Key 2 is recently unveiled BlackBerry android phone with old physical keyboard, it is the second to the last year BlackBerry KeyOne. Though in the age of on-screen keyboards, i assume BlackBerry continues to make such phones for the few but declining fan of the old keyboard.

Looks and Keyboard
Most of the features of last year's KeyOne are brought back in Key2 and they also share the same physical look. But, if you look closely, you'll discover that slight changes have been made to Key2; it is more attractive, slimmer, weigh less and the colour is less glossy.


Introduction of Speedy Key: Key2 now gives you opportunity to set and assign each of the keyboard's letter to represent the initial letters of your favorite apps and with the aid of the Speedy Key, you'll have shortcut access to those Apps. In other words, in the settings, you can assign F-key for Facebook, G-key for Gmail, T-key for Twitter and so on, and by pressing this new "Speedy Key" with any of those mentioned keys, you'll quickly have access to the app(s) and toggle between them comfortably without going through Homescreen. In fact, the process is more of shortcut  to your favourite apps.
