Who put a penny in the ****head ? Takes 2 seconds to research....
Mine runs 6.0.1 with monthly security updates. It has been a very good phone and really stable.

No need for names, is there? It states Android 5.1.1 Lollipop in the post, and on the face of it, there's no cause to disbelieve it.

There's an "add info" button, used it to add information about the android 6.0.1 update.

It comes on Android 5.1.1 out of the box and can update to android 6. Still not worth £200.

Don't understand why there isn't a customs charge for this. Surely you'll be liable for VAT? Isn't it going to work out at £239 once you pay VAT.

A quick read of the Blackberry Reddit forum says stay well clear of this unit now. All support has been dropped at an OS level apart from the most urgent security updates and they will be cut off within the next 12 months also.

Is that for the propriety Blackberry OS? This is an Android phone (their first), in case that makes any difference?

No, its for Android. They were going to roll out Nougat on Sept 18th but then they have said they are no longer supporting OS updates for the device.

So much like most android phones

Yes, if it was getting the Nougat update it would be well worth the asking price. I would say as its not then its got to be worth less than this.

Crikey. Things really aren't rosy in the BlackBerry thicket, are they? :astonished:

Its due to their new ownership, they have decided the PRIV was a failure and they are only supporting the KEYone.

it still does the monthly android security updates, just like everyone elses android phone. also they quickly sent out a blackberry only update before android for the last big android breach a few months ago..

It has Android and this phone is well nice, had it in the past. If i wouldn't have got a Moto Z recently, i'd buy this in a heartbeat.

Snapdragon 808 for £200? No thanks.

You might want to read a few reviews about this company before you part with your hard earned cash.
No manafacturers warranty, just an Eglobal warranty that doesnt appear to be worth the paper its written on. They should be banned from HUKD in my opinion.
I just swapped from the PRIV to the Keyone, it's a massive improvement. The PRIV ran hot (reduce the resolution to 1080p to help), 32GB wasn't enough internal storage, the keyboard suffered for the slider style and the battery life wasn't great.
Shame really, it was a really unique and interesting phone but the lack of android 7 was the final straw that made me switch.

Blackberry (RIM) should just be left to die now rather than dragging it on and prolonging its misery.
I hated my Blackberry torch and that tablet thing they made. The fact they are still persisting with keyboards in 2017 is ridiculous.
