BlackBerry KEY2 (blackberry-athena)
Appearance
	
	
| This device is supported as part of a generic port. Refer to BlackBerry KEY2 Generic (blackberry-key2-generic) for installation instructions and more information. | 
| This device has been tested with postmarketOS, but its device package has not yet been added to the postmarketOS repositories. This means that it cannot be selected in pmbootstrap. Status: bootloader is very locked down, but once you get over that hurdle most things work. But the gpu crashes a lot due to a bug in the sdm660-mainline kernel. |
