This seems like a BlackBerry controlled leak. They didn't show the hub. NOBODY SHOWS the hub. We want the Hub! We want the HUB!

people are going to throw me under the bus again but based on my own eyes, and now the app drawer... leads me to believe it will be 6.0 out of the gate considering it's near stock android so it would only take a few weeks to get it ready with their own apps.

Android Authority begs to differ. Their article says Android 5.1.1 Lollipop.
Here's another BlackBerry Priv hands-on video

Seems that the dimensions from the previous "hands on" are way off, someone said on reddit that it was thinner than note 5 but apparently is not, it's pretty thick, seems to be as thick as my 930, not that this is bad in any way but in the preview it looks much slimmer, remains to be see when it's official what the dimensions are.

I see as well this is an exclusive to CPW - that is generally code for "none of the carriers wanted it" - so top-end price and limited availability - not a good mix.

it's "pretty thick"? at 9.4mm it isn't thick

hope you're being sarcastic.

Europe might get you covered in overpaying...

I have yet to see any photos or videos with the BVK. I have now seen the keyboard in action and still no word suggestions.

For a comparison the Passport is 9.25mm

It has a big battery, and sldie out keyboard, it' seems good to me. new phones like the LG G4 or OnePlus2 are thicker

I think Bluenoser means the BLACKBERRY virtual keyboard not some android flavor keyboard.

oh got it. Blackberry features didn't seem to be there yet, but I think they will get there.

Just in case anyone wants bigger images:
Stolen from Carphone Warehouse ^^

[Bluenoser63]

oh got it. Blackberry features didn't seem to be there yet, but I think they will get there.

So they are going to AGAIN release a new phone with half baked features that might come in the future. They really don't have a clue how to release devices anymore if they ever did. They have failed at each launch since the Playbook.

So will a US retailer have pre order? Will ordering from BB be quickest for US customers?

[david7saad]

Is it true? Front facing camera just 2mp

[anon4226395]

Is it true? Front facing camera just 2mp

BlackBerry Priv specs, price and date confirmed, as pre-orders open - Pocket-lint say the same thing. Its a shame BB can't or won't preempt these errors (assuming it is 5MP after all). Yesterday a reviewer confidently talked about the 2 GB on board RAM

[FF22]

Not sure that I like the bulging camera on the rear.
