    Android feels like a retro os compare with BB10 and I know because I was a early adopter of Android at the start till I was able to test the Z10.

    The Priv is not available on Verizon. In my area I must have Verizon.

    Passport is the best mobile device I ever had.

    I don't like sliders. Ever since the 9800 I was saddled with. It's just, for me, annoying. The Passport form is nicer -- one solid piece.

    Units that have not been tested properly.
    Passport is still the best

    Hasn't convinced me that it can replace any of my bb10 phones. I do plan on getting it though just to have on the side while BlackBerry gets it together on their end. Maybe by early 2016 during tax season

    No BBOS, no sale. My Z10 may be my last BB, but that is up to Chen.
    Today is your lucky day 20% on most recent devices!
    I'm sure you know this by now. To bad for me they don't have the red pp that's the only one I was missing hoping to catch a break on Friday!

    I believe that every reason that was posted is correct!

    We cannot tell people what they feel isn't a good enough reason to purchase a device!
    That'll be the day that someone tells me how I should feel!!!

    1) Runs Android
    2) No Removable battery. I do not want to have a $900 paperweight for a simple faulty battery once the battery wears down.
    3) Too big

    Otherwise, it is a great phone.

    Me, I am holding on to my Z10/Q10.

    Too expensive. For the same amount, I have more choices for other phones.

    This. At least the Playbook was innovative.

    This is Android and they want us to pay a premium for it. If I want Android I will get a Nexus device with vanilla Android and know Google stands behind it with software updates for years.

    Because all of the BlackBerrys I have ever purchased have eventually become obsolete.. Storm, Bold 9930.. BBOS no longer gets updated.. Forced to BB10.. Z10, Q10 and Z30 I have had and now it looks as if BB10 will no longer be around.. Priv is the focus now with Android.. And I chose BlackBerry because I didn't want Android or Apple.. BlackBerry was secure and I enjoyed the physical keyboard and unique qualities of BlackBerry.. But now I am on iOS because it just works well!.. They make sure everyone gets their money's worth.. iOS 9 goes all the way back to the 4S I think. I've always been a BlackBerry fan but they always seem to disappoint.. That's why..

    Agree...my personal device is the Porsche Design Graphite BlackBerry P'9983, but my work issued device is an iPhone 6s on Mobile Iron behind the F5-Edge VPN Client. I've become so use to iOS that eventually I'll probably switch to both being iPhones but after dropping $1150 on the Porsche Design I'll stick with it as long as it's getting updates.

    That's exactly how I feel for both Droid and iOS. Both are retro (at this point) Operating Systems compared to BB10. Even my beloved 9900 running OS7 seems dated now. BB10 has me spoiled.... in a good way.

    Still on contract and there are better phones for less money. The name BlackBerry means nothing to me other than its the phone I use currently.

    Don't feel I need a PKB after all. Might try a plain slab, no PKB if they make one sometime as I like the concept of the joined eco systems.

    The price is holding me back. I'm hesitating to pull the trigger from Amazon. If it was $550 or so, I'd be more inclined.

    I still have about 10 months left on my contract with telus. The priv is a brand new product. I'll wait a bit and see. Besides a lot can happen in 10 months. I'm still really loving my passport.

    1: Because it's Android!
    2: Because it's a slider (I absolutely dislike sliders, especially top sliders)!
    3: Because the keyboard is crampy (after going from 9900, to Q10, to Classic and now Passport, Priv keyboard is "crampy")!
    4: Because it's Android!!
    5: Because it's Android!!!
    6: Because it's Android!!!!
