Where to buy the BlackBerry KEY2
Your guide for picking up the KEY2 in the U.S. and Canada.
The BlackBerry KEY2 isn't a smartphone for everyone, but for fans of the BlackBerry brand or those that just want to have their physical keyboard back, it's the go-to choice if you're buying a new phone in 2018.
If you live in the U.S. or Canada and are interested in getting a KEY2 for yourself, we've put together a guide of where exactly you can pick up the phone. We'll continuously update this as more info becomes available, but for now, let's jump right into it.
United StatesThe KEY2 hasn't been announced for any carriers, but BlackBerry is making it available unlocked through multiple channels. It's going up for pre-order on June 29, followed by full sales on July 13. The U.S. unlocked KEY2 is designed for use on T-Mobile and AT&T, as well as their prepaid subsidiaries - so no, there isn't support for Verizon or Sprint here.
AmazonAmazon is charging $649 for the unlocked KEY2, in either silver or black. If you'd like to finance your purchase, Amazon offers 12-month no-interest payments for purchases over $599.
Best BuyIf you prefer to buy from Best Buy, you'll be able to get either color of the KEY2 from BestBuy.com for the same $649 price. Best Buy hasn't committed to having the KEY2 in stores, at least at the start, but there is 12-month no-interest financing for purchases of $399 or more.
CanadaBellThe first Canadian carrier on our list, Bell, will begin sales of the KEY2 on July 6.
When purchased with a two-year contract, the phone will set you back $99 CAD.
RogersRogers will also open sales for the BlackBerry KEY2 on July 6, but you'll pay ever-so-slightly less at $95 on a two-year term.
If you absolutely can't wait until July 6 comes around, Rogers will open pre-orders starting June 21.
SaskTelFor customers of SaskTel, you can expect to pay $99 for the KEY2 when you purchase it on a two-year term.
Similar to every other Canadian carrier, you can get your order placed beginning July 6.
TELUSIn regards to TELUS, this is where you'll spend the most on a KEY2 when buying it on a two-year contract.
TELUS is charging $100 for the KEY2, and while that's not a whole lot more than its competitors, it is worth looking elsewhere if you have the option.
As expected, you'll be able to purchase the KEY2 on July 6.
UnlockedIf you're not about that carrier life and prefer buying your phones unlocked, you have several good options in Canada
Starting in July, BlackBerry says you'll be able to purchase a carrier unlocked version of the KEY2 from Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Staples, Blueshop, and Visions.
No matter which retailer you decide to buy from, the unlocked KEY2 is going to cost you $829 CAD.
