I switched from a passport to this Priv, because the passport had been replaced 3 times by a faulty SIM card holder (i guess it has something to do with the sim cards, but those had been replaced also, nevertheless..)
The passport was my first BB and i just loved it, very strong and fast, amazing battery life..
The Priv is just another android phone, with all of the android sickness. Ofcourse you can install all of the android apps but do i really want that? no, not me. I want it to work .
I have this phone for a few months and i havent typed 4 sentences with the hardware keyboard. It's just not good. garbage compared to the passport.
Camera, well it just sucks also;
Build quality is also poor.
I'm not saying i'm totally going to give up on this phone. It has some lag now and then but no that often. It does get hot at longer use and then the battery drains at at least 1% per minute.
My next phone will be another passport. that's for sure.

John Jones, 07 Jun 2016Best Android I have used. Camera is outstanding. Marshmallow update now on phone makes it even... moreIf this is the best camera you' ve seen on a phone, you didn't have a lot of great phones in the past :D This camera has allot of problems with half-lighted conditions.

The Blackberry priv is by far the worst phone ever created: problems I have received to the point of insanity
1 ) overheats to the point where it feels like it's going to burn you.
2 ) battery life is decent if you're not using it for work if so give it 3 to 4 hours before it dies and if charging do not use otherwise battery life will drain as if you're not even charging it
3 ) there's a 100% chance you will receive extreme lag to the point where you want to Chuck it in a parking lot, get a shotgun and shoot at it a few times it certainly has tested my patience
4 ) when receiving a phone call sometimes it doesn't respond so that means you will miss probably some very important phone calls and have to reset and wait for it to boot for a good 10 minutes

This is the best mobile device I have owned, many are talking bad about this phone but what I found out that they look at it as a mobile gaming consoles! But if you want a mobile phone to be used as your daily phone for work and other stuff and u don't care about games like grown up people you can't go wrong with this phone at all. I am coming from BlackBerry Passport and iPhone6 hated most android phones because they are full of problems and options overloading the OS and mobile it self but if you want the clean android you need to use a nexus model again looks like a toy feels cheaper too, but BlackBerry made it right it feels a trip to the past with keyboard wow I can't complain, yes it heat some times but only if I am testing a game that doesn't mean the game don't work it works fine but for me Games are not a thing and I installed an app to show me the CPU temperature and we compared the priv to the Samsung toy 7S edge which only resulted in the Galaxy toy was about 3 decrease less than the priv (same games same time) I don't know why some are talking bad about the Priv but I can only see that it could be made by the help of toy seller's or people who comments wants toys not serious phone to look and use as real device for grown up men not kides wanting games and chatting to fell there sad free time!

Blackberry is the only manufacturer to update their security patches on day one availability for Marshmallow . http://blogs.blackberry.com/2016/03/beating-expectations-android-security-patching-for-priv/ Marshmallow made the phone even better. Dtek shuts down Any permission you do not want too give.. Eg microphone , location.

He was asking for advice about the Blackberry Priv with Marshmallow (6.0), and the answer you gave him shows that you have never had or used a Blackberry Priv, as its an Android phone, and the Blackberry apps you're referring to don't matter to an Android user. You were giving an opinion on a BBOS 10 phone, if you might have had one of those, or maybe a cheaper and much older phone?

I'm using Passport and Classic at the moment and thinking of buying Priv to replace Classic. I like physicall keyboard but I like touchscreen keyboard too. Wonder what is the reason Priv has both? One for SMS other for mails? Or touchscreen keyboard for short messages, physicall keyboard for writing stories? Can't find the right reason. For me Priv could be without physicall keyboard (and with better battery). What do you think?

AnonD-544084, 01 Jun 2016Hey, I'm looking forward to buy this phone, please tell me about its performance after the Mar... moreThe performance of the Priv after Marshmallow has become very smooth and I think all the bugs have been resolved. You should remember its 808 processor but thanks to Marshmallow its very smooth and its not getting hot. The feature of this phone is not processor but it has so many tricks and utility that no other phone has. Only drawback it has is front 2 mp camera. Even that is good in decent light but when its dark it messes up. I am completely happy with my decision.
