Re: the priv may get me to switch Well, without knowing your app needs and reason for having a smartphone, I can tell you that the Priv is an excellent device. The OS is stable as it's Android lollipop at the moment and the productivity enhancements that BlackBerry has made really do help with...

Yeah, I agree. It seems to need a few days to settle too.

I'm having the same thing here, two-three bars on Passport and one on Priv. However, the Priv is performing solidly on it's one bar. Even better than the Passport's two bars. My guess is that the signal strength meter (bars) are not accurate on the Priv. I even made a crystal clear call on zero...

You are so right! I just realised I can't carry my Priv! It's not mobile at all lol. And all those old BlackBerrys that people couldn't move simply because they had a pkb. Rofl!

The keyboard is backlit. A swipe down or two on the physical keyboard reveals numbers. Tap the physical keyboard twice to bring up cursor control and then use the trackpad functionality of the capacitive physical keyboard to place it where you want and caps lock is just a long press of the shift...

Definitely need a decent case for it though. There doesn't seem to be many about other than the official BlackBerry ones.

I guess, coming from a Passport it's easier for me to swipe, coming from a classic, Q10 or legacy device, alt would be quicker. For Android users, I haven't a clue. I suppose they've got the steepest learning curve but once you get typing down pat, nothing is faster than a physical keyboard. The...

Just swipe down on the physical keyboard for quick punctuation. Do it again for numbers. No need for alt.

Just did. Love it.

I have a Priv. I'm very happy with it. It's a very good phone. I wish other Android oem's could be as advanced as BlackBerry. Even their VKB makes others look primitive. Paratek antenna is the best too. I really can't believe a secure boot chain, cryptographic hardware key injection and hardened...

Well, I bought a Priv. Totally awesome device. Most of what I love about BlackBerry stuffed into Android with a form factor i've been longing for since my Torch. BAZINGA!

Maybe not, but I'm willing to give the Priv a go despite every Android i've ever had lagging like a lame donkey 6 months in. Generally, BlackBerry hardware is extremely good, I'm currently using a Passport for work as it's private, secure and has a stainless steel frame. 12 months in and loaded...

BlackBerry 10 is not "fussy" at all. It's very simple and intuitive to use. It's malware free and does not have the "bolted together" feel of Android. It appeals to world leaders and captains of industry who demand simplicity and above all, world class security. The handsets are consistently of...

Your post doesn't mean anything. It's like me saying I had a Samsung back in 2005 and it sucked so I'll never buy one again. Also, those were great phones at the time and hardware failures were not common. It should also be noted that those were built by BlackBerry and now Foxconn handles...

The benefits are numerous and they have no bad points, particularly in the case of a slider. The pkb does not take up any screen real estate. Writing a really long email or letter on anything other than a physical keyboard or at the very least the awesome BlackBerry Virtual keyboard is just a...
