repost from the old thread, evergreen:

I met a traveller from an Canadian land,
Who said—“Two vast and useless buildings
Stand in Waterloo. . . . Near them, on the green,
Half sunk a shattered smartphone lies, whose screen,
And hardware keyboard, and sneer of cold hubris,
Tell that its CEO well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the bezel, these words appear:
My name is Blackberry, King of Phones;
Look on my Security, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of those colossal Wrecks, boundless and bare
The lone and level wastelands stretch far away.”

yeah so how's that farming out production to shabby oems working out for you guys?

quote:

The BlackBerry KeyOne officially made its way to the US a few days ago, but some customers who have bought TCL’s first BlackBerry-branded phone are encountering an usual issue — the screen on the KeyOne doesn’t seem to actually be adhered to the rest of the phone.

The issue was first publicized by YouTube channel JerryRigEverything, which noted that the display on the KeyOne appears to just be snapped into place and lacks any more of adhesive or glue holding it in.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mavrdYZPg0Q
Additionally, there are already multiple reports on the CrackBerry fan forum of phones whose screens have popped off the front of the KeyOne entirely after small drops. It’s possible that the issue is simply a quality control problem affecting a small number of phones that just didn’t get glue for whatever reason. But short of warranty-voiding investigation into other devices to see how widespread the issue is, there’s no real way to know whether or not your KeyOnes has the same problem (at least, until your screen pops out, in which case it’s probably too late.)
