Looking at the Priv or another android device coming from iPhone for work.

[eddalejr]

Im a realtor that uses his phone extensively for work. Before my iPhone I had a z30 and a galaxy note. Both of which I like a lot more than my iPhone. First of all, the battery life on the iPhone drives me insane and I constantly miss e-mails and more importantly phone calls.

The priv looks right up my ally for a hardcore work phone, but also as something I can play on, watch videos or play clash of clans on.

I can't help but compare it to the Nexus 6p or Samsung offerings. Anybody have any experience with this kind of situation.

That is a good way to describe it. Very productive phone with all the Android toys. I can say the battery life appears to be very good. I've been on it all day down loading apps, watching videos, texting and calls, and it's sitting at 35 %. If you had a note before you should be able to jump right in.

The Priv is the absolutely ideal phone for work... that's what I use it for. For personal life I like my Samsung S6 Edge + more. But I could see myself using the Priv for both work and play. (I just like having my work and personal lives on two separate devices.)

I work in real estate as well as an appraiser and Realtor. I got the Priv and I'm coming from a Note 5. The battery life on the Priv is a lot better than the Notes and the BlackBerry suite of apps just works better for me and keeps me organized. I'd recommend the Priv

Nice! Thanks guys, your giving me some confidence to pull the trigger on the Priv.

Im not sure if you got the priv yet. I have the 6P, note 5, Priv, iPhone 6s plus and Lumia 950. Honestly, I can't put down the 950 or the Priv. I'd look at the 950 if I were you, the camera is excellent and I use it for and it's awesome.. Very underrated. Just ugly I suppose. But the Priv is awesome too. Id try both of them out because I'm constantly switching and I can't even decide what to make my personal or work phone haha. Both are awesome.

Does the 950 have the real estate apps required by the op?

Dude you just described my last 2 weeks.950 to priv, priv to 950, Yada Yada. I've got to remember it's a phone not a 500,000 house.

I think that if you enjoyed your experience on BB10 and Android, you will love the Priv. It brings in the best from BB10 and combines it with Android's unbeatable application support.

As long as you aren't a heavy Snapchat user like me, battery life will be great.

I doubt it. I had a windows phone and I couldn't get any of my real estate apps. I use an ekey app and a MLS app that I had to carry an iPad around for. That's why I stuck with android.

This is one of my concern actually.
I'm a heavy chat app user (mostly wechat, whatsapp and line) as well as company emails.
BB10 passport could not handle the intensive messages i received in those apps (i get upwards of >999 messages per day and the fact that those apps run in android runtime in BB10 and not as native app.)

So i am curious with your heavy snapchatting how do you find the Priv battery?

Thanks.
