Hi.. Did Blackberry update the Priv to Nougat? Yes or no? Or Marshmallow was the last update? Kindly answer.

    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 need a sincere reply. With the recent update issue,would you still advice that I go for this device? If yes,why?

                      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 .

                                    I have used this phone for 11 months, in one month it will be my one year anniversary with this perfect phone. This phone is perfect for my needs, it had a great camera and the keyboard is perfect for typing, it has made me more engaging with people because i was using an iphone previously and i hated typing to people. If you are experiencing a bad battery life, please do some of the following solutions, Go to Settings, Location, Mode and select Battery Saving. Also, while in Location settings click Google Location History and turn this off it will help your phone a lot, make sure to check frequently as the Location mode can always change back to High Frequency which drains the battery faster. Also, if you want to maximise battery even more disable the Location in the permissions of the apps, some apps need permission like the Google apps including Photos, this is the one app i always allow, if you use a location based app and the permission is turned off when you open the app it will ask if you want to allow the app your location and you can accept this. I also use Battery Saver all day, this stops all vibrations on the phone which can cause the battery to decrease faster. Another thing to really help is in Developer Options in Drawing section, i turned off all Animation options and this has even made my phone faster too, i have noticed a 20% increase in my battery life, i get 14 hours out of my battery before i sleep and the battery percentage is between 20-30% after the 14 hours usage.

                                        The phone is a very nice phone that I would recommend to anyone anytime and anywhere. to those feeling bad for the stopped updates, I doubt people actually know what such update does to phones and if it makes any specific and noticeable change to the running of the phone. the phone is exquisite but cheap phone and whether marshmallow, nougat or kitkat, everything gets outdated in 2018.
