Love this phone for unique design, keyboard and touchpad perfect combination, outstanding amoled build quality after several years (even the latest phone easily get green line issue)
Hate for software (yeah if this use one ui will be perfect, the base ui is too flat), Battery drain and too hot (yeah the power efficiency chipset design is late behind)
but the overall quality is better than LG Sony or even Samsung at the same generation (LG G4 motherboard issue, Sony Z5 too overheat, Samsung S6 pink line issue)
Hope that OEM build this phone again rather than make folded design which unreliable at all, this design is still reliable and people still need keyboard and touchpad for typing

I had great expectations for this phone. However, quite recently I have been having a bad experience where the phone just keeps on shutting down and will not reopen. it's been doing this for a number of days and also keeps heating up. It's been doing a continuous update which doesn't seem to be finishing anytime soon.

This is the best designed phone I ever used, unfortunately it constantly heated up even during normal day to day usage due to poor snapdragon processor.. Unfortunately there is no other phone like this in terms of design and a unique appeal..

This PRIV still does so much more than new phones; thats why the new price has not reduced. I notice the few negative comments regarding software all relate to really stupid software demands, software that really nobody uses, nor should; yet the PRIV has so much useful software the new phones dont have. Blackberry is a software company.

The beautiful PRIV could have become a useful device if AT LEAST the software was functional. But it isn't. It doesn't have multi window or basic split screen mode. It doesn't even have a single handed mode! Without these functions, what use has such a big screen (well, back then I found it to be gigantic) other than consuming modern films or video games? If the latter was the purpose, there are much better devices for that.
Then, this device overheats constantly. And the build quality is very low, so it's not a product to last despite its hefty price tag. If, in addition to functional software, the material quality wasn't so bad, the PRIV would have become a very good device.
And in addition to all of that, if the PRIV didn't lack the optical trackpoint, it would have been very best smartphone on the market. Too bad BB didn't care.
