It's a very good phone, no doubt. But it's still stuck on Marshmallow which kind feels old if you've used Nougat or Oreo. Blackberry keyboard isn't as good as Gboard when it comes to swipe or gesture based texting and predictions but I'm just starting out. I've always been a hardware keyboard fan so this is my first Blackberry phone that I really like, despite its shortcomings. The hardware keyboard works nice expect if you're swiping to text on it. The spacebar on the on screen keyboard can't be used like a cursor but surprisingly on the hardware qwerty keyboard, it can be used as a cursor if you repeatedly tap on the spacebar thrice. The phone gets warm with light usage and app installs are pretty show. Snapdragon 808 and 810 gen processors were infamous for heating up.. Despite being a BlackBerry, software support has been ceased for this phone quite early So that means no latest security patches or major updates.. I guess Blueborne, Wi-Fi KRACK, Spectre & Meltdown vulnerabilities aren't patched and won't ever be patched. I regret buying this phone for the poor software experience but then I only got it because of the standout design..

Priv is a great phone but can be much better. Bring on Priv 2.0 BB

This is the worse phone I ever had. It's too slow and overheat after use an hour. Please don't waste your money to buy this useless phone.

I used the Blackberry Priv for one year and just after the warranty expired the phone broke. apparently the Android stopped booting! The cost of repairs is not worth it. Very disappointed for a very loyal fan of Blackberry since 2002. Never again.

They could just make a Blackberry Z30Q...just put a removable battery and i'd be okay with that.

Hopefully they make 3 or it a Landscape Slider with similar specs as the Passport (Blackberry Paper), Priv (Blackberry Scissors) or Keyone (Blackberry Rock) in a Wide 5" Display though...if they put the Front Camera on the Keyboard, put the Microphone/Sensers/Recievers/Speakers on the Edge & Develop Features config Soft Bezel/NavigateBar/NotifyBar then it would be a Non-Bezel Phone

This is a unique phone. Unfortunately I drowned my phone two months ago and bought a replacement online (the same Blackberry Priv), which turned out to be counterfeit! It did not last even a month and the software started messing up seriously. Also every time I tried downloading updates, I was getting a message "the device is not recognized"! I am eventually getting a refund for the phone, however I am facing the same dilemma now: should I get a new Priv (which is perhaps the best phone I ever used) or go for Blackberry Keyone.

I bought my Priv last year Feb, after a month the physical keyboard stops working, I now use the touch keyboard, can someone assist? Other than that it works very good, even the photos are much better than that of my wife who uses IPhone 6.

I didnt expect that Gorilla glass 4 on this phone would easily scratch on my jacket pocket ( no coins or anything but the phone). I was confident that this wont happen since i saw how tough it was when i saw the torture test videos . My budget phone with a dated Gorilla glass 2 was even tougher than this one .
