    No worries about Facebook, I haven't used it since 2010.
    Which browser comes with the priv? I really like the BB10 browser so I'm hoping it's similar to that but really not that big of a concern for me

    The stock Android browser.

    Android's stock browser is Chrome.

    No problem ,

    Hope you enjoy the device.


    I too used a z30 for a year , then a passport for a year then now my priv for 11 months.

    I don't miss bb10 anymore and that's down to how well blackberry have updated the priv and made the software really nice.

    Let us know with a follow up thread how's it going , also update to Marshmallow immediately . Lollipop didn't play nice with the priv. I don't know why.

    I'm only asking about the radio antenna because it doesn't use data and is great to listen to when on a hike. If I need to download an app to listen to the radio I would probably just use my z30 for when I go hiking. Can the other android BlackBerry's pick up local radio stations with their antenna?

    That's exactly what I do. Z30 in the left pocket-radio on. Priv in the right. I think that the Z30 is one of the only phones with a usable FM radio. Others apparently have it but are not turned on. Bizarre really. Is it really so they can make you use their software instead?

    I ordered a priv from shopbb which is scheduled for delivery today. In order to update to MM is it over the air or do I need autoloaders or something -- I'm not familiar with updating android devices. Thanks.

    Edit: do unlocked Privs have an FM radio also?

    Regarding questions three and four, I have little issue getting through an entire day's usage without requiring another charge; and the PRIV's buggy tendencies are continuously on the decline, especially since the release of Marshmallow.

    It is over-the-air and can be done via wifi. You do NOT need an autoloader. But just let it do its own restart/reboot which can take some time. Do not interrupt the process.

    I have read that all Priv's contain the components for an FM radio but I don't think it has been enabled on any of them. I don't know if BB left out something critical or minor but the FM radio, if it contains one, does not work in any Priv.
