I will be putting my mitts on a Priv on Wednesday this week.

Nana nana boo boo.

Sorry had to do it.

If I'm allowed to document the experience I will.



EDIT:

1. Virtual Keyboard, does it behave like what we have on z10 or Z30. (confirmed also vkb and pkb at same time possible)
2. Can you find a remember app? (There is a "notes" app in its place)
3. Browser tests (browser is chrome see latest chrome results.)
4. Camera samples ( unable to obtain any samples off the device but very nice clear photos even under low light 2 stage "colour" flash)
5. Physical Keyboard testing (works like passport on 10.3.1) (no pinch to zoom but scrolling is there)
6. Bendgate testing lol (the device feels very sturdy and it's slide design is a "dual track")
7. Call end and answer with slide (confirmed from asking question)
8. Price!!!! (399-499 2yr term cad 799-899 mtm possibly 950 on shopbb)
9. Lag or stutter (open a page in browser and using two finger pinch and zoom method to zoom in and out in high speed continuously, see if the zoom can keep it up with your finger) ***(none noted keeps up very well)

Device was pre production. 5.1.1 was loaded... BlackBerry has marshmallow likely Priv to see it

Boot time under 90sec

Root of trust prevents rooting ( enjoy your new brick ) *two stages hardware check and os check*

Hub is accessible from anywhere with a long press on home and a drag up to the right (stock) *customizable 3 apps* hub using Google messages api's so anything that shows in droid message center will show up.

The three dots are apps you can long press and see information (live tileish) that is interactive.

Instant previews confirmed ( also for phone calls if in email for example will give instant preview instead of interrupting your full screen)

Bbid integration stops at bbm.

No blend (currently)

Pkb is backlit


Video and photography was forbidden... but... I was able to sneak a couple pics nothing you haven't seen.


Questions? I'll try to answer as best I can.

Edit edit... November 6

If you can share it.

[anon4226395]

I'd really like to hear your impressions after 5 minutes" hands on" (time many potential buyers spend at the store evaluating). WIll it be a "must have" or little doubts/disappointments lurking. The hard core reviews, I can wait for. Enjoy your date

[Deanig_12]

Nov 6th worldwide release

Yes I've being told the same thing

[anon4226395]

Yes I've being told the same thing

I wasn't but I'm just a simple consumer

[anon4226395]

I wasn't but I'm just a simple consumer

who is fed little titbits like this on a daily basis: "BlackBerry’s New Android-Powered Priv Has 1 Big Problem at Motley Fool(Tue 11:00AM EDT)" This morning's headline on Yahoo Finance. Add to that all of the price mis-representations etc, and I think BB marketing (?an oxymoron) needs to get seriously busy

[kevwill6115]

Yes I've being told the same thing

That release is pretty close. When do they plan on having the launch event?

[smart548]

Looking forward your impressions! ;-) Especially excited about the BlackBerry suite and the hub (what will go into it? Just mail,bbm and appointments? ) and the overall build quality.

Hey can you check about the front cam? and how it feel about the software

[DroidBerryGuy]

bbm video/front camera spec/audio quality

For sure. Put the damn rumors to rest and get a SS of the front and rear camera MPs. Also, study how the Edge works on the Samsung devices and see if it works the same on the Priv.

[snowsquirrel]

I am pretty sure front camera has been stated as 2MP everywhere. Some selfie-whores dispute that number because they don't want to believe it, but that is the only reason they have for not accepting it as truth.

BBM Video, and price would be the two things I want to know most. The only reason BBM video matters, is that maybe it is an indication regular android phones will get it, as my only BBM friends are on other platforms sadly.

Audio quality, and camera focus speed would be nice to know. If the device is as expensive as it is rumoured to be, those things should be top notch.

Try pick up and hang up with the slide.

[Alain_A]

So I was right from a previous thread. Release world wide

[snowsquirrel]

Well I am back reading this thread again, 10 minutes after I posted here. I have to stop.... need help.

Yes I am sad about what the writing on the wall says about BB10, especially if it had taken off and BB had the resources to pump into it to take it to the next level.

But access to all the apps in the Play Store running natively, android 5.0 is a long shot better than 4.x when I last tried android, almost stock, beautiful hardware, etc.

I have not been this excited for a BB launch since the Crackberry Kevin was still working for a living, posting rumours about the 'Javelin (8900)', which of the 6 BB's I have owned is my tied for my favourite with the Z30. Only other phone I have been this amped for was the iPhone 4.

[Xaiux]

I'd be curious about a Sunspider benchmark run, you can run it in the browser. Also, go to the settings and see if you can find what launcher it is running. Settings/device/home to get there.

[crackbb10]

Perhaps you could check the existence of the edge feature. And yes!
