I've been looking out for a Blackberry Keyone Black edition to replace my Priv and stumbled across this deal. Normally the phone costs £550 but mobiles.co.uk are charging £50 upfront and £27/mo for 24 months for a total price of £698. The contract attached is with O2 and provides 3GB of data along with unlimited calls and texts. Works out to £6.16/month for the phone contract. The phone itself is generally well-reviewed. It's sturdy, has a long battery life and the keyboard helps you write out emails accurately.
Key phone specs:
Dimensions - 149.1 x 72.4 x 9.4 mm (5.87 x 2.85 x 0.37 in)
Comms - Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, dual-band, Bluetooth 4.2, GPS, NFC, FM radio
Connector - USB 3.1, Type-C 1.0 reversible connector, USB On-The-Go
Battery - Non-removable 3505mAh Additional - Fingerprint Sensor in the space bar, 3.5mm jack, QuickCharge 3.0
Note: This is not the same as the silver edition though it is very similar. The silver edition has 3GB RAM and 32GB storage while this edition has 4GB RAM and 64GB storage, making it a little more futureproof.
Note: £25 cashback offer at TCB and Quidco bringing the total to £673.

Does it come with a DVD box set of the Back to the Future films? That would be so fly.

just trying to understand why do someone still need a phone with physical keyboard and a small screen...

In short there are two ways to use a smartphone. There's media consumption where for instance you watch youtube heavily. There's also communication where you spend a lot of time writing replies, emails and whatever. This phone sucks for media consumption you're right, an S8 would be a much better phone for that.
Personally though I spend a lot of time writing, what with email, slack, Facebook messenger, replies to hukd threads, tweets, etc. I find 98% of typing on my phone is on the physical keyboard despite the onscreen keyboard being perfectly viable. My accuracy is higher, my need for autocorrect is lower, generally a physical keyboard is better if you need to type a lot.

hot. I miss keyboards, the last time I enjoyed typing on a phone was the Nokia e72. would so get this if my mobile plan wasn't so much cheaper (£30 per year) and I hadn't just got a new phone 4 months ago.
