Please buy the PRIV

[freedomx20a]

CEO John Chan said that they need 5 million Priv sales in the next year to stay making handsets!!! They will still exist doing the other things they do, which we dont need to get into.

Guys I know you all switch phones every year anyways or 6 months. Now carrier plans are 2 years. Thats nothing!!!

I dont want to lose them as a handset maker but I cannot buy 5 million units!

Im going to be stocking up on passports to last me the next 10-20 years as my phone does everything I need to and more with an amazing battery.
But thats another story.

Do you think the price will triple or even 5x if they exit the market? so remaining passports will go up in price? Honestly I'd pay, but I'd rather not and I have to keep a good eye on the situation to stay ahead of the trend!

So please just try out the PRIV! it is an android! Please help us keep our 1% market share. If you know anyone family or friends please suggest the priv. Lets keep some choice in the market. Choice is good for all of us. It is never a bad thing. O

Us blackberry fans are just on the sidelines now... in an ironic spin...the platform that killed us...we are hoping can save us...and all we can do is wait and see.

I do have a gut feeling tho it wont sell and I'll be duct taping my last passport together keeping it alive as long as possible. of course i will have spare ones but im just imaging way into the future and im on my last spare!!! :*(

I'd consider it if it were touchscreen-only, rather than a slider. I have no interest in physical keyboards, especially sliders.

Sounds like a nice phone but I'd rather not use a slider as my daily driver. Would have been interested in a Android version of z30 or Leap with upgraded specs.

If the early reviews are good I will be switching from my Note 4 back to a BB.

(I'm sick and tired of the weak antenna in this Note)

I have the Passport and I love it but I hate the lack of apps. Been thinking about a Note 5 but your comment about the weak antenna scares me. My wife had the Note 2 and her signal inside was aweful.

you might like it? play with one first at a store. If some stores agree to show it. I had so much trouble finding any blackberry passports at stores when I wanted to see if I should upgrade my q10. It was like finding a needle in a haystack!

I hope the Priv is not that hard to find since it runs android.

Everyone who says they are not keen on a physical keyboard should know that it's supposedly thinner than a Note 5 so you could keep it slid closed and use the software keyboard only. Lol

Cust : How many devices have blackberry planned to launch in next year ? All in android ? Or BB10 as well ? (Feeling anxious)

JC : None, if the sales achievement is not as expected.

Cust : -_______-

Pretend you can't slide it open. It has a on-screen keyboard.

It not just a plan PKB, it has captive touch which is No where near antiquated.

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!

thats the problem. Iam human and I just broke in my Passports keyboard. It now clicks with a sensual click. It took about a year to fully break it in. Now its at cruising altitude.

Of course, that's what makes it so different, it's never been done on a full touch Slider.

 

[crester]

I don't like physical keyboards, nor do I like sliders.

So don't use the damn physical keyboard. Leave it closed and the phone will be like any other smartphone.
