" ... I have been nothing but ecstatic about my KeyONE, having owned it for just over a year. ... So, if you want a $550 phone that stopped receiving updates, won't receive an update to the 2nd-newest version of Android, and may have received its last update, plunk down your hard-earned $$$. ... Given the security holes, it will make a nice paperweight in the next few months . ... "

" ... It no longer worked after that. ... An expensive phone died fast. ... "
" ... I've had the Blackberry KeyOne for about 3 months now. ... In just 3 months of regular use, the phone has completely become unresponsive. ... 3 months is about the shortest life expectancy for any phone on the market today. ... "
" ... Sometimes I don't know if my double-tap worked but it's taking a long time to open the screen, or if the phone didn't respond at all. ... I'll probably have another phone within 6 months because it's too frustrating for me. ... "
" ... Suppose to be business phone, but not hot spot after 5 months . ... "
" ... I’ve had this phone for about a month and some change. ... "
" ... BLACKBERRY IS MANUFACTURING DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS. ... SO NO CELL PHONE AS OF 3/13/18 AND NO STATUS UPDATE . ... YES THIS REVIEW IS IN ALL CAPS THIS IS HORRIBLE SERVICE I AM A LONG TERM BB USER BUT NOT ANY MORE ... "
