    Hi All

    I am visiting USA from UK for 3 weeks and was thinking of buying the PRIV from amazon.com and take it back to UK.
    (https://www.amazon.com/PRIV-BlackBerry-Factory-Unlocked-Smartphone/dp/B0169SNI3C/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1468524150&sr=8-2&keywords=blackberry+priv)

    I was just wondering if it'll work in UK?

    Also how do I get the OS upgrades? Is it tied to mobile network/carriers or to Blackberry services?

    Thanks
    Nilay

    It should work, the GSM models have significant band overlap.

    As for updates, it depends if they ship you a factory unlocked model or an AT&T model. Hope you get the former; they get updates essentially the day the come out, while the AT&T model requires an active AT&T SIM card + AT&T to get off their butts and push out an update.
