Canadian carrier Telus will be selling BlackBerry KeyONE after all. Ha!

Turns out that quite a few people want BlackBerry KeyONE! Launch day demand for the device with large battery and a QWERTY keyboard is so large that it forced Telus, one of Canada’s larger carriers, to change its mind and offer the device to customers.

Personally I wouldn’t mind a smartphone that looks like this; you will probably agree with me if I say that all the smartphones look the same nowadays, right? A new, different desin would ...
