sp!k!ri, 06 Dec 2016I love the physical keyboard and can't live without it, that's I love blackberry so muchAlthough i use, touch screens i cant live without a Blackberry phone. I am a big fan of the physical keyboard which helps me alot with my emails, yesting and whatsapp. Sadly, they have decided to discontinue the old phones so now i needed to get the priv which i will do in couple of days.

phone is nice, unfortunately idea of using it`s software is crap. Why I can not longer apply a sound to text message (so i will know who text me without looking at the screen?) or uploading my own ringtones ? and not be able to find them on my phone or use individual ringtone to one person? This phone does not like mp3 to use as a ring tone. WHY ??? Supposed to be better and easier to use but it`s not. I do love (or as i should say) used to love BB. Not this time. No wonder they going to stop produce them

I have had a lot of phones for Business and personal, the Priv. is by far the best phone I have had. It is about time everyone stopped being sheep and only follow the big two manufacturers and looked at what is really available out there.

Great phone, But too bulky and heavy hard to put into pocket, same phone in much smaller size would be a killer. also if it would take 2 sim cards.

The Priv's is just 2 MP and not sharp in low light. Daylight pictures are good, but not great.

I do not understand some of the reviews complaining about this phone. Having owned various iPhones and Samsung Galaxy series, this phone is without a doubt the best of the bunch. The Android OS looks beautiful on the Priv's screen, the multi function abilities of the keyboard and gesture make it a breeze to write emails and send messages - using my wifes iPhone 6 I feel handicapped and stumble around sending messages. I am buying a second Priv after owning the first for a year just because I foolishly paid for the device protection plan with my mobile carrier. Yes, the newer S7 and other flagship phones may be slightly better, but they are a year newer and do not have a physical sliding keyboard. I still get compliments on the Priv to this day. The battery lasts a full day, and the screen is a beauty to work with. The extra layers of security that BB provides to the phone makes updates a bit later than other android phones, but that's the price of protecting your info in this digital age. For all who may be debating the Priv for various spec reasons, I assure you, they are trivial. Do your research, go to a store and pick up the phone and feel the keyboard, you will not be disappointed by this device.

poorboy, 12 Dec 2016Can you tell me about the front camera... I am a huge fan of blackberry always saw them in my ... moreThe front camera may not be the greatest. It works well with facetime and whats app and Skype, however certain lighting can give you a queer halo effect. My wife's iphone 6 does seem to have the same issue; I don't know about the S7's quality. I don't think this should be a deciding factor in your prohibition to purchase however - they keyboard and the beauty of the phone stands out.
