BlackBerry KEYone: For the CrackBerry faithful

BlackBerry is back. The keyboard is back. Even CrackBerry Kevin is back!

BlackBerry is now exclusive a software company but TCL — the same company that makes Alcatel — is releasing all-new hardware under the BlackBerry Mobile brand. That might sound complicated but the result is simple: BlackBerry KEYOne.

And yes, our very own CrackBerry Kevin was live at MWC in Barcelona to MC it.

I’m sure Kevin has 150,000 review with 47 videos and 19,000 photos on the way but, in the meantime, here’s what Canada’s own Daniel Bader had to say on Android Central:

I’m happy to report that it’s actually quite nice. The aluminum frame is solid and the design is anything but pedestrian, with overtly curved sides meeting a flat-top frame and exposed antenna lines. There’s an old-school industrial feel to the whole thing that I really dig — the dual tones of black and silver work really well here, harkening back to some BlackBerrys of the past while updating the look for 2017….

BlackBerry is again. The keyboard is again. Even CrackBerry Kevin is again!

BlackBerry is now unique a device corporate however TCL — the similar corporate that makes Alcatel — is freeing all-new hardware beneath the BlackBerry Cellular logo. That would possibly sound difficult however the result's easy: BlackBerry KEYOne.

And sure, our very personal CrackBerry Kevin used to be are living at MWC in Barcelona to MC it.

I am positive Kevin has 150,000 evaluation with 47 movies and 19,000 pictures on the method however, in the intervening time, here is what Canada's personal Daniel Bader needed to say on Android Central:

I am satisfied to record that it is if truth be told somewhat great. The aluminum body is forged and the design is anything else however pedestrian, with openly curved facets assembly a flat-top body and uncovered antenna strains. There is an old-school commercial really feel to the entire factor that I in point of fact dig — the twin tones of black and silver paintings actually smartly right here, harkening again to a few BlackBerrys of the previous whilst updating the search for 2017.

There will be a large number of 'dad jokes' harmed in the making of KEYone evaluations — despite the fact that there is not any indication BlackBerry Cellular can be together with a 45-degree leather-based hip holster in the field.

I don't believe someone with eyes already set on an iPhone 8 — or no matter Apple calls this yr's iPhone — can be swayed via KEYone. However I do assume the CrackBerry faithful will need to give it a check out. And like several vintage comeback, that is the place they will want to get started.

Take a look at the hands-on and let me know your ideas!
