    I just moved from my priv to the pixel xl and I very much miss my blackberry virtual keyboard. Is there a way to get it working on my new phone? I tried downloading from the app store and side loading but an error is received either way.

    I've tweaked the title, please supply some screen shot of error. Chances are it is not compatible with nougat...

    I believe the vkb is available for only Blackberry phones. For now.

    D60 will also be faster than priv. Processor much better.

    It didn't seem to work. My keyboard looks like the blackberry keyboard but the swipe features and predictions are that of Google keyboard... any thoughts?

    Okay, it's working great now. I turned on the swipe features which made my BlackBerry work like a Google keyboard. Now I'm back to full BlackBerry keyboard and working great!!

    Non BlackBerry types should use the Colbalt version. It is too bad that BlackBerry cannot sell their VPK app.

    Has anyone used a Apk capture app on their PRIV and moved it over to their other Android device ? I used to use such an app to transfer an Apk from a Nexus to a Z10.

    Probably due to licencing restrictions with Swiftkey.

    Good point. But they should have worked something out, because they could make bank on the VKB. If there's one thing that people don't deny that BlackBerry does right, it's their keyboards.
