      Device is on Marshmallow and is like a Nexus phone. Beautiful pictures and no bloat.

            zee, 06 Jun 2016hi do we need to go for blackberry packages only or can we go for normal data internet.Are you insane. The need for separate Internet plans was long gone with the introduction of BB OS10. Plus this is an android phone. Consider This as a premium build Nexus not a cheap nexus toy

                          I think you should have read about the Priv before complaining about easily solvable issues. The heating is something known about, and the solution is simple - turn off the 2G. So Instead of 4G.3G.2G, you'd only connect to 4G.3G. No more overheating. Anyway, who uses 2G anymore, unless you're in a country with no 4G and poor 3G?

                            Blackberry Priv is the closest thing you ll get to a Nexus phone. No bloatware like other Android phones. If you want to use Blackberry productivity apps you can otherwise you can switch them off and Voila. PURE Android heaven

                              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.

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.

                                I like this phone, but the camera on any iphone is WAY better

                                      AnonD-541493, 26 May 2016Ive been using the Sh*t Berry Priv for almost 5 months now. And yep you guessed it I am absolu... moreI think me and you are on the same page this phone has busted a few blood vessels

                                      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
