The new Blackberry K2 has a modern design, it is lighter, slimmer, with the traditional keyboard but more user friendly and smarter. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 processor, it has doubled the memory size compared to the K1 model, but with the same extended battery life. Many more new features presented at the event justify the message from the company: “An Icon Reborn”. The k2 is available in June in the U.S. at 649$. Global availability in July.
What do you guys think?

a little bit overpriced for a sd660 phone
but i think for business user, this would be a good phone. just a slight upgrade from keyone, nothing too great.

Those on KEYone would not be a major difference in the upgrade... but it's definitely a good buy for those switching over or from BB10 OS...

Reminds me of my passport. Just hope it would be great if they can do away with the capacitive touch navigation keys, and merge the function with space bar.
My current motorola z2 play can do that, TCL should be able to.

I agree about the price. But what would be a good price for this SD660 in your opinion? Im currently using SD625, a xiaomi, it is only RM800. the SD660 is in the same middle-bracket chip as the SD 625 right? But it is 3x as expensive.

If the prices were cheaper, they would probably able to sell more A sub 2k price would be great. All I want is the physical keyboard on an android

Blackberry Key2 launching officially in Malaysia on 10th July 2018. https://www.lowyat.net/2018/165574/blackber...ia-launch-date/Since I skipped the Priv and KeyOne, I might just grab this Key2.

Saya pun sama. I dah pasang niat, next case that matches the Key2 would be be used as a reasonable excuse to buy the key 2
