Last week I received a PRIV from our AT&T rep to try out (I support mobile devices at work), my primary work phone is Verizon and I haven't committed to switch over yet so I've been using the BB in a limited fashion on WiFi but have a few questions which may help sway me. Overall I kinda like the device but there are few things I've been trying to figure out.

1) Is mail configured through the BES if one is available? I couldn't find a way to do enterprise activation - I'm not sure if thats because I'm not on a corporate BB plan, which was required in the past or if this just doesn't work with the BES like previous BB models. (Not a big deal, I manually configured mail, just curious of the true experience.

2) Is there any way to create folders within the APP drawer? I am currently using a Galaxy S6 Edge and that's definitely nice for organizing apps. I know it can be done on the home screen.

3) Is there a way to set which home screen is the default screen? I use 5 home screens, and keep the middle one as the true/default home screen (the one it goes to when I hit the home button) - then I swipe to the left for my calendars and then right for other things. Not a big deal, just curious if I'm missing an option. (I know some launchers offer this, I'm trying to stay stock, since the people I support will be using it that way).

3) The AT&T version seems to have wireless charging but it seems really finicky. I've actually only gotten it to work once. I have a generic/Verizon branded wireless charger. Where's the coils? I've tried it in all different positions on the stand but like I said, only got it to work once. (Edit - the coils seem to be on the left side.. If I put the PRIV on the wireless dock and let it hang off the right side a bit I have more success.)

4) Will the AT&T version work on Verizon if its unlocked? (I put a request into AT&T to unlock it, I haven't heard back yet but swapping SIMs when necessary would be awesome).

I'm sure I'll have more...

Thanks!
 
The coil is in the bottom left "quarter" of the device. For any launcher related issues try Google now launcher or nova launcher or action launcher 3.

1). I was able to setup my exchange but had to set it up manually as I did not use BES beforehand so I cannot answer this one.
2)
Not in the stock blackberry launcher, you would need to download a 3Rd party launcher.
3)
The coil is near the bottom left.
Your best bet for wireless charging is to get a 3 coil Spigen has a nice one for about $25, it also doubles as a stand.
4)
Unfortunately it will not work.
