I wish the Priv was a bit more affordable, but it isn't a regular Android phone. The ultra secure BlackPhone 2 running Android by Silent Circle sells for $799... a $100 more than the Priv. Both Android phones target customers who require very secure communications (enterprise, governments, law enforcement, the military, lawyers, journalists, etc) but the BlackBerry Priv is more affordable than the BlackPhone 2... it also has better specs and looks much much better than the Blackphone2.

KillerZeus, 24 Oct 2015i'm laughin' bout the FM radio issue. still using "SMARTPHONE" as a radio? ridiculous. It's... moreThere's nothing wrong using your smart phone as radio. It's personal preference and please respect it!
question: is it a crime for blackberry to make a dual sim phone? if they make a dual sim phone, will their company close down?
it sounds to be PERFECT !
