Pre-ordered the Priv exp delivery 6th Nov

[CarlGalgano]

For what it is worth, the following blog says the Priv is delayed til 11/9

BlackBerry Priv delayed to November 9 | N4BB

I did check Blackberry's preorder site and it says 11/9 as well. Not sure it thats just if you order today. My preorder still says:

"This order will be shipped after the release date of 11/6/2015 for BlackBerry PRIV."

Take it with a grain of salt.

Nov. 9th that's my birthday. I want to see what reviewers have to say once they have the chance to unbox them. I saw CarWarehouse's unboxing.

Just a couple of things to keep in mind here, if you pre-ordered directly from BlackBerry, the phone will ship as of Nov 6th (assuming that the Nov 9th ship date is for pre-orders placed now, but no one knows if it affects all pre-orders, we'll see), so you should have your Priv next week.
Now, assuming from what I've read on some threads over at CrackBerry, if you pre-ordered it directly from a carrier like Rogers, you should be able to pick it up on the 6th. Assuming they have enough stock in store of course!

Just thought I'd share this in case you haven't found this for yourself. This way you can set a realistic expectation for when you should get your phone. I know I would be disappointed if I didn't get one this Friday (if I thought I was). Turns out my carrier, Wind Mobile here in Canada is carrying it, but hasn't committed to a date and price yet. I have saved up almost $300 of credit to use towards it, so opted not to get it directly from BlackBerry. So for those of you who do get one, please post your unboxing video once you get it!!! Also, maybe let us know when you do get yours, where you got it from so others will have an idea, if they ordered it from the same place, when they can expect theirs!

Happy waiting!

While I am looking forward to the Priv, I dont think I will be disappointed if it doesnt come on Friday. Way more important things to worry about. It'll get here when it gets here. Here in the US, ATT is suppose to have it in stores as well. Im not sure what the difference in 3 days makes. If there is some sort of delay, it must be software based and fixable. Gonna be a fun end of the week with people getting their Privs. I havent decided what I am going to do. I have a used 1 week MotoX 2014 (it was a replacement for the one I had that crapped out). 3 days later my Nexus 5X came. I am enjoying the 5X. Great size, I like the finger print scanner and really good battery life. With the Priv I only see I am giving up the finger print scanner. With trusted bluetooth locations and devices, Im not sure that is really that big of a deal for me. I may just use them both. Between my wife and kids, Im sure someone will put the barely used MotoX to good use.

Sorry I was redundant. I saw the forum thread about the unboxing AFTER I posted here. Did you order one? I did and its scheduled for 11/6, probably like most that pre-ordered. I am sure this forum will be pretty active over the weekend. I am surprised there isnt more chatter and activity. Perhaps that means that we are in the minority, wanting a BB with a keyboard. I guess the price tag has scared people off too. I do think it is pretty pricey. I see that ATT has begun preorders as well. Perhaps this phone will be more inline with how other highly priced phones are sold.... on contract. I cant stand the thought of a contact.

No need to apologise

Nope, I am just curious as to how people find it. If it gets a successor this time next year I may just get that instead of the Note 6.

This year I am getting a new tablet to replace my aging iPad 4, busy waiting for the iPad Pro 128gb LTE

So many devices..... in the past 2 weeks I have had a replacement MotoX, Nexus 5X and waiting for my Priv. I want the new MS Surfacebook too. I guess these are good problems to have.

I havent seen one official word about Priv shipments for tomorrow. Im guessing its not going to happen.
