- OK, I realize this post is going to get hate from the BlackBerry fan boys, but this needs to be said. I am a current PP user and cancelled my Priv order from Shopblackberry because there were entirely too many posts complaining about a disparity in the battery life. So really buying the Priv made me feel like I'm a Beta tester and not a valued customer who is getting a quality BlackBerry product. A part of me wonders if the complaints out there are due to the BB 10 users who are having a culture shock from Android. Believe me, I wanted to have this device. There's just way too much of a disparity in the reviews to feel confident about dropping $700.

Many just are not updating BlackBerry Limited apps and doing their syc settings properly. Not turning off apps notifications that suck data constantly.

- OP, I think you made a smart move.
Let things settle down with the PRIV, maybe a software patch or two and a price drop and it "might" be a great choice in the future.
Then again there could be some manufacturing issues with their new "partner", that need to be addressed.kertong likes this.11-18-15 11:00 AMLike 1 - I won't hate on you but I'm getting great battery life and I'm a fairly heavy user on my Priv. I'm easily getting 16+ hours of use and showing typically 20% remaining when I plug it in to charge at night. No heat issues either with my Priv.
I'm very pleased after migrating from a Q10. Sorry you are not happy.

- I mean maybe when the price comes down I'll come back. The whole concept of the Priv is very appealing to me and I think that Android in general is a very smart move to save BlackBerry's hardware sales. I'm glad there are people out there happy with their battery life. I just don't understand why comments about this device are all over the place. Help me out here, is that fairly typical for Crackberry users?
Posted via CB1011-18-15 11:07 AMLike 0 - That's the different between I phone fans and BlackBerry fans, I phone fans even they fond any thing bad, on their I phones they don't complain and make it the best, but BlackBerry fans they love to make BlackBerry the worst device ever, on bb10 they are complain no apps, now with android thw issue solved, then no we won't priv with bb10 , for me the best move now and they should do it from before, coz when priv do good bb10 stay alive in long term when it's failed it's mean good bye bb10 and blackberry device, sorry for bad English

So he's read a lot of mixed reviews on the product, so what if he's having doubt. That should fall on BlackBerry for not getting it into his hands faster.

- I think part of the battery life issue is just the rate at which it declines initially. My battery life has continued to improve, yet it still seems to drain very quickly in the morning, but then the drain rate slows down, I have yet to go a full day and have it die, even in the beginning I plugged in at 15% after doing initial setup, downloading apps and over using it because it was new and exciting.
Seems to be a premature move, if you could have just returned it after testing it for yourself. But at least you are rocking a passport which is fantastic and BB10
Posted via the CrackBerry App for Android11-18-15 11:27 AMLike 0 - No regrets having bought the Priv. Moving from Z30, I can only feel I have now a superior, faster and up to date device surrounded by a much more complete OS.
Now I know that the ecosystem will be supported as long as I own the device, and that feels good.
No battery drain or other exaggerated issue.

I've got news for you, people on these types of forums usually post when they have problems, thus even if most of the posts are negative, they are hardly representative of the Priv (or any device) as a whole.
Next shocker (hope you're sitting down) i'm pretty sure there are a lot of perfectly happy Android users out there who have never heard of CrackBerry. Given that (for the most part) we BlackBerry loyalists aren't the target demographic and new Android user conquests are, I wouldn't put much stock in anyone's opinion here, mine included.
I'm sure it's a great phone. I'll wait a bit for the price to come down in the coming months but i'm pretty sure that BlackBerry is on the right track, much as I really really like BlackBerry 10.

I will say this, having to make this phone work for me it's not bad. Battery life did improve. And it's cool going from a z10 to all the new features. But it's not worth 700. It should of at least come with a sleeve and screen protector and a 5 mp front facing camera at 700$.
But I have hopes and dreams and I am suffering android in case it helps them enough that they see all our suffering and build another bb10 device.

Posted via CB1011-18-15 11:40 AMLike 0 - Had mine for a couple of days now and at first, it was roasting hot as it sync'd everything and set itself up, it's now fine and battery life is good, not great, but getting better as I fine tune it's settings.
As Blackberry pushes out updates the device will get smoother but there's nothing there that's made me regret buying the Priv, and it will only get better in the coming months.
Posted via the CrackBerry App for Android11-18-15 11:41 AMLike 0 - Oh okay you cancelled your order. Not sure what we can exactly do with that information or how it's important but okay.
