Rumors early on was that it would be available on all 4 major US carriers. I'm hoping Verizon gets it, I am intrigued by the Priv and would love to try it but not at the $749 asking price but would consider grabbing a used one when prices settle.

The official Blackberry page says that it is not compatible on Verizon, Sprint, US Cellular. But that historically been the case with Blackberrys sold on their e-commerce store (run by Digital River). There could be a Verizon specific version released later.

Ya we will have to wait and see. I waited for the passport when that was announced and early rumors reported it would be available on Verizon. That turned out to not be true. Hope the same doesn't happen with the Priv.

Blackberry would be stupid not to find a way for Verizon to carry this phone if they want to succeed. With the millions and millions of subscribers Blackberry would only need a small percentage of those users to make a difference on their sales numbers.

Verizon got burned pretty bad with the Z10. Its probably a lets see how it goes type of thing.

Right. ShopBlackBerry has never sold CDMA phones.

And FWIW, no CDMA version of the Priv has been revealed at the FCC so far.

I've been a Verizon customer since I bought a Droid 2 the day it was released. Got tired of waiting for Verizon to answer this question, so they lost a customer.

Ordered a GSM Priv from Blackberry, and will switch to AT&T as soon as it arrives.

Scuttle **** on Crack berry is saying early 2016 for verizon to release Priv. Could be true, could not. Evleaks said all 4 big carriers would have it.

Phones sold thru BlackBerry store are unlocked world phones, have to wait for your carrier to announce when they have there's.

But to temper everyone's expectations: this could be a pre-production model. Meaning that it may or may not go into production, like the AT&T Z30 (CBers would know what I'm talking about.)

I hear what you are saying and I do remember that, however I have a hard time thinking carriers will pass on this one due to it being android.

This might be it: Why is Priv not compatible with Verizon? - BlackBerry Forums at CrackBerry.com

In addition, in a post over at Crackberry regarding the AT&T Priv, there was a comment that it would be exclusively offered by AT&T - whatever that might mean!

You saw that too, huh? That information was from att.com/priv, but more interestingly, the verbiage was later changed from "exclusive to AT&T" to "first on AT&T." I've personally seen both versions.

So thank you AT&T for confirming the phone's coming to other carriers?

I may be OLD but I can still read without reading glasses. So that "exclusive to AT&T" jumped out at me. Glad to hear that they changed their verbage. And that MIGHT mean Verizon will get this device somewhere in the next five years!
