The BlackBerry Mobile KEY2 is almost 5 years old now, but can you still use it in the year 2023? The answer is yes. The BlackBerry KEY2 is running Android 8.1 and has not received an update in several years, but most apps still work for it and the keyboard is still top notch as long as the phone is well taken care of. The BlackBerry Mobile KEY2 is the flagship BlackBerry Mobile device and one of the last remaining remnants of a physical keybaod phone to use in 2023. Sadly they KEY2 doesn't have 5G support and will only work for a few more years until 4G is eventually shut down.

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 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!

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'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

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.

@@TechOdyssey Very Durable devices. I had my BlackBerry classic go flying out of the "cell phone pocket" down in the leg of my pants, when I was running to catch a light rail train. I didn't even know it was missing until it was too late, but a girl found it and contacted me. I got it back from her and it was just fine. The screen was not broken and the keyboard was not damaged. All it had were a few insignificant dings on the frame. Even after I got a Keyone and Key2, I still used the Classic sometimes, up until they cut off 3g and it didn't work anymore. I still have it, but I can't use it anymore cuz of 3g. The BB Bold series, which the Classic was modeled after, were probably the best built, sturdiest phones ever made. They also had the best call quality. BB Bold 9000 had the best call quality of any cell phone, ever. It sounded like a landline. The built in stereo speakers also sounded exceptionally good for phone speakers.

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.

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

I love the key2. Best phone ever made. I have the S22 ultra it's great for camera but i don't like texting on it. Before i got the Titan but found it too big. I just got a slim. It's pretty good but it's still worse than the key2. Slim has worse camera (selfie cam is atrocious) the keyboard layout is weird with the shift alt on top row and space bar between the v and b is weird. The keyboard is smaller too. The screen is smaller. The processor is slower. No sd card no head phone jack. Only better thing is android 11. But i still prefer the slim over the S22.

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.

Key2 is fine in 2023. There was a time when discord was really slow but it was for every smartphone apparently and not the case anymore. For the rest, it's just a phone. It work. Only the camera is crap on this phone. The rest is ok.

Been using a Microsoft Surface Duo 2 for a year and a half now, ever since my BlackBerry Key2's life came to an end. Today I dropped it one too many times and screwed up the folding hinge. My immediate thought was "does a BlackBerry Key2 still work in 2024?" If so, where can I find/purchase a new Key2? Please point me in the right direction. Many thanks.

It is September 2023...and my Blackberry Classic is the only phone I have, and it works awesome as a phone, texting and email. I don't care about social media...and my phone bill is locked in at 25 dollars a month. Android users...keep throwing your money away on your ego!
