Rest in pieces BB, for you have finally dug your grave. I will be the last person to waste my money on anything Android, not even from BB company. What a suicide mission BB has taken. Look, Android OS is a crap platform in the smartphone world. Don't mind its popularity, its a common phenomenon with every open source OS. So, popularity doesn't really mean reliability. Do you know, after lollipop update an Android phone consumes 6gb for system files only? What then will an Android user with 8gb internal memory do? He need to move all his apps to SD card, and you know, doing that will increase the app hang /crash problems in Android platform. Even at that, not all app can be moved to the SD card. Now, when you add up the security problem of Android with its hunger for space and power, you see its uneconomical to use the platform, no matter how cheap it may be. I don't naturally like android OS, even on BB. But why not make this phone to have a three and half inches wide screen with 5 mega pixel front camera? This would have push the sales higher.

BlackBerry should go with windows. Then only BlackBerry can come up. Anroide is no go and getting obsolite.
It is a big and tough competition for Blacberry to survive in the middle of big giants like Sony ,Samsung ,HTC and Lenovo.
I am expecting this device to be a big failure for the company.
faaz, 01 Nov 2015cant wait to upgrade my bb z30 to privz30 is so cool, don't sell it. it will be one of the last BlackBerry OS phones left and from time to time you might get bored of Android and go back to ceackberry. I wish they make a z30 like android

A really cool feature is the capacitive physical keyboard. From what they're saying it can be slid out and used as a trackpad for scrolling. And if you compare the price to the note 5 or the 64gb version of the iPhone 6s it's actually a better deal considering you get expandable storage, wireless charging, much bigger battery and Blackberry's hub and productivity suite. Looks to be the total package, should be a hot item when they start shipping in a few days.

According to the reviews, Camera quality not in par with other flagships, especially in low light conditions, despite good camera specs. This might be the only thing that might reflect low saling of priv. It would be such a shame for bb.
cant wait to upgrade my bb z30 to priv
[deleted post]Oh. Can you tell me where you see that review because I'm very interested. And I can't find any reviews yet anywhere. So please share
I really hope that there's stereo speakers under that grill.
If only they would have jumped on this band wagon 3 years ago blackberry would be flourishing ... and by band wagon I mean nice touch screen phones with good specs ... the sliding keyboard needs to go! I will be buying this exact phone when it comes in a NON-Keyboard model with curved glass ... very slick regardless :)
