I'm still using my key2LE. MOST apps still work but I'm noticing that some are becoming incompatible. They tell you that you have to update, then the play store won't let you update. The phone is so well built that it's out living all its software. Its frustrating how we are forced to keep upgrading phones when new ones really aren't better or even offer what older ones do.

I'm using a Key One and it's still working beautifully. I don't use it for gaming or watching films - just for making calls and receiving emails and sending texts.

Still loving & using my Key2 on a daily basis. Everything is working fine, and I treat it like the treasure that it is! All my apps are still getting updates, and while not as good as it was originally, my battery is fine. Thanks for recognizing the brilliance of these phones Adam!

Thank you so much for this video, your Blackberry content and possible replacements for it, is why I subscribed. Today you made me realized I can still use one, and that I need to get a Key2.

Love you still cover these. Wish WiFi calling still worked and I wouldn't of gotten rid of it. Still dreaming of a Blackberry Classic on Android. Not the horrible builds of unihurtz, but a sleek, business looking keyboard phone. One can dream.

I'm using a KeyOne and it is working mostly great. However 32GB fills up quickly. So happy to see that you covered this phone as I picked up a red edition Key2 about 2 months ago. I wanted the last grest BB, in my collection and hope the brand resurrects. I do use Samsung for work for several years and still can't wait to put the glass slab down at the end of the day for the BlackBerry experience.

I wish they would do another phone just like this and just up the CPU and RAM. its been my daily since it came out and i've been through a couple of them. So so good and fast for typing with, those that are all touch screens will never understand. I really hope they can come up with something to keep this going be it either outsourcing or crowdfunding related (for reference, i did try the unihertz but it just wasnt the same and the camera on the unihertz was awfull for snapchat + similar apps)

My first smartphone was a Blackberry 7100C 😂, the 8800 and original Bold have and will always have a special place in my heart. 😊

I loved my blackberry days. What a phone it was. 👍👍

I continue to use the Key2 as my everyday carry. It still does everything I require, and of course the physical keyboard can't be beat. My battery will need to be replaced soon, but it will be better than switching to a Unihertz Slim, on which I took a hard pass. Thanks for doing this video for those of us who can't move on! 😉

I'm using the Titan Pocket and that is scratching the itch right now, but man, seeing this, I really do miss BBs. I had the Q5, Q10, Classic, Passport, and the KeyOne BE. I particularly enjoyed the BB10 phones, but liked their Android offerings too. Kinda tempted to get a Key2 or Key2LE now. Canada won't shut down 4G or even 3G for a time yet. Love your love letters to BB. Keep up this great content!

Just got a BNIB 64gb red edition. Everything works so far. Life is pretty great.

Thanks for heads up on the lifeline! Gonna keep mine as long as possible. Need keyboard in my life!

I'm still using my BB classic in 2023 as a daily driver in the US. Pros: I get to use my bb every day, I'm more focused, and I don't overuse my data. Cons: I can't use GPS can't receive photos or emoji's or use my music app. Also not all Bluetooth headsets work, like my galaxy buds live. But I still have a headphone jack

I'm using the Unihertz Titan and it's no where near the luxurious/ premium class of the Blackberry Key2. Hoping Unihertz improve the finish to the standard of the Key2 on their next build. Thanks Adam for doing this vid ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The phone itself doesn't look cheap or outdated. They definitely knew how to build phones but kinda gave up on development. What made BB stand out from its competition back in the day was the keyboard and productivity, but they just weren't keeping up with consumer demand years later.

I am watching this video on my Key 2. Legendary! Glad this guy made this video. Check out prices for this phone on the web. Refurbished models starting at 399.00. Brand new in a box models as high as 2000 dollars! Wild. Best phone ever. My favorite thing is when I am in a restaurant and I ask the server to take a picture for us. I hand them the phone, and they look at it in wonder and then pause then ask "what kind of phone is this?" :-)

Believe it or not, I still use a BlackBerry Priv as my daily driver. It is one of the two BlackBerry phones that still work on Att service.

Still on my Key 2 bought the day it was made available. Still running like a champ. Let's hope it runs until a new Blackberry type phone comes out.

Still using my Blackberry Key2, some Apps not getting updates or not working. Battery still gets a few days on a full charge because I always run my phone down to zero percent before charging. Space bar stopped working a few years ago, so I installed a virtual keyboard. Now when I type in still use the physical keyboard but have to move up to use virtual space bar. So use to typing that way now I would not even consider repairing physical keyboard LOL. LOVE THE BLACKBERRY EXPERIENCE

I'd love one of those.

Typing this on my Key2. Everything works fine on it right now. No issues. I use an app called Greenify to just close off apps running in the background to free up some RAM once a day to keep things running snappy.

I just wanted to say I love your channel, love the content. I still use the BlackBerry key2 as my phone for pleasure and business.

My new, old Samsung died this morning, and all I had was my old BB key 2. She's still kicking just fine!

I can still make my Keyone work today too. I don't use it as a primary but I could make it work if I needed it too.

I still has the curve model which is older than 10 years but still works I use it to listen to music which I copied. The build quality is awesome. Today's phones cant beat that. Sadly they stopped.

Since im living analog, it still feels beautiful

Was contemplating to get the unihertz or the key2 and glad I got the key2 in a Mint condition. Definitely recommend !

My Key2 is my daily phone. The battery continues to amaze me, five years now and it still has at least 75% health. To reduce hacking and security risks I have no financial/banking apps or NFC-enabled payment apps, no social media. My space bar issue comes and goes.

Still using mine. Very functional

I'd love to see something, anything, from BlackBerry in the future.

I've still got mine. I only use it at home for fun and on long road trips as my music device. I also use it for emails. Edit: Got excited and commented early. Meant to add....Great video keep it up!

I remember my 1st BB, a red pearl 9105. So beautiful and perfect fit. To the good old days 🥃🖖🏻

This phone is older than some children. I remember when the phone came out...wow

Great video as always! FYI 4 G is staying in Canada until 2030 so no worries on using this phone for many years.

Still using the key2 as my daily driver, best phone they ever made.

I just had my Key2's screen replaced yesterday (it was cracked and getting worse), and I have a new folding case on order for it to replace the decrepit one I've been using for the past few years. Still hoping for a decent new phone with a keyboard as an eventual replacement but for now I am still happy with it. I've had the space bar issue pop up a couple of times; it seems to be an intermittent thing, so I am hoping it won't get worse...

Wish there was a 5g version😭

Yep still using LE as my primary US phone while abroad. Have a mint K1 as a back up. Some apps are non existent but otherwise is fine

I still use a Priv, bought it in 2016, I've replaced the battery once.

My Red Key2 was a great phone. What BB should've rolled out years ago. Wish they still made them.

I ❤ Key 2. The battery was driving me mutz though. And all I heard was mixed advice on whether to replace the battery or not because their was no consensus on whether or not that solved the problem. Speaking of security though. Norton is always offering it's service for phones I have the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. Should I install the Norton app?

Still use mine as a daily along side my s22 Ultra. It's starting to show it's age, slowly.. and had gone through a new battery last summer. I have maybe 1.5yrs left on it, maybe 2 if I can get another battery swap. But, I'm doomed afterwards it seems like. I HATE touchscreen keyboards... I struggle on the s22u every time I have to text.

Use mine every day. Still love it. My only beef is it, of course, doesn’t hold a charge like it used to. And the space bar is pooched so I use use the soft space bar. I run Norton 360 on it.

Adam I've just updated my apps on my note 20 and BlackBerry have updated the hub, contacts ,notes and tasks amazing I'm in the uk

Just dropped $100 on a charger repair for my Key 2. One morning after rebooting it never came back on....getting a new phone never even came into mind. Now it has dawned upon me that I need a suitable backup phone if I want to extend my Key 2 for a few more years. The only phone I see that comes close to being a backup is the Unihertz Titan Slim with the Blackberry launcher and Hub installed. Now going to have to drop several more hundred for that! I just love the Blackberry experience that much☺ Nothing else out there to replace it.

This gives me hope - the silver edition of the key2 is sooo pretty. But the 400$ price tag on eBay has me second-guessing buying one.

I've had a lot of blackberry phones, but it seems that the last models that keep up with technology are key 2/le. The rest are just well built and look spectacular (classic key one priv passport), I've given up on all of them now, now I use key 2LE in 2024

I'm using the KeyOne Black Edition, it's still fully usable in 2023 and I use social media apps on it, what isn't useable as much is BlackBerry Hub as that integration with Gmail died a few months ago and I only noticed when I changed my email password and couldn't get it back into my blackberry hub. I was using the Classic until February when things started going wrong, the keyboard wouldn't work replying to texts but was fine with emails and notes then the network connectivity dropped and never came back so I replaced it with an iPhone 7 because it was cheaper than replacing it with a Priv and I wanted a similar sized phone for when I'm outside, I do have a tendency to drop things and I do not want to have to replace the KeyOne there is very little in Europe with QWERTY keyboard and buying from the UK will make it very expensive with import fees.

I am using it, and it works perfect.

I really hope one of these basic phone companies make a QWERTY phone already. HMD Global (Nokia) had a rumor but that was in like 2020.

Still love the BlackBerry KEY2 even though it's been several years.

I can still use my Z30 here in Canada 😁👍🏻

a good video. i use the key2, i like the keyboard and most of the apps works in 2023

I still use it since 2018. Now, I have to buy a new phone because this BB is literally dying but cannot find anything on the market that I would be interested in. Can't imagine myself without a keyborad (I use BBs since 2006).

I just rebuilt my key2 le. Running like brand new and the outter shell is mint. :) my screen busted in 2021 and I let it sit.. I found an entirely brand new casing with wiring, screen and internal components minus motherboard. It cost me 100 bucks.... Versus the msrp of the titan slim... i cant do it... the cost and the look is hideous.. Eventually, i will have to upgrade, but that day is not TODAY. :)

Thanks for this video.

I remember having a Priv. I vividly remember watching a Dhar Mann premiere on it. It was able to run KZfaq and all the other apps I downloaded from Google Play pretty well. The only issue I had was that it would reboot at random times.

I use it mainly, sometimes i switch to iphone 12 mini. but mainly bbk2!! I ordered a new battery from aliexpress to replace myself (or by some technician w/o BlackBerry knowledge)

My girlfriend has the Key2 and I have a Motion as our daily drivers. Yes it’s frustrating that some apps are now becoming defunct and can’t be updated, but hey, we just drop those apps and carry on.

amo seus videos de blackberry, sou inscrito no seu canal, por causa disso, um abraço aqui do brasil, de um grande fã da marca, espero um dia poder comprar um blackberry motion ou dtek 60, pois aqui no brasil não tem mais e os poucos que tem, estão em valores superfaturados verdadeiro absurdo, mas meu amor pela marca sempre permanecerá.

My last key 2 space bar was hit and miss , used to take a few pushes sometimes to get where you wanted

Yes you can...typing with it now and doesnt feel like im missing anything tbh

Aside from the battery showing it's age, my Keyone Black Edition looks & works just fine. The keys even feel like new, and it doesn't lag like my Classic does. The person I bought it from recently must have taken good care of it.

ALSO... Yeah, I feel you. I miss my old Torch 9810.... Just wished Onward Mobility actually did something... It 'COULD' have been great if BB gave the contract to Unihertz, THEN, maybe they could have changed the physical keyboard to the proper BB layout, multiple years OS support and stuff like that... I've also contacted another great physical keyboard phone manufacturer of old - Nokia, to try and persuade them into making a physical QWERTY keyboard phone like the old E63/E71 (they were great phones) as, my complaint with HMD/Nokia is that they're releasing these 'Classics' like 3310, 8110, 8210, 2720 flip, 8000 4G, 6310 etc etc, but, some of them run KaiOS (and so can run WhatsApp/Signal etc), but, WHO THE F, is gonna want to type texts/ instant messages/emails out on an ancient T9 alpha/Numeric keypad system?? ESPECIALLY, when STILL TO THIS DAY, one of the TOP THREE uses for phone is texting/messaging/emailing??? Planet Computers with their 'Astro Slide 5G' is another potentially useful phone (though eerily similar to the old (but also at the time great) Nokia E7... In my view, and from what I've researched, physical QWERTY keyboard phones CAN STILL have a place in the phone industry.... I mean Christ... I'd LOVE to buy a modern updated Torch 9810!!! or even a Passport! 😎🇬🇧

I use LE as my daily driver and an S10 for social media and vídeos, etc.

I'm still using my Key2 that I purchased brand new in 2020, but 4 months ago I dropped it in water. It was submerged for about 2 seconds and after doing a few crazy things- sort of like HAL 9000 while Dave was shutting him down- it reset on its own and has been mostly working ever since. However, the space bar is dead (but fingerprint sensor still works) and the volume rocker button has its moments. I can type with the physical keyboard by using the sym button to prompt the space bar on the screen, but it's not the same so I'm hoping to get it repaired soon with a new space bar or keyboard.

I miss Blackberry. Many can talk crap about them, but if not for Blackberry, we would not have the Apple iPhones, the Samsung Galaxy S, Google Pixels, One Plus, and many others. Blackberry paved the way. And sadly, when they stopped making phones, security was gone, and the keyboard gone too. Since the keyboard was gone, I have had more typos since upgrading from my 9300 Curve many years ago. But at least the company is still around focusing on software security development in the automotive industry.

Thank you so much for the great content! I really want to fire my Blackberry Classic up and use it for calls, text and emails. My Blackberry is unlocked, so is there a carrier that will work with the Blackberry Classic in 2023?

Even 2G is active in Europe, there is still at least 10-15 years life left for 4G. I use my NOKIA 3310 daily for calls :)

Thank you very much for this video ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Can it still use what's app and Uber or not ???? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Blackberry ,my favorite 💟

I just fired up my KeyOne today incidently to do a SIM card check for mobile hotspot. The hotspot on my Titan Slim stopped working. Still working with Unihertz tech support to figure out what's wrong 😕 I can't believe how much bigger the KeyOne feels after being on the Slim.

the classic and the q10 makes for a good gameboy

Yes , i can , still using now

I still want a 2023 version😢

I've been Blackberry free for 2 years, tried 5 different phones and nothing else compares. I'm having extreme withdrawals. It's time to revisit the Key 2.

Mine died last year so I replaced it with a KeyOne cuz I could find a Key2. I refuse to give up my keyboard.

The goat of phones.

I'm currently using the Key2 as my secondary phone. Mine is the Indian version and consequently I've not got any security updates since 2018. I use it for mails, data and for calling (when I don't have network coverage in my primary phone) The main reason why I switched to a newer phone is because of security. I wouldn't risk banking on a phone that hasn't had an update in years. The bummer is after I purchased the phone, I just got one month of security update. I was pissed that in spite of spending a handsome amount on outdated hardware, I did not get support from BlackBerry. Although I'm a crackberry head, I'm glad they are dead in consumer phone market because with this kind of support, they have no business in this market

What do you think is the best phone service between verizon,at&t, and t-mobile?

Any idea which version(s) of the handset are working on TMobile in the US?

Not going to lie... I do miss that damn keyboard...

I just don't use it because I can't find this device to buy in Brazil. Great device! Keyone, unfortunately, has little memory and is no longer assisting me.

Still using my Key2 since 2021. Only regret is the old camera. I just need a good external keyboard and it really is the only thing still

yes, you can, I am still using it

The first and last blackberry I had was the 8520

I'm on it right now!! 😂

I haven't used BB for decades now, but my question is... couldn't you install a custom ROM to get it up to date? Then install the BB software? Like I said I haven't been in the BB world in decades. I loved mine (8830?) back in the day. I used to type books on those keyboards! I even remember the one time I had a ball replacement 😂😂😂😂😂😂 all I could do was answer and end calls

Really hope Unihertz makes a 5G keyboard offering, though.

The amount of hardware that ends up in landfills just because software companies arbitarily decide to discontinue updates is disgusting.

@TechOdyssey Because of this video and all of your great videos I decided to get my Key2 screen fixed and fire it back up as daily driver!!! Two questions for you. -Do you think it's safe to use banking and credit card apps on Key2? -Google won't let me put my password into Blackberry hub email, so I can't get it to work/update. Did you run into this if so do you know of a fix? Thanks in advance and keep up the great work!

I’d probably get a key2 if I was more confident in getting one with a good enough battery or replacing its battery lol

Trick apple! My blackberry key1 was the best phone I ever owned. I truly wish they never stopped making cell phones. 😢😢

Gave up on it November 2021 when the camera (annoying but no big deal) and then a couple weeks later keyboard (big deal obviously) tapped out. Bought a Pixel 6 thinking I'd only need it for a few months until the Onward Mobility phone would come out then I'd be back in business. Yeah that never happened. 😶‍🌫️ Still on the Pixel 6.

I am still using my BlackBerry Key2 and this is my second one. I refuse to use regular android or IPhone. I love this phone. We have a couple years left. All my software works. But once 46 is out the window, so is this phone. Use it while it lasts its worth it.

I will choose BB Key 3 over iPhones if they release the new BlackBerry models.

I’m using BB Key 2 LE on T-Mobile

I remember my BB days. I started with the 950 AOL Mobile Communicator that had AOL Instant Messenger on it lol I moved on to the 7730, 7100t, 7105t, Pearl 8100, Pearl 8120, and finally the Bold 9780. My favorites were the 7100 series and the 8100 series because they were compact but still easy as heck to type on thanks to SureType. The software, games and themes on the devices were fun to play around with and kept me organized with college and medical appointments.

Would you happen to know what model works with Verizon still?
