I love my Key2, and use it as my daily driver. The keyboard is fantastic, the fingerprint sensor works flawlessly, my keyboard shortcuts save me mountains of time, and the camera, while not fantastic, is more than adequate. I cannot imagine not having my fantastic keyboard. I will keep my Key 2 until a keyboard-equipped 5G handset comes along. Please - somebody - bring one of those to market!. Meanwhile, my faithful companion will not leave my side.

4 yrs with my blackBerry and it's in very good condition haven't replaced anything on it and the battery still good on it, I always get Compliments till this about how UNIQUE it is and that it still looks brand new

My Key2 is my principal phone (especially for typing) but I "supplement" with my Pixel6. I really hope some company will find an interest in bringing up a keyboard phone

[terenceramroop]

didn't think I would see anymore BlackBerry videos since OM pulled out. thanks for the video. typing this on my BlackBerry key2le. I really miss the ability to drop a phone and not watch it break.

as much as I love the physical keyboard, I'd rather have BB10 OS. the virtual keyboard on my Z30 was way better than my Pixel with Gboard... if only BB10 could have gotten app support...

I wasn't expecting anymore BlackBerry videos, so this was a sort of pleasant surprise. My sexy KEY2 Red is still my daily driver and so far no network trouble with Vodafone in Europe.

Hope Mr Chen is listening to you.
He had said when Onward Mobility ceased to exist, he still hoped that there will be another Blackberry phone.
He also said he keeps s Blackberry with him, along with a Samsung.

Continue to miss my BlackBerry KEY2 every day. Still frustrated by how poorly BlackBerry handled everything beginning with the end of their TCL deal. They have yet to recover.

Re-watching this video on my Key2, which is still my daily driver. I don't care about the camera, watching TV or movies, and playing games. Except for a few apps--e.g. my bank, that I can still use on the website--which are no longer supported, this phone still performs all the functions I require. My battery, ±68%, will need replacing soon, or I'll need to buy another of the severely depleted supply of Key2s available. MT again Adam for not forgetting about the BlackBerry loyalists! 🙏

For your UK viewers, my KEY2 works fine over here with the Vodafone network. As far as I know, it will also work with other major UK networks, like BT and Virgin. But sadly no 5G of course. I still preferred my old Blackberry Passport, because it was so good for reading books with the Kindle App. Unfortunately, work and general wear & tear did for my Passport in the end. I used it for years and I loved that phone like an old friend !! Thanks for the great videos.

We still holding 'HOPE' for a new BlackBerry

My BlackBerry Key 2 performs exquisitely... the Battery is superb...the camera is fine...staying the course

I've recently switched from my Key2 Red to an iPhone (something I never thought I'd do). I'm a month in and still frustrated by the usability of the iPhone compared with the Key2. Not just the typing (which I'm struggling with) but the overall productivity such as missing the hub and custom led notifications. I never fully appreciated how good my Key2 was at productivity and ease of use until I stopped using it (due to the battery not lasting a half day anymore and the odd random restart or freeze). My favourite form factor was my old Priv which offered the best of both worlds but really liked the Key2 too and didn't feel like the screen was too much of a compromise. It also feels far nicer in my hand than my iPhone.

I bought the Pixel 6 and used it for about 4 months. Just made too many mistakes while typing on the glass as most of what I do on it is email and text. I switched back to my Key2, sure it is not as crisp, cool and dynamic as my Pixel 6 but I have much less frustration typing. I will probably switch back and forth over time but I just love and need the PKB.

I'm still using a Key2LE in the UK. It's running a little slow now, and I had to get the battery replaced recently.
The only reason I keep it is the keyboard. I hate typing on touchscreens. I can type fast and accurately on the Key2LE with no autocorrect and almost no mistakes.

I just wish there was a modern Android phone with a keyboard as good so I could upgrade.

[OsamaThizzladin]

Your latter point is why I love the priv. The slide function was clutch

[makenzi]

I bought my Q10 in 2014 and still works perfectly. I was very disappointed that we will never get a new BlackBerry phone. I am still thinking of what phone I should get next. I am still very attached to the BB10 OS.

[Exedorable]

Watching this on my old Priv 😎 which I missed and took out for a day or two (a month and a half ago 😊 lol) that's now become my daily driver again. The simplicity of 6.1 marshmallow is kind of refreshing tbh, and despite some of its issues (reboots on its own at night, can't rely on the battery %) still a joy to use and to hold, made even more #amaze by the fact this 6.5 year old device still functions.

My space bar on my Key2 was sticking so I removed my folding case and eventually it stopped sticking… It’s my daily driver for my personal and self employed use (Realtor)… Last realtor in my city that uses one still.

[yorickberger]

I'm still using my Key2, it's scratched everywhere from multiple falls after a 4 years of intensive usage. I have replaced the battery and the display once, the keyboard makes some random issue with the space bar after it felt into the water few months ago... :) but it still run strong, in multi tasking, navigation, or split screen YouTube /twitter or Whatsapp etc ! Fingerprint works flawless, no lag, it's still a great mobile :)
