BlackBerry PRIV UK SIM-Free Mobile Phone

This is the Best Smartphone on the Market. If you ignore the stigma with Blackberrys and just take a look at what this phone offers you, I struggle to see a better phone on the market. All my friends keep saying I am stubborn for still using a blackberry. I told them I am technical when it comes to phones and I am not an apple die hard fan that would buy anything apple even if they came out with itoilet or iflush. Apple fans will buy it, because you can now flush your toilet from your phone. I agree that the traditional blackberrys have an issue. The ones with the blackberry Operating System. I don't like 'those' blackberrys' but the Priv is the Perfect phone! 4 reasons why it is better than apple and samsung 1. It has the security of a blackberry and also has the android operating system. 2. In addition it has the traditional qwerty keyboard and also a digital keyboard. so what more can you ask for? 3.The most important feature of this phone is that it hardly breaks! All my friends with samsung and apple phones keep complaining about the screen cracking e.t.c This is a solid phone especially if you buy the outer shell casing. Unless you actually get a hammer and smash the phone this phone is indestructible. 4. because you have the qwerty keyboard, you can use the whole screen to view whatever you want while you type on the slide out keyboard. This is perfect for attachments, whatsapp, facebook. Unlike the other phones the digital keyboard takes up 30% of the screen. This dosent! You have the whole screen to view the content and type at the same time/ NO OTHER PHONE DOES THIS! This is an issue with all smartphones including this one. Be careful about the power socket. This is one area they can improve on. If you keep twisting the power cable to ensure your phone is on charge at some point in the future maybe 2 years, the internal socket may get disconnected from the motherboard. Don't twist and twist the cable to get a charge signal. rather get a proper charger that works with your phone. This is the same for any smart phone not just this one. I have all phones. andriod, apple and this phone and in my opinion the blackberry priv is the best. I am being objective and clear. This is one one of the reasons i think the brand should not be Priv. This is a typical Blackberry name where those at blackberry are thinking like engineers and not like creative marketers! this is where I think blackberry falls short. Why make a fantastic phone and call it Priv? For those techy people like myself I know it means privacy and to do with their security, but the general public wont get it. just use another name. I don't know something like. Blackberry SClass. Or Blackberry Nova. Or dont use blackberry at all, just call it something like SuperNova and then in small print by blackberry. Or maybe another name like 'Boss'. Start a new phone series and call it Boss. I am thinking and typing here. But something else not 'PRIV'! . Think about it you want to compete with Iphone, S7 then you have Priv? err does not sound right, Maybe iphone, S7, Boss (by blackberry) or Blackberry S Class. I am not blinded by the marketing of apple and samsung as I have all three and this is the best phone! I think I need to apply to the marketing department of blackberry and just come in with fresh eyes and tell them how to appeal more to general phone users like myself. And remember I have all three phones. If you are an apple fan with imac, ipad. then it is difficult to swtich, because you have seamless integration on all devices if that is your thing. If not, this is the phone for you. Samsung is just the same thing as the priv, but the priv is better. If I had to rate them. I would say iphone is like a VW Golf (easy to drive and the most sold car), Samsung is like a wannabe BMW(tries to be stylish but has some cool features) and a Priv is like a Mercedes S class(solid, absolute presitige with good security). The only different is that Mercedes do a better job at marketing their product!

This is for Blackberry Priv It arrived one day early and out the box I felt it was Good quality and easy to set up, It is not as Blackberries of old but I think it is a good compromise and Blackberry have done a great job with this phone. I am not that technically experienced with android and this is my first phone using it.... I am just in the first couple of days so this is a quick first impression review. 1/ well packaged 2/ Phone feels of a quality build, 3/ It was straight forward to set up, I just followed the prompts and read the guides (loads of online tips "Crackberry forum") 4/ The set up included update to Android 6.1 and app updates No issues took about 10min's 5/ Came with just a few generic android apps and some good Blackberry apps so not overloaded with clutter . 6/ I so far have not experienced any heat issues, even when charging and updating at the same time (this was sorted with software updates) 7/ the Keyboard is becoming a joy to use now I'm getting the hang of it, in particular the tracking function. and the slid out is of a nice solid quality. and I haven't got particularly small fingers! 8/ I Like the BB Hub feature, the BB security, 9/ the screen is excellent, beautiful colours, the curved edges add to the aesthetics and offer a practical use. 10/ Camera seams good I'm happy. I will update after a couple of months use

Had mine for a week now - coming reluctantly from a Passport which I had for 3 years. That was my first Blackberry and it was truly great phone. I don't play many games, but loss of Apps such as Dropbox, LinkedIn, Evernote and imminently WhatsApp as well as increasing browser incompatibilities meant I had to move on. I was somewhat concerned about the priv with reports of sluggishness, build quality issues, heating up and poor battery. But finally when the price came down to £250 ish I bought one. Wow - it's been a great experience so far. Great build quality, no creaking, not heating, faster than the Passport and battery often lasting to 2 days. I don't use Facebook (a known battery hog) and turned off all Google data feeds and locations when I set it up. Still getting used to the smaller keyboard after the Passport - but getting there. The hub is good - maybe not quite as good as the Passport - but more Apps are supported by it. Camera is very good and overall operation is sick and nice to have the ecosystem of Apps. Highly recommended!

Blackberry hat ein zerstörerisches ACCUPROBLEM: Aufgrund profitorientierter Händler ist Blackberry nicht mehr zu retten.Dabei ist es ein Spitzenprodukt, wenn der Accu O.K.wäre:Das erste Blackberry priv kaufte ich bei Blackberry direkt.Der Accu vesagte plötzlich nach 1 Jahr. Ich bestellte ei neues bei dem größten Versandhändler. Der Accu versagte nach 1 Woche. Ich reklamierte und bekam Ersatz.Der Accu versagte nach 2 Tagen.Problem erkannt,ich bestellt bei einem Gebrauchtwarenhändler an der Nordseeküste ein gebrauchtes Blackberry priv, weil ich spekulierte, der müsse noch einen alten gebrauchsfähigen Accu haben.Sofort als er diesen abgschickt hatte, kam seine Meldung: "Sie können das Gerät jetzt nicht mehr zurückschicken"-er wußte also von dem Flop.Beim größten Versandhändler hatte ich 'Rundumsorglos' abboniert und bekam eine Gutschrift.Aber cirka 2000 Euro verlor ich bei den anderen Händlern.Blackberrys Accu ist eingeschweißt-bei Malfunktion-alles hin.

Genial solo que aveces no responde entre lo táctil y el teclado normal pero no me arrepiento blackberry siempre espero no desaparezca
