    Battery

    I can get a day out of it (6:00 AM to 11:00 PM) if I use it moderately. Sometimes I require a top up during the afternoon. I think it charges in about an hour with the rapid charger and 2 hours with the one that came with the device.

    Heat

    No heat for me in general use, however, it does overheat when I use Waze or Google Maps for some time.

    Hub

    The Hub isn't as good as the BB10 Hub, but it is quite good overall and seems to be getting better with updates. I use is all the time.

    Performance

    I've not noticed lag at all. Sees to always be quick.

    Bloatware

    Nothing of note. I'm on Rogers and they included a Rogers app.

    Conclusion

    With the Priv you get monthly security updates, an un-rootable device, the great physical keyboard (which I use extensively), and good integration with the bundled BlackBerry apps.

    Battery Life - Seems to last all day with normal usage. Checking Email, Replying to email, Calendar entries, and general surfing.

    Heat - No real problems here with heat. every now and again it will get hot using GPS or during a game. I have it in a case so I don't really notice to much.

    Hub - The HUB is great. It gets better with every update as well.

    Performance - No real lag issues here. The Priv handles MM pretty well.

    Bloatware - I have a AT&T Model with the MM Beta. It has the normal AT&T bloatware. Directv, My AT&T, Family Map, Navigator, Protect Plus, Smart Wifi, Drive Mode,Yellow pages, Yahoo Finance, Mobile TV, and Smart Limits. I have disabled all of those apps though.

    Conclusion - There are some features I wish that the Priv would borrow from BB10. Overall it has been a great phone. The PKB is great and makes responding to Emails a breeze.
