For me, no smartphone is worth $700 off-contract. And I refuse to go into debt or get locked into a contract for a phone - I think that's foolish.
There are a lot of excellent phones out there that have been out 1-2 years and only cost $200-$300.
I'm willing to wait until the price of the Priv comes down (assuming BlackBerry's handset business doesn't go under in a year or two). But even then, I'm still not convinced it's for me.
Normally I would agree with this but I can't anymore. Once I would have questioned people who queued overnight to get the latest Playstation 3 or iPad back in the day but what BlackBerry is to me, is what some people are to Apple or Samsung.
I got my Priv on the second day it was available in my country and there was only one vendor which was 60 miles away. In January I got my Passport and in May I got myself a Q10.
My reliant Z10 of three years finally died.
And since then I've always been looked after my BlackBerry with replacement devices in return for testing software although that's not really necessary anymore now we're on Android which is shame.
Most of the times they're cash purchases but with the Priv I decided to commit to a contract as I was happy with my carrier for looking after me. Most people will call me crazy but at the end of the day if something makes you happy and people go out their way to fix it that makes it all the while better.
Oh and there was one other thing I actually queued before it was released - To Kill A Mockingbird's sequel Go Set A Watchmen.
