      Well, it's not as stupid as Doogee phones, so calm down :D
      BTW. You buy "name" or phone (as a hardware)?

                Putting Android on a BlackBerry phone is like putting a 3 cylinder, 1 liter, diesel engine in a Porsche.

                Windows would've been a blast on a phone like this. That would be like creating a full electric, high performance, auto-charging Porsche.

                  I wish they dropped the "rough corporate america" vibe at this point because it's out of fashion and simply doesn't sell anymore. It'd be nice if they took the "nice friendly Canadian" way instead and released relaxed and pleasant to use devices.

                    afshin, 24 Sep 2015im so sorry for bb cause cant be a creator of his own os...... moreCompanies do not exist only to show-off what their engineers can do. Guess what? Companies exist to make money. Surprise! :-)

                    Are you sorry for Samsung also? Their attempts to build their own OS weren't successful either - Bada, Tizen (well, still waiting), but they are making their money with their Galaxy phones (Android). Maybe, you're also sorry for Lenovo, Motorola, Huawei, LG, Sony, ZTE? These companies are selling more Android phones than BB can ever dream to sell with their own OS.

                      Why Blackberry Priv? That just does not sound like an appealing name for a phone! They should have just named it Venice!!

                        Good for BlackBerry. I hope they can make a secure device like Knox.

                          This device is going to be life line for BB to stay float in the market.
                          Android will let company to sell number of units which will let company alive, secondly I hope BB will not be too pricey otherwise..lol
                          I wish, BB could have android in BB Passport.

                                  AnonD-51393, 24 Sep 2015Priv is a terrible name, Blackberry Venice is so much better ....Venice is a nice name but for a Canadian company, why would they want to relate the phone to Italy anyway. Priv is a better name. BB Priv will be super secured version of android. I hope it beat Iphones security.
