- Maybe I'm a bit spoilt on my priv but I paid 650 usd for this in January.. For me to do shell out another 500 is not gonna happen.
Plus the priv and dtek have the same software and my priv flies through everything I throw at it.
80 apps on this device and it runs like a rocket.
The over heating is still there but I give that down to the material at the back as it sucks in heat rather than disperses it and obviously the 808.
I still have a sour feeling in my mouth that if blackberry waited just 2 months they could have jammed an 820 chip into this and given it 4 gb ram and this could have been the start up flagship.
All in all I'm very happy with my priv and I don't see myself changing to another device for atleast another 1 or so.Bay 13 and JG_Agustin like this.10-30-16 01:07 PMLike 2 - Maybe I'm a bit spoilt on my priv but I paid 650 usd for this in January..

- Third day using the Dtek60. Former priv owner.
Overall thoughts: camera has trade off. It's stronger in certain areas and weaker in others. With the trade off I say it's about the same as the priv. Also a lot in my opinion can be fixed with future software updates so it will get better.
Battery life is excellent. On google maps the Dtek60 uses less battery than my priv. Also on the Dtek60 it never overheats like the priv. All apps including snap chat etc run really quickly and smoothly. Everything is much snappier on the Dtek60. The hub works amazing too.
For $650 cad under current fx rates, the Dtek60 is a keeper for me. Never going back to the priv.10-30-16 04:08 PMLike 3 - I don't know if you ever notice any lag on the priv because if you have, it doesn't exist on the Dtek60 with the identical software installed. The more ram and new processor makes a huge difference.10-30-16 04:12 PMLike 0

Now if priv start acting up then I would make that move too. But I know people who just want the latest and greatest product and they are never content. Guess what? They are always broke and have less than $500.00 dollars in the bank. But they have the new iPhone 7 paying installments on Verizon. Then I have friends who make a six figure income still using an iPhone 5. Go figure. Just like America...in debt. Overspending.Last edited by Bay 13; 10-30-16 at 04:35 PM.

- You can just take my word for it. I didn't say all that superior, I said better. It's much faster, better colour reproduction, wider angle lens, and larger MP for bigger more detailed images, especially useful if you like to have your photos printed.10-30-16 04:37 PMLike 0

I want to see real comparisons like the one I did last year with passport vs PRIV. The priv camera was superior, but in some cases the passport did better
There are so many variables like fringing, dinamic range, low light. Dtek60 doesn't have OIS and that gives a great boost in picture quality in low light. In brigh light every phone is good
With faster processor I'm sure the Dtek60 is much nicer speed wise10-30-16 06:21 PMLike 0 - Third day using the Dtek60. Former priv owner.

- 18 to 21 MP is a very small difference.

Dont forget...Priv vs Dteks ...a slider is damned cool.11-01-16 03:31 AMLike 0 -
- Even when my backup was restoring, 80+ apps were queued in Google Play, the phone was on Quick Charge (3.0) and thousands of emails were coming in the DTEK60 was still cooler than the Priv. Qualcomm really atoned for their past crimes with the 820.11-01-16 06:59 PMLike 0
- If you want a more powerful and good-looking phone then the DTEK is good, but if you want the PKB then the Priv (or the Passport) is good.11-20-16 06:46 AMLike 0
- Dtek60 advantages over priv:
- better battery
- thinner
- lighter
- way faster. Super smooth. Amazing speed.
- seems to have improved signal on both WiFi and cell
- screen looks better
Disadvantages:
- phone is way too slippery with the glass surface at the back. It slides and slips off any slanted surfaces and ledges. Even when I lay it on my thighs on jeans.
- the edges are also very slippery making the grip less comfortable.
- no optical stabilization of the camera. Many photos are good. But some photos came out with slight motion blur despite better quality and speed.11-20-16 08:25 AMLike 0 - And others will try to justify not switching mainly because they paid a lot for the Priv. I bought the Priv and now after a month or more with the DTEK60 can see huge differences.
*DTEK60 is far faster. Noticeably.
*DTEK60 is way smoother on scrolling. Noticeably.
*DTEK60 is much lighter and thinner, easier to hold and use. And feels more comfortable than the Priv even if the DTEK60 has its case on.
*DTEK60 charges up from low levels incredibly fast.
*DTEK60 has by far a superior construction.
*DTEK60 has significantly better connectivity and maintenance of connection to networks, to car Bluetooth, and to wifi.
*I didn't use the Priv pkb much and don't miss it now at all. Those keys sucked, frankly, even though we all wanted to say they were adequate, and that's one reason why most people don't use them as much as they thought they would when they bought the Priv (no, I can't prove that but I believe most would admit it if asked). The other reason is that the BlackBerry vkb is great, as it is on the DTEK60.
*The Priv started running so hot it would shut down during Skype. It was at times too hot to hold comfortably. DTEK60 runs beautifully with zero heat issues.
*DTEK60 battery usage is better, including during heavy usage and during simple rest overnight or during the day on my desk.tonythecanuck and Bay 13 like this.11-20-16 09:28 AMLike 2
