Best Buy [bestbuy.com] has the BlackBerry KEY2 LE (champagne) w/ 64 GB memory Android smartphone (unlocked) for $200 w/ AT&T activation or $250 + $50 bundle discount without activation. If you don't activate today, you can
save $50 with this AT&T prepaid SIM kit and AT&T prepaid phone card bundle offer [bestbuy.com].
This phone works with Verizon. The "* Phone will not work with Sprint, Verizon Wireless, Boost Mobile, Virgin Mobile or any other CDMA network." on the Best Buy page is incorrect.

In case you are wondering why I chose this phone above all others, here are some of the reasons:
1. Physical keyboard allows for 52 shortcuts. For example, pressing "W" initiates a text message to my wife and holding down the same key dials her number. Another example is I have the "F" key set to turn on the flashlight via a long press.
2. Physical keyboard is a joy to type on. However, if you are used to typing on virtual keyboards, it will take about 1-2 weeks to get used to this keyboard.
3. Top-notch security and privacy.
4. Productivity-focused apps like the Hub.
5. Security- and privacy-focused apps like DTEK and Password Keeper.
6. Three finger swipe down anywhere on the screen to launch the very cool Privacy Shade (
see this screenshot [googleusercontent.com]).
7. Convenience key is handy.
8. Fingerprint reader integrated into the space bar is a genius idea.
9. Monthly security updates.

I'd probably wait for the sales on the Moto Z3 Play (even 64 GB) with amoled screen and Moto Actions, unless you need the keyboard or blackberry encryption.
It's really $250 unless you have a major carrier to activate today, no? I don't want to spend the effort to cancel/port just to save $50. This is the standard BB listing tactic now
Price seems reasonable-ish.

You can sell the $50 prepaid card and SIM kit.

And it's the Dual SIM model?
Would really like to try this out.
