I’ve been thinking that my next Android device to replace the Nexus 6<\/a> would likely be the BlackBerry KeyOne<\/a>. It is apparently already selling in Selfridges<\/a>, and the reviews<\/a> are starting to pour in. <\/p>\n

Verdict? Good keyboard and battery life. The good battery life should be good for the fact that I like to tether and share the Internet from my Android device when travelling. It also has fast USB C charging.<\/p>\n

I want to increase my productivity on the go. Email on the go is something I feel like I’ve not managed to wrap myself around since I ditched<\/a> my BlackBerry 9700 in 2013. I want to use Twitter (though the 3 tweets on a screen seems like a limitation; until you notice that on your iPhone 7, you also only see 3 tweets…). I want to use Bloomberg. And likely I want to blog. But maybe I also want to manage tasks on the go, like run OmniFocus<\/a>. Oh, and Slack – that’s pretty crucial now.<\/p>\n

So now I’ve spent many years in the iOS ecosystem. I don’t find my Android being too useful beyond running the occasional GMail, Gogole Maps, Swarm, Chrome. I want to use Android more clearly, hence the BlackBerry. But I also see software I like like OmniFocus that will likely never come to Android<\/a>, and they don’t encourage 3rd party clients<\/a>. A tad annoying. <\/p>\n

Who says the ecosystem doesn’t matter?<\/p>\n
