Pre orders are starting today for the PRIV on BB website. $899.00 CAD. And scheduled ship date is Nov 6/15
 
Now I just need to know what the on contract pricing is going to be. If it is the rumoured $399.00 CAD I believe I will pass as there are way to many good options for a lot less money.

I paid 460 for my dads note 5 on 2 year contract.

Thats correct! If you dont take a plan rogers has online for you then you dont get the nice upgrade price. They ADD 160 on top.

Thats if you want to keep your old plan.

So the priv for me would be 399 + 160. I do have an upgrade available too but its a bit outta my range.

I have an upgrade. So it would be the 399. the problem is you can get into the Nexus line for less as well as the LG G4 for half the cost. and if you base it on specs they are virtually the same minus the slider portion. So I guess the real decision is the PRIV keyboard worth $249.00 give or take.
 
As much as I like the concept of a BB Android device, I am going to wait and let everyone else be my Beta tester on this phone. I think that it will drop to $599 or less after Christmas. I wonder how durable the slider will be in practice, as well as overall durability. I had two 9700's and both died within 9 months, in both cases the keyboards just quit. I went to HTC and have never looked back until now. Also getting Android 6.0 is going to be a big deal, as is the physical size of the phone. Will it take a case? I am over protective of my phones for the most part using Otterbox or UAG cases with tempered glass screen protectors. Again, I think I will wait till the Beta testing is over.

So much for this phone's pre-orders making it to the front page. Didn't even know it was up until I got a tweet. Pre-ordered mine, now to patiently wait.
