I LOVE my Blackberry priv
No this is not a post from 2015 lol.
So my priv came in the mail today. I won it off ebay getting it for 70 dollars canadian which i was very happy about!
WOW did I miss this device. I remember buying this is 2015 and in my opinion its still the best blackberry ever made. Yes I am aware of all the overheating problems etc, I know its out of date and gets no security patches but this is going to be my daily driver. First of all, I forgot how AMAZING the screen is on this device. It absolutely destroys any of the screens in the keyone series of phones. It's just a beyond gorgeous device. The sliding PKB has and will always be my favorite.
I was also able to apply all the fixes to help the battery life so I am having no issues with the device heating up etc. It's also perfect for me because I am trying to limit my time on my cell phone so by default I know if I am logging tons of screen time the device will drain so it keeps me honest and ensures I am not spending too much time on the device.
I really hope onward makes a priv 2. I actually think its the only way they could sell this idea to governments because if you make a premium device with a slide out PKB people that want to use the PKB can and those that don't can use the virtual keyboard.
I loved blackberry keyone specifically the black edition and was never a fan of the key 2 but this device hands down blows them both out of the water. I am proud to have the last true blackberry made by Research in Motion and I plan on using this till it dies lol.
