BlackBerry KEYone hits the US via Amazon and Best Buy

Starting today, those not sure about pre-ordering a phone without having a hands-on experience with it can finally take the new BlackBerry KEYone for a spin. After a small delay, this premium handset is now available for purchase in the US online and can also be found in select Best Buy retail stores.

TCL Communication reveals that US customers get two unlocked variants of the BlackBerry KEYone. One will be optimized for GSM networks such as T-Mobile and AT&T, while the other comes with CDMA support for Verizon Wireless. Sprint is expected to have this handset in its portfolio later this year as well - by the end of the summer, to be more precise.

BlackBerry KEYone has a price tag of $549.99 USD. It offers a 4.5-inch IPS display with 1,080X1,620 pixels, is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor, next to 3 GB RAM, and 32 GB internal storage. Only available in black, it comes loaded with Android 7.1 Nougat.
