BlackBerry KEY2 Review: 3 Reasons It’s My Next Phone

The flagship BlackBerry in 2018 is a sleek, slab-sided smartphone with a design from the future – and a keyboard from the past.

The thing is, it will be *my* next phone – and I’m gonna do this review a little differently by telling you the three reasons why. Join me for the MrMobile BlackBerry KEY2 Review!...

Since you’re alive and breathing in 2018, you probably know about Tesla – both because of its efforts to revolutionize the auto industry with its electric cars, and … the sometimes-catastrophic results when those efforts go awry. As MrMobile I’ve driven the Tesla Model S, Tesla Model X, and the new Tesla Model 3 … but those videos only gave me a chance to give you the 10,000-foot view of each car. This time, I want to talk about the little things: from the pleasures to the pitfalls. I’m Michael Fisher and these are 7 things you might not know about driving a Tesla. ... Read More | Share it now!
