Justin, great vid, I've just subscribed. I bought this phone on the day of release here in the U.K. (5th May) and I love it, absolutely great. I've been using BB phones since 2008.
Just a note on stabilisation, 4K doesn't have it but 1080/30p and lower does, and it's pretty good. Cheers.
I had the blackberry classic and I loved it!!!
Great video Justin. I just purchased the Keyone and your video definitely helped with my purchase decision. Subscribed.
Still use Blackberry(classic), went android (note 4) but always came back to the Blackberry. i just get more done and have had zero problems.
I do wish they kept the concept name Mercury instead of KEYone
good review. myself I've preferred the Nokia E Series over blackberry because I preferred the keyboards that Nokia made. Seems like a good phone
If I buy this phone in the near future, it's all because of you!
Subscribed after watching this video.
Ruturaj Prabhune and Marlo the same same time as as a an issue
@Lilian Binns I didn't get you.
HIGHLY recommend speaker stands or desktop speaker stands for those audioengines in the back man they would sound SO much better!!! I have the P4's and was doing the same trust me!
I'm bb loyalist. Till now. I have the q10. Hope to buy this one someday.
I love blackberry
I've never owned any other smartphone brands besides BlackBerry, the Passport Silver Edition and Classic are my go to phones but the KEYone is interesting.
Best Keyone Review I have ever seen!! Nice job.
had mine a week now. it's a fantastic device. if your thinking about it, then go it. it's great. love the review
+William Boyce Thank you!
William Boyce how is if you stream music?
physical Keyboard again Looks nice. Not for everyone but i love it
The Rear camera on this phone, rivals the one on the S8. And yes, I compared them.. The only difference is that the s8 pictures are much more saturated.
Nice review Justin. I've had most BlackBerry models since 2002 and the Q10 is still my current device. Seems like this is a Q10 keypad with a Z10 stuck on top which is a good design idea....for me at least. Have tried the DTEK50 and like the Blackdroid experience. Will be buying a KEYone.
+Dave Keegan Thanks!
have a BB classic. Love my phone 3 years and still runs well. Only thing I disliked was the camera. They improved it for the Keyone. I may get one. When you are using the hub, you will really like it.
For business - I get 150 notifications or more a day. The HUB is the answer - and my reason I will get another blackberyy
+Manvir Singh Yup, gotta love HUB
I don't follow tech reviewers, but this video was really awesome. Great videography, sound quality, and info in the product. Worth the sub and like.
Appreciate it :)
I had the Passeport and Priv. I miss them because of their uniqueness in experience despite some cons compared to other phones
love this video been waiting for a new one the blackberry not a bad design but it looks like for business people
+Danaria Scott Yea!
I can use mine for 2 days, and still have 15% battery left.
Really?
It all started with the Pearl 8130.
Back in the day? I still use a Blackberry today!
got mine 2 weeks ago, love it!
Best phone I've had in my life and had many. It's just a joy to use and a fantastic tool compared to toys that are called flagship phones.
Blackberry keeps doing different phones and for me it's a +
I wonder if the experience with a physical keyboard is better than typing on a touchscreen. would like to see an iphone with a physical keyboard because typing on the screen is sometimes a pain in the ass (I know, it will not happen).
Always loved the Bold 3G
This is the Earliest I have reached to ur video!👀🔥
Been a blackberry user since the beginning. I've have 4 versions so far. Verizon won't offer this key one. I so upset over that. I now have to consider going to att.
i have the blackberry classic right now. upgrading to the key one soon though !
My favorite Blackberry phones are the Curve 8330 and the Torch 9800...and I just ordered this one 2day!!!
This phone looks niceand I heard the battery life is GREAT!!!! And the Camera? I was surprised. Was also great. Forget the other BlackBerry Phones. They should just focus on this one. I caught my eye straight out of the box.
Excellent short and concise review. Thank you!
+C Jay Thanks for watching!
yes, i love my headphone jack at the top too which is quite rare these days...but then again, headphone jacks may not be anywhere anymore soon...
How is the email search function? I have a Z30 and I love that you can search various fields to broaden or refine a search with accurate filters
BlackBerry 8330 I loved that phone!
I've used blackberry curve 8520, curve 9300 and z10 in the past.. i am a blackberry fan.. and would love to have this one as my phone
I remember when I pre-ordered silver keyone but it had a faulty microphone so sent it back to get a replacement unit, rocked silver for months then came the black dual Sim, really loved the black variant and then got the bronze. Then came the key2, used both silver and black finally before moving to iPhone 11. Waiting for the new 5G PKB blackberry to debut in first half of 2021,, definitely gonna move to blackberry n Android again though iOS is way more flexible and smooth than Android but just for blackberry.
With the Priv they wanted to provide options with the keyboard and full screen. I have the Classic. I find I'm not big on the Hub because I prefer separate buckets for things.
Very well done review!....BB Disappointed me when they started using Android OS... But, this phone might make me reconsider.
If they keep this up I might get the new one next year (if there will be a newer version) when my current contract is up.
Owned a legacy BB five years ago... My gripe was its short battery life.
Thank you for your amazing review.
Absolutely spot on (y)
Still rocking it as My Business Phone
dollar sign key is also a loudspeaker shortcut key. has always been on their qwerty's
Loved mu Blackberries of my past. this looks amazing.
Klipsch r6 for the win bro. Great review and cinematography.
+Servant Rapper Thanks!
What I want to know dose the priv have up to date apps available on the Google play store or are they all older apps not up to date ?
Man I really wish it looked just a little more like the blackberry classic and had physical buttons for multitask/back/home and also for send/end calls. The classic would have been perfect if it only ran android.
I've owned and used various brands of phones...from all major brands like the formerly great Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Samsung, Xperia, iPhone, Blackberry, LG,...but IMO nothing beat Blackberry... I've used a blackberry from the model that I cant remember the name (it was 8310 if i'm not mistaken, that still used a trackball and here we call those trackballs as "nipples"), to Onix 2, Onix 3, Torch, Dakota, Q10, Classic...Onix 2 is the champ for me because I could bear with it for 2 years, the longest spell for me with a phone, while other phones (including from other brands) only last about 2 months in average before boredom hit me...hopefully this KeyOne (I ordered mine yesterday, expecting to arrive in 2 or 3 days) will outlast the Onix 2
