Good news for customers hoping to grab a BlackBerry KEYone smartphone, as Telus is now also offering the phone. Previously the device was only available for those with a Telus business account, but that’s not the case anymore.
If you are a Telus subscriber then you need to know you can grab the KEYone for $0 down on a two-year contract, which requires you pay $90/month. Or you can opt for a second alternative, which will have you paying $200 down and $80/month for the next two years. If you have some money at your disposal you can purchase it for $700 outright.
The BlackBerry KEYone arrives with a 4.5-inch display with 1620 x 1080 resolution and a QWERTY keyboard located underneath. It relies on a Snapdragon 625 processor plus 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. A microSD card slot is also available, as well as 12-megapixel/8-megapixel camera combo.
While the phone sounds pretty swell on paper, remember that a recent YouTube video revealed the phone’s display isn’t glued to the rest of the device, which means you need to be extremely careful when handling the phone, as a drop could result in the screen popping out.
Knowing this, are you still thinking of getting the new device?
