I'm looking across the table at a meeting and watching a few of my colleagues use old BlackBerries and won't give them up because they need to type. Try as I might to show them how swiping keyboards or autocompletion works and is faster they still won't budge.
Problem is, their options are getting pretty slim. Except the new BlackBery Key2 is coming out soon.
And that 'soon' now has a date: July 6th
So go and celebrate Canada Day, heck the week and when you're done your revelry you can go and pick up the new Key2 for either $830CDN outright or from $95-$100 on a contract at Bell, Rogers, SaskTel or Telus.
Think you'll be a little too worn out from all the Canada Day celebrations to get it or have not touched your saved money to buy it, you can preorder the device starting tomorrow (June 21st) at Rogers.
Now, these will be the device in Black. To get a silver version you'll have to buy outright via Amazon, or other online shops.
Check out the press release below for more official details.
