sorry i cant help but giggle at some of you poo-poing the physical keyboard swearing you'll never use it.
you're still human with hands arent you? tactile sensation is a beeyotch unfortunately, we havent evolved past that. get your fingers to graze the physical kb and you'll be like an alcoholic in a liquor store. you hate yourself but youre still hooked lol!

I'm a long time BlackBerry guy who left for Android. The Moto X (2014) is my daily driver with and Zenpad S8 as my playtime tablet.
While I have learned to use a touch keyboard, I have never liked them. (Though the in on my old Z10 was pretty good).
I am constantly touching "n" or "b" when I'm aiming for the spacebar. Most of the time the Google keyboard fixes it for me, sometimes it's doesn't.
When I had my BlackBerry Torch, I turned off all the text prediction and autocorrect and I typed every letter myself. I could feel the spacebar and so without looking I could tell the difference. I was fast and efficient when typing. Most of all it was COMFORTABLE!!! I could write long emails in an airport, or anywhere with out getting stressed about the dang autocorrect making me look stupid.
A slider physical keyboard also has the advantage of not taking any of the screen real estate. I like that a lot too.
Anyway, to each his own, but I am going to get the Priv as soon as I can.
