Overall, a pretty interesting review. She admits to the keyboard feeling a bit cramped as she has large fingers, especially when compared to a Passport's keyboard. But she seems to like the device.11-27-15 11:36 PMLike 3 - I tend to shy away from you tube posts on anything as I find most presentations are not at the professional level.
Michael's presentations are always ace.

Guess what? There still are BlackBerry loyalists who love pkb's and haven't given up on the company. I like Mobile Syrup's review better as it seems like they really have the phone some solid time.

Whereas merely being given one or handed one temporarily to review, I almost feel it sways their review slightly (good or bad)...lift likes this.11-28-15 05:43 AMLike 1

- What makes these people authorities on phones anyway? Most of the time they get specs wrong or don't understand the features or complain about issues that have already been resolved. They do a half-assed analysis that I could do trying out the demo in the store. It seems everyone with an internet connection can be a reviewer these days.
Posted via the CrackBerry App for Android11-28-15 08:04 AMLike 0 - I mean it depends on what you expect out of a review. Honestly, my favorite reviews are the "xx days later" or "xx months" later where the phone is actually used as a daily driver. My two cents, if you want a good Android phone it's either the Priv or the 6P. The Priv is a more interesting phone to me given all of those little BlackBerry intangibles. And you know what? The Android Hub really isn't that bad. Yes, there is no pinch to see unread, but I do like the swipe down to quickly seems your calendar events. There are just some many discouraging reviews on the Priv and yet from my experience it's actually made me quite happy. I do get cramps typing fast on the Priv's pkb vs my old Passport's. *sadness*11-28-15 08:21 AMLike 0
- Mobiletech is my go to for YouTube reviews. They do awesome in depth reviews. They don't do rushed, cookie cutter, " 2 gigabytes of ram" reviews like MKBHD.

It not like any of these reviews have come from a professional analysts consulting firm.
Would any reputable business take advice to run their business from a blogger or amateur writer? Absolutely not..

Her review is par with others, good spec sheet but software needs work.11-28-15 02:48 PMLike 0 - I usually like Lisa Gade's reviews on Mobiletechreview, however I felt she was too "gloom and doom" about BlackBerry.

Posted via CB1011-28-15 03:14 PMLike 0 - She made several mentions to how she felt the majority of people have moved on from BlackBerry and the pkb's which is a little different from what the other reviewers said [e.g. Techno Buffalo]. Sure, it's minor but I got the impression that she feels the Priv is a moot point in the mobile industry.11-28-15 05:59 PMLike 0

- This video does little new and the opinion about whether anyone would come back to BlackBerry running android is, in a word, stupid. Do all android users only buy devices from the same vendor? A Samsung user will never buy a nexus or lg or BlackBerry for that matter? It shows the same kind of lack of objectivity that irritates me. I'm not interested in the device, but hearing the same laundry list of specs and the thousandth review of the 808 SOC is tiresome. If this video was produced on Nov 8th, fine... But otherwise, if it can be said about BlackBerry, it can be said about device reviews: too little, too late.11-28-15 11:00 PMLike 0
- The only reviews worth paying attention to are here at CrackBerry or Berry Flow. Other reviewers are typically shills pandering for crapple, so you can't get a legitimate review from anybody aside from the reliable sources I just mentioned. The work CrackBerry and Berry Flow do is great. Love it.
There is such a 'bullying' feeling around most tech reviewers when it comes to BlackBerry. They are basically muscling for crapple every chance they get and hunting for clicks based on negativity towards BlackBerry or anything noncrapple. Bullies love to stand around and kick people when their down. Yes, people, BlackBerry represents many people's lives.
Lots of Android users seem to enjoy the PRIV, which is great! Just can't really trust very many reviews otherwise.
Didn't even click on this one. Ha! It might be great, might not be, I don't need to know.
I actually have never relied on somebody else's review to make a purchase because I can make up my own mind. However, I do appreciate quality reviews.

And these "amateurs" have more knowledge and experience than these unseen "pros" from these unicorn firms.
I've seen many reviewers get the specs wrong but its a simple mistake. Some of these guys are already in a flow when recording and some will correct themselves while recording or edit in the correction. Again....a simple mistake. Just something for you to nit pick since you don't like a certain review
Pretty sure if a reviewer praised the priv but still said "2 gigs of ram" most of you wouldn't even care.11-28-15 11:43 PMLike 0 - This video does little new and the opinion about whether anyone would come back to BlackBerry running android is, in a word, stupid.

- I'm cracking up at all these posts saying Lisa Gade is an "amateur." She's ALWAYS had fair and unbiased BB reviews, and she's been doing this for YEARS. I remember watching her review of the 8900 for crying out loud. She's probably been reviewing BlackBerrys before some people here have even been using them! I platform hop quite a bit and no matter what device I'm looking at I always look forward to her reviews.11-29-15 08:35 AMLike 9

- My favourite line in the entire review:
"... though it would be a little... kind of classist, elitist, and obnoxious to say it stands for privilege...."
So true.
Anyways, Lisa Gade is my go-to reviewer. She's thorough and usually pretty objective.
I think, given the dearth of physical keyboards on android devices in the last couple of years, all anyone can do is speculate on whether users still want them or not. Lisa expressed doubt. Jerry Hildenbrand over at android central couldn't wait for another physical keyboarded device and said this is one of the best two devices available. But both of their opinions are based on what they want now. Lisa became happy with tapping away on glass. Jerry never did. The rest of us? They don't know, so I guess we'll all find out when BlackBerry tells us how they've sold.pantlesspenguin and Doggerz like this.11-29-15 10:01 AMLike 2
