8 years, 2 months and 9 days since my last proper video... a first look at the @BBMobile KEY2 LE.

Just had to wait for BlackBerry to exit the phone game, start @clickskeyboard and build my own Communicator Smartphone to have something worth talking about again! 😃

Oddly, I never thought it would happen. He seemed immortal.

"Considering the marvelous complexity of the universe, its clockwork perfection, its balances of this against that ... I believe that our existence must be more than either of these philosophies. That what we ARE goes beyond euclidean or other 'practical' measuring systems ... and that our existence is part of a reality beyond what we understand now."

Words by Jack B. Sowards, performed by my favorite captain.

RIP Sir Patrick. 😢🖖

I wanted to run this video literally weeks ago (ahead of the iPhone Duo madness) but I'm surprised to see it's doing well despite the Apple-review onslaught!

If you're looking for the best smartwatch for an Android phone, the Pixel Watch 5 is truly outstanding in a lot of ways ... and frustratingly limited in others. My review: https://t.co/Qpgv8StgMS

I love that @facer_io got @timex on-board as a partner, too. A Timex was my first wristwatch as a kid (before Indiglo, even) and it's pretty wild to have the brand back on my wrist.

Obligatory gallery of some of my favorite faces below, and obligatory sponsor link in the reply.

@blaquenoise Hahahaaaa this is amazing

[Michael Fisher @Captain2Phones]

Hey Grant! Sadly every portable keyboard I've tried that truly fits in a pocket is fatally compromised in some way. The best combination of portability and functionality I've seen so far is Clevetura S, but it doesn't have a case or a stand for the phone. I'll be talking a little more about this in my next Duo video next week!

[Michael Fisher @Captain2Phones]

I haven't been this excited about smartphone apps since 2008.

The iPhone Duo seems to have galvanized the developer community, leading to an explosion of novel concepts and new designs. Feels like the iPhone 3G all over again, and I'm *very much* here for it

I been watching @Captain2Phones (correctly) call out this "Foldable can't play video without black bars so foldable bad" attitude for GENERATIONS...

...but what's it actually gonna take to make people realize foldables have (for a long time now) been valid for many, many uses?

@7pve7 @1424gks "Seven years," to be precise

@ARJWright Ahhh good call. Actually this looks like it would have been right at home on the TouchPad running webOS 3.0!

[Michael Fisher @Captain2Phones]

@corbyn15 I’m not seeing that. Only option is to disable “rest to open,” which just requires an added swipe after unlock.

[Michael Fisher @Captain2Phones]

Always love getting on-mic with Cherlynn to talk my favorite subject. Tune in to the rebooted pod!

Surprises And Hot Takes After A Week With The IPhone Duo

Did Apple do foldables better than Android phone makers? Is this a net good for the category? On the Engadget Podcast this week, we're joined by foldables aficionado Michael Fisher to talk about the iPhone Duo.
