That's good. I found one with a charger, bedside/sync pod, and a blackberry car charger on Swappa all for $570 shipped, so I jumped on it. But I wouldn't have been able to afford the $700 + tax/shipping. Another Priv by itself and its charger just sold on Swappa for $525 the other day.

It's an excellent device! I keep saying that once its price is down a bit and the exclusivity deal is off so it's available in more places, things will really take off.

The Verizon version went through FCC yesterday.

I just don't understand BlackBerry's reasoning giving ATT an exclusive when their first priority is to sell products. Instead they limit their availability by excluding Verizon with the most business accounts.

IMHO it may be due to ATT sticking with Blackberry through the years when everyone turned their backs.
