I honestly haven't been this excited about a new phone in a long time. When I heard that Blackberry was working on an Android phone earlier this year, I was simply interested in it because of the physical keyboard aspect. Now, as I read more about its features, see more screenshots, videos, reviews, etc., I couldn't be more impressed.

Sure, the price could have been lower, but it's much easier to lower the price than raise it, so the pricing strategy makes sense and I don't mind paying a premium for the Privilege of getting it now.

For someone like me who considered Blackberry to be a dead brand to spend my hard-earned $699 on the Priv instead of the Samsung phone I was planning to buy says something about the Priv's potential to attract new customers. Exciting times.

I owned a Passport for a couple of weeks and although I liked it and wanted to make it work, I found that some of the apps I sideloaded through Snap wouldn't work because they required Google Services to run. I considered carrying two phones, but that wasn't practical so I returned it and figured Blackberry just wasn't for me. I've missed the Hub and keyboard ever since, though.

I agree and I have even tried using iPhone 6 for 3 months but went back to BlackBerry for productivity. This is why I can't wait. It's the best of all world's with Priv in one device. Tired of manipulation of apps. No longer! An All in one device. So excited!!!!!!!!

Sorry I can't share your excitement, I waited almost four years for a slider to replace my 9810 and when it finally arrives it's an Android phone, no thanks.

So - just wondering. Based on how digital rivers phrases it, do you expect your device to ship on 11/6 and arrive in the next couple days (possibly the following Monday) or do you expect it will arrive en casa on Friday the 6th? I hope it gets here on Friday... obviously!!!

I'm really hoping it arrives either before or on the 6tb

[PerryPalis]

If payment was taken from my bank account (I used PayPal) on the 26th, would that usually mean shipment is soon? I'm with Resilience when he said:

Oh well, at least you're not making a big deal about it...

Don't forget the 6th is a Friday, so if the orders are not shipping out until the 6th, it will be the Monday it arrives

Sadly they are not shipping until the day of the 6th. At most 5-6 business days after that you will receive. I'm hoping Rogers has in stock on 6th

I've used for the most part in my digital life used a BlackBerry device due to the keyboard typing accuracy! I've switched briefly to a samsung note and still use an android tablet alongside my Passport!

For me the biggest issue is syncronizing contacts and calendar entries in outlook and could always use a side app to sync but I'm waiting to hea what the native solution is. I do miss Google play services with the few apps that I use that require that,however I've already reserved my device at Rogers Wireless.

Of course not Blackberry hardware belongs with Blackberry software, that's all I want.
