Keyphone is not a smartphone...so why's it so much FUN?! | Keyphone KP1 hands-on & first impressions

Another BlackBerry knock-off? Not even a little! There are no apps or app stores, there is no WhatsApp or Spotify, sideloading is blocked, and a "regular" version of the OS with all of those things is not forthcoming, BUT I can't help but love this nostalgic QWERTY dumbphone!
