I have had no screen separation issues as some other early adopters have noted. The keyboard is excellent (it feels better to me than the Q10 I most recently used) and the device is well made - so it does not matter to me whether it was manufactured by TCL or Blackberry itself. I have set up the phone to have the same notification tones and same functionality as my previous BB devices. There is a very short learning curve to adapt to Android, but the BB hub is there as you are accustomed to. I'm also a 20-year veteran of Blackberry devices and this is the best one yet. I've been using the unlocked CDMA version of the Blackberry Keyone since day one and it has been a great phone. I do have them as a bundle package and have been avoiding the daily advertisements to add a wireless service and save more $$$$$. So, Will Verizon carry this model or will l have to breakup a two decade wireless carrier relationship and move to AT&T. I looked on both websites and they are not available. I spoke with the rep and she told me that the phones were only available from Amazon or Best Buy at this time. So, I asked to be transferred to Blackberry. If that was just the stupidest solution I told him obviously you must think that I'm incompetent. If Verizonwireless doesn't carry any Blackberry phones, where in the WORLD would I purchase a phone from. After, I spoke with a manager about this ordeal, I asked him a vital question. A long story short, Asurion was willing to reimburse me for another Verizon Blackberry phone if I had paid the retail price from Verizonwirelss and send them a copy of the receipt. She just kept saying that all they can do for me and transferred me to a Verizon rep. I was very frustrated and had said that if I'm paying you a monthly fee for service you should be able to service me with a device that is comparable to what I currently have and a Motorola which is android is not comparable to my Blackberry and what it can do and secure. She told me that they could only offer me some Motorola phones or I can call Verizonwireless to get a Blackberry phone because there wasn't anything they can do. I said to her that if they were out of business then their website would have said so and that they will not be having phones for sale. The representative tried to convince me that Blackberry is out of business. I was miffed because I knew that Blackberry still manufactured phone like this Keyone. My charger port is not holding the charger cord in properly, I called Asurion for a replacement and was told that they do not carry any Blackberry phones because they were discontinued. Ok, with that being said if or when will Verizon carry this model? I have been a loyal Blackberry user for over two decades and am not interested in any other manufacturer. The silver original color is already available through Sprint. Today, I visited the Blackberry website to see where can I get the newest Blackberry KEYone phone and was surprised to see that starting tomorrow September 1st AT&T is exclusively will be launching a Blackberry Space Black KEYone version.
