After Marshmallow update, heating is resolved. Heavy gaming is warming it up but not hot anymore (it's normal and it even happens with latest processors). Battery is fantastic now, can easily get through a day of heavy use. All glitches are resolved. Now I believe they are releasing further updates for fine tuning..

Be different to all the other followers , get a Priv by far the best phone our business has got, blows our iPhone 6 s and Samsung s6 out of the water, awesome camera loads of memory and like always the best communication phone for business by a country mile .

If you love security you will know that this phone gets updated faster than any Other Android phone. Day one security patches and constant updates from Blackberry have made this phone a beast. Since phone is now on Marshmallow its battery life is lasting even longer. Camera on the Priv is amazing. Blackberry really went all out when they chose schneider kreuznach. They have a long history going back over 100 years making some of the best lenses in the world.

The Priv is an Android phone with many features of a Blackberry 10 phone. Best of both worlds.. I have a feeling the negative posters on here are short sellers. Nothing to do with the most secure Android phone which Blackberry built.

My Priv frequently goes on standby/sleep mode. The blank black screen is very frustrating. Changed the display settings but with no success. Any trick to get back my screen?

AnonD-541493, 26 May 2016Ive been using the Sh*t Berry Priv for almost 5 months now.... moreIf you actually knew how to use A modern smartphone you'd be able to close all background apps. Camera is the best Camera on a smartphone i have ever used . I can post those pics anywhere you'd like to prove it. On Marshmallow the Battery life has improved even more. I get a full day of use on it.. Once again If you knew that you can Stop your apps from constantly updating in the background, and using your battery in multiple ways. Dtek is absolutely fabulous. I can shut off any permission I don t like now.

Ive been using the Sh*t Berry Priv for almost 5 months now. And yep you guessed it I am absolutely not impressed.
First of all, the keyboard is absolutely useless. Why?
1. When slide up the phone becomes overly long and the weight of the phone is shifted towards the top of the phone. Making it hard to hold the phone while typing UNLESS your hands are larger than normal.
2. But if your hands are larger than normal you will have a hard type trying to type on the small keys as your fat fingers will be pressing everything except the one you want.
So why not just use the screen-touch keyboard? Well yes... that's exactly what I have been using the whole time so really the keyboard just becomes a useless function that makes the phone heavier, and the battery power less efficient.
OVERHEATING
This phone constantly overheats when you have too many background apps open, or especially when downloading new stuff. And it gets super hot making it a nuisance to touch, and just plain out makes you feel like your holding a crappy phone.
LAG
This phone 4 out of 7 days is having a spaz lag party in which you the user must endure and bear until for some reason it goes back to normal. The way I handle this is by using cleaner apps, speed boosting apps etc. etc. Which wastes my time.
Camera
The camera is horrible. The quality of photos taken is horrible, the capture speed is terrible. When taking a selfie with this phone make sure you dont move a hair for at least 3 seconds after you press the button, or it will be a blur.
Batteries
Takes long time to fully charge, and 100% battery use is about 7 hours maximum.
In conclusion...
The money spent on this phone can be so much better spent. Please think carefully before buying this phone, unless your a real BB advocate I suggest spending your cash elsewhere. The keyboard gets old after about the first week, so if that's your reason to buy this phone then seriously think again.

The Priv Keeps on Getting better with every update. Now on Marshmallow it rocks even more. New price in the Usa will help it sell even better

Mueen, 23 May 2016Hello, did you get answer to your question if Priv supports... moreIve used BB in many years, have used both BIS and BES, but when i changed to Q10 it wasnt necessary with either BIS or BES. I had data and could access my work mail/exchange etc. PRIV has Android and should work as other non old BB phones, but you want you data compressed through RIM? BIS provided you a data connection through RIM, and all data was compressed and so on. You should have full data access without BIS or BES with a 10+ BB. And what i mean is that theres no need for either BIS or BES today, unless your admin or ISP tells you so, what would be strange!? Did i misunderstood anything? :)
