you’re able to now preorder The Priv , one of BlackBerry ’s strangest conception ( and it’smade some weird stuff and nonsense ) , for $ 700 in United States currency . $ 700 ! That set up BlackBerry ’s late in verbatim contention withsome of the safe smartphonesyou can buy .
That ’s not to say you ’re not getting some bully hooey for the money . The Priv comes with a Snapdragon 808 processor , a 5.4 - inchGalaxy S6 Edge - esquecurved display , a monstrous 3410mAh shelling , and its most typical feature — a glide - out physical keyboard . But the big treble underlined contingent with the Priv is that it ’s NOT compatible with Verizon , Sprint , or U.S. Cellular . So , if you were passingly funny about this unearthly bozo , hopefully you ’re chain to AT&T or T - Mobile .
The price does n’t all diminish my excitement for aBlackBerry phone running Android , but it certainly does n’t avail . To be honest , it all seems a bit like déjà vu . When Blackberry ’s Passport launched at $ 600 , it feel just a bit too expensive and Blackberry agreed , knocking the price down $ 100 a few month later . With the Priv coming in at $ 700 , I ’m anticipating a like feeling .
But BlackBerry has long aimed for the business - y , enterprise - wye , “ I get into a lawsuit every day ” type — and those masses tend to have a lot of discretional income . I was just hoping this telephone could be something for everyone , but we wo n’t make out for sure until we get our hands on one .
BlackBerry ’s website says the phones will start send November 6 .
