I've got a date with the Priv [Updated]
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
