    Interesting to see so much interest in this. Boy did BB Bork what they had back in the day. The world was their oyster until it wasn’t because of their own hubris and it took them a decade to realize it.

    if you’re inclined to buy it, ensure you purchase this without expecting long-term support from the company.

      I hope that happens but probably wouldn’t unfortunately. It has a Mediatek soc. The Key2 port would be more realistic.

    I’d rather have a Canadian made, privacy focused blackberry again without the android bullshit.

      If it’s bootloader unlockable, at least we’ll be able to flash a rom like Lineage.

      I could go for one of these at $200, so maybe as a second-hand device in a couple years, if I can flash Lineage.

    I would love an updated key2 form factor more but any physical keyboard phones are better than none to choose from.

    I’m looking forward to my titan 2 from unihertz, I just hope someone makes a postmarket ROM or similar cause I can’t go back to regular android -_-
