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

The reason why you hate it is the reason why I love it ^_^

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? :)

in reply to Tony...
For me, I'll go for iPhone. I prefer the iOS rather than Android, but this is not the case for everyone.
iPhone have a better build quality and looks rigid. On the other hand, bb has a real keyboard for those who love texting and an edge to edge screen.
Consider also the accessories availability. iPhone accessories are everywhere.

It is good to see that Blackberry is coming up again. We all need Blackberry to build its own lost identity back. This jayant got fail due to the lack of adaptation to the people's need. Those days Blackberry was positioned in minds of the people that similar to Mercedes Benz. Blackberry need to come with Dual Sim phones urgently. Dual sim is the phone that needed for Business Community and professionals. Recently I saw Blackberry Priv , amazing features with Email client. Still this market is with a big gap. Samsung couldn't full filled the gap and either Microsoft. Microsoft's windows 10 is a big failure when its come to email client and they still learning to develop phones for business community and professionals. Blackberry need to immediately release Dual sim phones without delay. The market is aggressively seeking Dual sim phones with new features for email client. Ex. when you send an email from your Phone's pop3 account at the same time it should be appear in your laptop or pc after the syncing. This amazing feature is there with the Blackberry Priv but the phone is single sim. Single sim is useless for professionals and business community.Please act fast and build your image with supplying markets need.

Why Blackberry doesn't have dual sim. That why Blackberry struggling to come up. Good phone but need to adjust with ongoing needs.
