BlackBerry KEY2: Remember buttons? Boy, does this phone sure have them

Props to BB sticking up for the hard keyboard crowd.

I had a BB Torch back in the day. As a bit of industrial design it was glorious. The keyboard was an absolute joy. Just a shame the guts of it felt hopelessly underpowered - laggy, hung on updates and of course the app store was woefully under-populated.

I eventually replaced it with a 5S, but have viewed the current crop of shiny buttonless tiles (both Apple and Android) with an uninterested scepticism. An SE2 seems the most likely candidate for an easy upgrade (with App Store investments intact) but I must say I'm open to a niche player selling me on something interesting.
