I had this phone for a brief period and I really loved the slider design. It was eye catching whenever I would take this out in public and slide out the keyboard. But the SD808, perhaps the worst processor from Snapdragon, let down this beautiful and classy phone.

SAMMY, 15 Oct 2021its a really good phone...i love the keyboerdIt overheats and lags quite frequently. The SD808 is a terrible SoC and lets the whole phone down.
The build quality is typical quality BlackBerry. Amazing AMOLED display and slick keyboard. OS is too outdated for everyday internet usage nowadays unless you're a risk taker

John, 12 Jun 2021While I'm not a big fan of horizontal QWERTY keyboard,... moreI think you got something wrong about the QWERTY keyboard. It's not horizontal, it's vertical. Horizontal keyboard is something you see on a Motorola Droid 4 or Photon Q and Planet Computers Astro Slide 5G Transformer.

Jay1977efc, 18 Jun 2021Sounds like you had a faulty deviceThe sound is very good. Possibly your device is refurbished, faulty or not original

While I'm not a big fan of horizontal QWERTY keyboard, I do love the sliding screen mechanism. It really does give a flexibility between all-screen usage and occasional physical keyboard typing. I definitely hope that there will be a second generation edition of Priv with SD 870 or SD 888 chipset, dual wide/ultrawide camera setup, and a headphone jack. I would so love to buy one.

Really need a Priv 2 with upgraded specs of course , it will be a hit for sure as Priv had both touch typing and physical keyboard plus its display was ahead of time which was terrific.

Beautiful but very bad phone with an astronomical price too! Not even properly used it and died completely one night: no led, no recharge, nothing anymore! And when using it became hot, rebooting alone, could not update even some basic apps from Play Store incl. google as it was not anymore compatible! And nobody in service here will repair it, told me possible is a motherboard issue, but battery OK. Real BB phones and not those too expensive and bad running android OS became only a nice memory for me!

The design of this phone is perfect. the first day I saw it I ordered it automatically. BUT SURPRISINGLY beneath this beautiful skin lays an interminable list of issues:
-The battery life is so short that it dies within a couple of hours (around 3h).
-The phone heats so much that you sometimes think it gonna explode in your hands.
-The phone struggles too much to connect internet datas where other phones succeed quickly.
Actually it's the worst investment ever: It's totally USELESS.

One of the worst phones I've ever had. Problems from the day one.
Battery lasts for less than a day with normal use. When watching youtube or scrolling facebook the battery goes from full to empty in 3 hrs. Authorised service are saying the battery performance is comparable to other Priv's (it seems the high resolution is REALLY draining the battery).
After a few months problems with the sound emerged and were fixed by an authorised service. The speaker was screaching, longer calls (15 min +) got disconnected without any reason.
Very slow performance and overheating issues couldn't be fixed and remain to this day.
After 1 year of use the "volume up" button stopped working properly (needs to be pressed really hard).
After screenshot is performed, the phone slows down, red-blue-yellow light starts to flash and a bug report appears.
Several times the phone "restarts" automatically (starts displaying triangle-circle-square symbols as if restart was performed), however doesn't require PIN to be entered in order to boot. After 3-4 minutes it seems to be functioning normally again.
If I get a call during this time, the caller thinks it's ringing and I don't answer. However, I don't get a missed call notification. And I have no chance of using it during those 3-4 minutes, not even for an emergency call.
Also, mobile data doesn't work abroad. And it's activated. In a different phone mobile data works normally so it isn't operator's fault. Couldn't be fixed.
Now I'm buying a new phone. This was my first and last Blackberry. Really looking forward to running it over with my car when the new phone arrives.

MWC, 06 Dec 2020Bought it in 2016, still using it today. It is getting ap... moreSame here. Phone is still great and display is really good. Design is still modern. If this phone got android 7 I am sure that it will go for 2 more years. However, I am bored that it heats up and slows down. In the google maps I nearly wait 2-5 seconds each menu. Blackberry produced best phone to its date 4 years ago but they messed up with processor choice and lack of updates.
