I gave my Captain's Priv a test.

I was able to spend some time with my Captain's PRIV, and while it is nice, for me its just too big and awkward. My HTC 10 is great, but I have this desire for a Blackberry again, but something the size and feel of the 9900 or maybe the Classic running Android. Does anyone think that BB could be convinced to bring back that form factor? Put an Otterbox or UAG case on it, and I'd carry it all day long. I don't really care about bleeding edge components, just as long as it has 2-4 gb of Ram, 32-128 gb of storage, SD card slot, and a decent screen. I would also like it unlocked so I get fast updates, and no bloatware.

The new classic style andriod nougat is coming in Feb

Looks beautiful. Rounded corners like iPhone 6 space bar is also the finger print sensor. Looks classy

I think what I really wanted was Android on the 9900/Classic form factor, which was so easy to use and hold in the hand, with an excellent keyboard. The Priv keyboard just does not feel "right" compared to the older ones.

They usually keep in line with the classic layout of BB, so hopefully a new unit comes out with those features!

The 9700/9900 form factor just feels good in the hand. There is nothing uncomfortable about this form factor other than not have a 400" screen for those who want lots of screen.
