To recap
At £349, the price reflects the mid-range specs, but what you get is still a solid, productivity-boosting device that holds true to the values you’d expect from a BlackBerry. You really don’t miss much from the more expensive aluminium Key2, except the better camera which - for some - will make the LE model a no-go.
