Brilliant BlackBerry hardened Android phone.
Great phone, a little large for most hands (I possess very large hands so, no problem), easy to set up and use. Absolutely delighted with this phone with its 64GB of internal storage and an added 64GB expansion card seems to handle everything that I've thrown at it so far. The hardened OS also seems to be pretty good, if only at Android 8 (no idea about updating to the current OS iteration of version 11, i.e. whether there's a BlackBerry hardened version - a quick look at the website suggests not).
I've put my favourite apps on, favourite AV & Firewall suite (with a separate VPN client which is much faster than the Security suite bundled, at extra cost, version - reasons unknown for speed difference) plus found a whole lot more from the Google store.
The move to a virtual keyboard, from my BlackBerry Q10 mechanical keyboard, is a little bit of a trial as it's the one time that my large hands and fingers work against me (a whole lotta typing corrections!) but, all of the advantages and extras far outweigh that inconvenience. Battery life is brilliant, I've gone from needing to charge the phone every night to once every 2 to 2.5 days (as the battery is fixed, non changeable this, I hope is a permanent fixture).
The long and short of this is that, I love this phone and wish that I'd invested in one earlier - the icing on the cake is that, with a belt holster, it was about a third of the price of the retired Q10.
