THE BLACKBERRY KEY2 AFTER 30 DAYS! - REVIEW By Karl Conrad

It's back it is here, it is nostalgia time. What's going on guys, it's Carl here back with another episode and as I said, we are checking out the BlackBerry key to today. I've been using it since before launch for almost the past 30 days, and it's been a while, where I've seen a phone, or I've used, one, that's being super different, that's been refreshing and definitely brings back a ton of memories. From back when I was a kid, I mean who else out there had a blackberry when they were younger, I. Think I had the Pearl that had that little trackball that always got sticky. You always have to replace it.

The bold passports I've used a few BlackBerry's. In my day this is the version -. The key ? and I am excited to tell you what I think of this guy and, of course, the good old physical keyboard. This keyboard, this lovely, lovely, purity physical keyboard, is something that I never thought. I can move away from when I first went to I think my first iPhone times have obviously changed.

I believe I am now actually slower using this guy, but there is something so refreshing satisfying pressing physical keys. It's why gaming consoles still exist. It's why Super, Nintendo or Sega ROMs just aren't the same on your smartphone. Furthermore, it's because you want physical feedback. You want to feel like you're, pressing something, and you definitely get a lot of that using the key -.

So has my experience being perfect. Definitely far from it. I think, there's a time and place for a blackberry I've been using this mostly for work. To tell you the truth: because I work in a hospital I need a lot of secure files. I need that security.

That's where this guy shines and I think that's where BlackBerry's focusing its on business. It's on enterprise, it's on keeping things safe, secure encrypted! That's where this thing has a place in the smartphone world. It just needs to be cheaper if only this guy was four or five hundred bucks. I definitely think it would be a huge contender. If you just go through the specs anyways, it doesn't even have the latest greatest.

It's got a bit older, chipset, the snapdragon 616, thirty, five Williams of juice, which has lasted long because this screen is smaller. It's only a 4.5 inch, 16 20 by 1080, so not even quad HD, and that's the biggest thing that you'll notice. Switching to this guy is the screen size. It's tiny, it's small! It takes some time getting adjusting to. You definitely notice that when you're watching media on the key to so whether that's YouTube, videos you're watching a few movies, or especially when you're playing games in landscape orientation, now a certain part of the phone is unusable because that's all physical keyboard and is now just dead space and the nice thing it does have a fingerprint sensor, that's being integrated into the space bar I, find that sometimes it takes two to three attempts and if I have a wet finger coming out of the shower, it doesn't even register, that's something you have to deal with, and it's truly unfortunate.

It couldn't be better talking about more hardware. The cameras on the back we've got a dual setup: it's a 12 megapixel sensor. Once again, as long as you have good light, you'll get away with it. They aren't the greatest cameras, especially those good old selfies. Dynamic range, isn't the greatest, and even the sounds that this guy makes are a bit archaic.

You will get by that, isn't the things that you're going to be focusing on, and I'm assuming you aren't grabbing the blackberries solely for the camera, but the main thing that I've loved, my blackberry for, and I think is. Its mantra. Is the productivity, I bang out emails on this thing quicker and more efficiently, because I can't focus on anything else, I won't get distracted by games. I won't get distracted by other things going on my phone because I've got this hooked up to my work. Email, I solely use it as a work device, and it gets the job done, and it is making me more and more productive.

I, don't know if it's a good or bad thing that I can't get distracted by anything else. Even looking on Instagram doesn't seem as nice on this guy. It gets the job done once again, but I'm, usually back to my work. Emails. Responding to people on YouTube, answering YouTube relay emails and I find that I enjoy that more with this guy, as it's a Productivity and business focused device, if we actually now head to the menu system and check out D Tech, which is all around blackberries privacy.

This is I, think where this makes sense for enterprise for business users. For myself here at work, it keeps all of my files protected, and you can actually glance at a quick rating to see how secure or how protected your files are, keeping things private, keeping things confidential. I think this is once again where the BlackBerry will shine other than that, though, besides their retro factor. Besides me, getting a bit giddy whenever I take a look at blackberries, I still think there's a place for this in this current smartphone market, like I, said I, think it should be priced, lower I think it should be focused for business users or for people that just want to be productive. They're, not too concerned about having the latest some great aspects, running 3d games as something that will push the phone to its limits.

They want a physical keyboard and something that they're familiar with this guy has a place, I'm curious to hear your thoughts, though down below in the comments. Let me know what you think of the BlackBerry key to nostalgia. City right now and I will keep using this as my current work phone and keep telling you guys in on my thoughts hope you guys enjoyed this video and I hope to catch the rest of you in one of my next episodes or vlogs base.
