BlackBerry Key2 LE review 12/30/19 By FSBS CARDINAL NATION

Welcome to the FSB s show I'm Bristol, and I'm Ricardo anyway. Today we are going to review our BlackBerry fichu LE phones. We got these Christmasy day and we have. We did an unboxing video, and this is a very brief and short review video. There aren't many videos being produced right now for blackberry phones, just because they haven't been really continuing, producing phones right now, they're on their longest dry, spell at about 15 months since the release of these, which was their last handset. Yes, so we just wanted to talk a little about these key to Kelly's.

I've been a blackberry user. Personally, since about 2010 and I started with the blackberry 8350 I, which was the eye, then channel version of the little blackberry believe it was the curve, and it had the trackball in it and had the push-to-talk. Also, I ended up trading that phone in for a little galaxy phone, which was horrible. It was through Boost Mobile at the time, actually that phone that I had blackberry, they called the Crack Berry I, don't know if anybody remembers that anyway, yeah I'd say it's a very well-rounded phone. It's very snappy when it comes to the Internet.

Furthermore, it comes with Firefox focus for private browsing I wish. Basically, when you back out of the Firefox focus app, it automatically clears the cache of any history browsing or anything, and also the on the keyboard. The space bar comes with a fingerprint scanner. That is absolutely perfect. It does.

It works all for us every single time and I actually had a BlackBerry motion. I still have it and I use it for more like using for GPS with maps. You know- or you know, just viewing media content, sometimes if I want to, but my daily driver is this blackberry key to Ellie. We both got the champagne colors, but we put some cases on them and I got the blue case, which are cases which we really like. Oh yeah, it comes off.

We got our cases from qua mobile, and they are just the CPU cases. I've got asked hop sack in online yeah. It comes with the usual nice backing for a blackberry phone. These are the quality rubber, smooth soft. That smooth like slick like sweet Lars.

Pretty we have a lot of things like I. Have a lot of memory, for example, and I have a screw protector of a case. I have this little cloth, but none of this comes with the actual phone. So we bought a 128 gigabyte memory card from my motion, and so when I moved over to this phone I already had that, but we got him 128 gigabytes on that phone as well. However, this being the champagne colored one, there were three colors: they released these phones in which was the champagne.

Then you had the slate and Comic red, and so the atomic red and the champagne baccarat right after we first released. These were a $50 upsell, in addition to going from 32 gigabytes memory to 64 gigabytes, internal storage, and so that was also a $50 up charge. So basically, you could have ended up spending for one of these he to Ellie's with the 250 dollar premium charges up to $500 for these, and the slate would have been coming in to 399 because it was not. It wasn't a $50 charge for that color and also just came in 32 gigabytes. It was really released, sorry about that, but then eventually need to go to the 64 gigabyte model, which we both have.

We pick these up for a screaming deal at 260, 260 999, a piece at Best Buy, since we purchased these, and I actually put the order in on the 17th of December 2019. By the time we actually received them about. Four days later, the price at party been pumped up by Best Buy from 260 9.99, and that was buying it, where he doesn't activate through one of the carriers there, so it would have been 2:19. Had you activated the phone with Best Buy, it was 260 90 by an unlocked version to work with any GSM carrier, and so now they're $2.99 at Best Buy. So they went up 30 bucks already, so I'm guessing they were priced at a pretty decent point where they might have been moving and maybe best fighters.

Otherwise, the only other place you can get them are two places actually is Amazon, and what was that? One go talk was a go. Talk yeah go talk, but they're selling them like you can buy the champagne model on Amazon 64 gigabytes, for what did I say. I saw 500 and 600 bucks so like that, for this model right here that we just purchased to $69.99. For so August is a blackberry fan somewhat by me, being a blackberry fan for so many years, but he actually used a blackberry prior to owning this piece. Well, they have used to blackberries prior to this, that I own myself, well I, bequeath to him.

I gave to it, yes, which would be the blackberry classic, which I absolutely love when the holds operating blackberry crib, which is the first phone to go to Android, mid, correct, yes, yeah, and it was the last handset blackberry did in house. Yes, and then they went to a company called teens TCL potatoes, the keyboard. The keyboard is amazing, in my opinion, absolutely I, don't know if you're a keyboard fan or a blackberry fan in general, but I love the keyboard. It's just very click I feel like I could I can type very fast. You can take lightning speeds like, for example, I had to use the classic Forge for a while because of personal reasons, and when I was texting with my dad.

I was I. Could text with him, and he'd say one word and I text back like three text messages and by the time before he would even respond to me at one time. So he picked up the physical keyboard. Pretty quick. There wasn't a time like a whole.

Lot of you know the learning curve for you and then because of that I remember where he would be texting me sometimes and say: I love this keyboard, so he's a keyboard man because he likes the feeling of it and yes with the keyboard, you lose a little of screen real estate. However, with these phones I, don't think it makes that big a difference. Now, if you're a gamer, you know or somebody you know- that's good. Okay and I actually say that the keyboard works for some games, yeah yeah, which I thought was kind of funny, and you know it's not the capacitive of the keyboard, where you can slide your fingers across it like on the original key to they took that away with the LE, because it's the light addition, that's one of the things that made it light. Yes in you know, you'd be surprised, you would think.

Oh, I would think you wouldn't get used to this. You did. There was not enough screen for me to watch any videos for YouTube or play any games, but you would be surprised, there's actually more than enough space. In fact, iPhone 6s, plus you had the iPhone success. The iPhone 6s is only 0.2 inches bigger than this. This screen right here, yeah.
