Two months with priv. Would you still make same decision today ?

[shabbs]

I would still get the PRIV. I think it's making for an easier transition to Android for us coming from a long history of BlackBerry. Will be interesting to see what my next phone will be. I tend to hold on to my phones for a while though... so it could be some time. Heh heh.

Well I'm not definitely new to Android but I am new to Android on the phone. And at first I was excited about The Priv coming out and blackberry heading to the direction of an operating system that they were not used to. Of course like many of us I was all excited and I was the one or at least one of the many who was waiting for it to come out on Verizon.
When I finally ordered it on March 3rd and received it on March 4th I played around with it for the 14 day return policy you and I enjoyed it. I had all the applications that I would use on my BlackBerry z30 which I sideloaded from the Google play store of course.
The main issues I do have with the Android 5.1.1 are the delays of opening and closing of applications. For some reason when I'm in an application and I go back to the home screen and literally takes between 5 to 10 seconds for it switch. Also got a bunch of features that are not in the hub that I thought would be they're also features or applications such as calendar which are not great task manager which I miss BBM video which is not there at all which I thought would be I definitely miss my Peak and Flow. Like I said there are a couple features that still haven't made it to the Android version that is on bb10 which I hope marshmallow is up to date when it comes out but I guess we'll find out towards the end of April beginning of May. By the way I just did all this using Google Voice to Text.

The only other device I would consider is the 6p.

I would probably still end up with the Priv. I really enjoy the typing on a physical keyboard. The battery life on the Priv has been disappointing though. Hoping Android M improves it.

My wife needs to replace her Z30... will probably end up with the 5x. To me, monthly security updates are very important.

Probably would not at new price point. If It was around $400 brand new, I'd definitely consider it. Had the Verizon version for 4 days. Returned it paid the restock fee and went back to my 6p. It was a good phone though.

After getting my s7 I can confirm I'd go priv again.

Pretty easily. I thought it would be harder but once you get it it's not what I imagined.

The wife's getting the s7 and I'll stick.

BTW the spigen glass screen protector is pure **** save your money no bonding on sides so it looks like a long air bubbles

The only regret I have is breaking it.

What about the S7 do you not like? Seems like a beast of a phone...

All nit picky stuff

Don't like the round corners anymore. I feel like my s5 was a tiny bit wider. This feels longer and thinner. IPhone like.

The back button and recent positions. Power button position. Maybe I got to used to the priv and near stock android.

When I look at them side by side the s7 looks more feminine.

But it is a beast and still the best phone on earth still.

So tempted to dump it in water! Heheheheh

And when someone asks for advice I still recommend the s7 Always!
