I am a die-hard proper keyboard fan, and I've been waiting for the KeyONE since it was first announced as the Mercury.
All my phones have had keyboards, the last two being the Droid4 and the Blackberry Q5.
I've never been a touchscreen keyboard fan, my fingers are too fat and my nails too long - at speed, the only thing I ever type on them is total gibberish.
I don't care if the KeyONE is underspecced or if the 'media' people don't like it. As long as it runs a mainstream operating system, and the keyboard is at least on par with previous blackberry keyboards - I'll be happy.
However, at $499 the sim-free price is a bit on the high side :(

KeyONE sounds tacky, not like a corporate executive's phone. Curious why they changed it. It should be well known as the keyboard device without having to mention 'key' in the name.
- Jaruzel 10y agoYeah Mercury (and then Rome) were good names for it. KeyONE just... sucks. :(
- zoom6628 10y agoI have always wanted for Blackberry to put android into the 9700. That would/could be a spectacular success - probably more so than the Q5/Q10. But its only my speculation as I dont have the $ to fund such a venture.
