I am really so attached to this phone and sadly I have to replace the battery and also sometimes the screen freezes I think it is due to being old I got this phone in mid 2016 and also I noticed that there are visible horizontal lines on my screen would it be a sign that it could shut down anytime ? . I really love this phone and I am upgrading to Samsung just because I have no other option closest to phone with keyboard. It may take a lot of getting used to with my new phone . Really hoping that there will be new blackberry phone out in the mobile market soon .

iOS and One UI are unbeatable.
Sadly no PKB phones with those :(

I've used a Black Edition for just over 3 years now. I am a long term Blackberry user and love it. Although an Android phone it has all the BB software users know and love (Productivity tab; Hub; Calendar syncing; document management) and access to Play Store apps. I am waiting for Onward Mobility and hope I am still able to use a smartphone when their offering finally comes out but that's another story.
For those who's company's require a recent security patch this phone won't qualify but if you want a smartphone for organising your life it's hard to beet a KeyOne. I have seen recently that new and boxed models are hideously expensive but if OM ever release a handset that will change overnight

Not a good phone. As a BB Keyone owner for few years Im disappointed. First of this is too large from its physical dimensions, second the touchscreen touch sensivity is guite poor, third is the issue of phone sometimes hangs and wont unlock the screen forcing me to the reboot the phone. Also when doing text or email the message screen is too small and when I try to read my written message before sending and verifying theres not too much typo's the phone occasionally thinks my swipes to be commmand and prompts me whether I would like copy, cut, sometimes it even switches the letters from my message and competely ruining my message. The Keyone too often attempts to do things I dont want to do, it feels this phone wants to fight against me rather than doing this I want it to do. Sofware updates dont solve any of these issues.
This my first BB phone. Im not going to buy another BB phone unless they produce more compact size phone with a hardware keyboard. After this Keyone breaks down, I probably will switch to cheaper feature phones.

Or else, from Onward Mobility, the new licenser of blackberry, the Key3.
They have stated it is in development. What that means i dont know. (what stage etc).
No hardware evidence shown yet.

So was having battery drainage, microphone and signal problems with my phone, not to mention the intermitent call problems when charging the device.
It came a surprise to me that all these problems ran away as soon as I enabled hardware acceleration from developer options. I'm still testing but seems promising.

Excellent phone - comfortable, efficient and fast. Physical keyboard with programmable keyboard shortcuts and other features does the job. I'm very satisfied.

Bought the KeyOne in Nov 2017. And this, after perhaps 8 years as a loyal BB user/fan.
Have had most of the Bolds and all the way up to th Q10 which was in my humble opinion the best phone I ever had. However when 'Whats App' ceased to work due lack of support some years back I was forced to put the Q10 into the drawer.
I used Samsungs for a while but when the KeyOne was launched in 2017 I just had to have one.
Marvellous mobile, tough and battery lasts nearly 2 days.
Like others here, once the screen became loose and fell out (not completely).
Took it to my repair shop in the Souq, 15 minutes and a touch of superglue later, it was fixed.
Just now, after almost 4 years changed the battery. Do not remember doing so before, but obviously it must be the 2nd battery renewal.
Must look at getting something else soon, but as yet have not decided which way to go.
Anyone any advice...............?
