Over the past three or four years, BlackBerry has tried multiple different strategies in the wild hope that something will work. We've seen candybars and sliders; touchscreens and keyboards; budget and ultra-premium; traditional and experimental; BlackBerry OS and Android. Every time the company seemed to be moving in one direction, it would reverse course. You can read about each of these missteps in great detail in our analysis of the BlackBerry Z3 (Review), Passport (Review), Classic (Review), Leap (Review), Priv (Review), and DTEK50 (Review). In tracing that journey, you can see how the company tried desperately to attract new users, then settled for clinging to its dwindling fanbase and then finally gave up all hope.
BlackBerry KEYone Summary
The BlackBerry KEYone is a unique device and it is expensive if you consider its specifications and capabilities. However for those who have never been able to let go of a physical keyboard, the value proposition is obvious. The keyboard isn't quite up to the standard of old BlackBerrys, but it gets the job done and supports all the familiar shortcuts. The camera is just okay, and battery life is good. BlackBerry's apps are quite useful in terms of productivity. Buy this phone only if you really need a physical keyboard.

Android with BlackBerry, it's bestSubrata Chakraborty (Apr 14, 2017) on Gadgets 360 RecommendsIf you like android then this phone is an Android phone. If you are a fan of BlackBerry then the most famous option of BlackBerry is security and it is also with the phone. Good battery, good hardware, good display, good software, very sexy look, phone of work, actual phone among phones. But if you are fan of BlackBerry and not a fan of Android the go for BlackBerry OS. BlackBerry PASSPORT is best for you. Keyone is the slimmer version of PASSPORT. If Keyone vs. PASSPORT then I will go for PASSPORT. Both are solid. Very solid. Not a playing device, it's a phone.Is this review helpful?
